The Nocona High School boys’ basketball team made it back-to-back playoff appearances Wednesday as the team traveled to Decatur to take on Whitesboro in a Conference 3A bi-district game.
However, the Indians were dealt a stinging 100-70 loss to end their season.
Despite scoring the first basket of the game, the first quarter would not end well for the Tribe as they quickly found themselves in a big 33-18 hole.
Once Whitesboro gained the lead, the Bearcats never relinquished it.
The Bearcats reached the triple digits within the final minute of the fourth quarter en route to their 30-point victory.
Regardless of the loss, Kameron Hill played a great game for the Indians, leading the team with 34 points, adding seven rebounds and an assist.

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.
