Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians beat Wichita Falls on Friday night before the football game.
The Lady Indians beat the Lady Coyotes 3-1 in a match Nocona controlled for most of the time.
Nocona won the first set in dominating fashion 25-13.
The second set was a lot closer, but the Lady Indians were able to close it out in the final points 25-22 to take a 2-0 lead.
The third set proved to be even more competitive as it went into extra points. Unfortunately, Wichita Falls was able to narrowly win 26-24 to force a fourth set.
Not wanting to give the Lady Coyotes hope to force a fifth set, Nocona was able to finish the set strong, winning 25-19.
Skyler Smith led the team with 14 kills, 15 digs and was second with 15 assists. Megyn Meekins had a team high six service aces and 20 assists while being second with 11 kills.
Olivia Six had a team high three blocks while Kaygan Stone was second with 12 digs.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers lost a tough match at Lindsay.
The 2A Lady Knights won in straight sets against the Lady Panthers.
Saint Jo faced one of its biggest tests of the year against Lindsay, a team that was bigger in more ways than just the amount of kids that go to the school.
The young Saint Jo team might have felt a bit intimidated as it lost the first two sets with one-sided scores 25-12 and 25-13.
Coach Kelly Skidmore did feel her girls got into the game a bit more as it progressed, showing up in the third set and competing better while losing 25-19.
Aubrey Morman had a team high six kills. Kayden Skidmore led the team with eight assists and two service aces. Taylor Patrick had a team high 23 digs.

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.
