Nocona teams fall at Holliday
Baseball
It did not go well for the Nocona baseball team when it played district champ Holliday on the road earlier in the week.
The Eagles won 10-0 after five innings due to run-rule as the Indians did limit them to most of the damage to two innings.
The first inning saw Holliday take a 5-0 lead. The third inning was Nocona’s best chance to score as Miguel Olivares drew a walk and Kooper Hansard followed with a single to put two runners on base with one out.
Hansard came into to pitch the second and third innings and allowed only one run during that time to make the score 6-0.
In the fifth inning Holliday came on strong and scored four runs to end the game early due to run-rule 10-0.
Softball
The Nocona Lady Indians lost to state-ranked Holliday on the road on Monday night.
The Lady Eagles won 15-0 after three innings against the Lady Indians due to run-rule.
Nocona pitchers Reagan Phipps and Sydnee Mowry only walked one batter and the defense committed only two errors, but it did not matter as Holliday hitters continually got base hits all night.
Offensively, Nocona batters did make some contact against Holliday’s ace pitcher, but only Katy Barrett’s drawn walk prevented no base runners from getting on for the Lady Indians.
Nocona’s last game of the season was on Friday against City View for senior night.

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.

“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.
