HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Gold-Burg preps for Newcastle
Newcastle is performing at a high level, and the Bobcats are coming off a convincing District 12-1A-I victory over Bryson.
That win gave Forestburg new life for a possible playoff spot.
“I’ve watched them on film, and they are a talented team,” said Gold-Burg head coach Jay Johnson.
The Bobcats are expected to run a balanced tight offense with some Jaybird formations thrown into the mix. On defense, Newcastle is primarily a 3-2 team.
Mikey Walker is the player to watch, gaining 993 yards on 95 totes this season. Walker has 16 TD on offense and he’s one of the area’s leaders in tackles with 67.
Johnson called Walker a “relentless” player.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
