HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS: Holliday sweeps Nocona baseball, softball
Nocona High School baseball rolled to a 5-0 lead early in Tuesday’s District 3A-9 game, scoring at least one run in three of the first four innings.
But then Holliday scored seven runs in the top of the fifth to take the lead, and eventually defeat Nocona 9-5.
Nocona dropped to 6-8 overall, and 2-5 in District 3A-9.
The first half of the schedule rotation is complete, and Nocona played Henrietta at home on Friday.
In the opening frame, Nocona scored twice. Kameron Hill scored on Ryder Nobile’s run-scoring sacrifice fly. Jaxon Phipps later scored on a Tres Howard walk.
Nocona added two more runs in the third inning as Phipps smacked a home run over the fence in left field and Howard’s RBI single scored Jeremy James. Hill plated Nocona’s fifth run in the bottom of the fourth on a passed ball.
Softball
Holliday 17, Nocona 0
Holliday put Nocona away with a whopping eight runs in the top of the fifth inning.
Katelynn Walker was the lone Lady Indian to record a multiple-hit game. Kady Hackley also had a hit for Nocona. Madilynn Cable and Claire Walker drew walks, but that was the sum total of the team’s offense. Read more, and see complete box scores in the weekend Bowie News.

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.
