Win some, lose some: Boyd softball advances as baseball team heads home

After splitting a pair of close games to push its area-round playoff series with Mesquite to a decisive Game 3, the McKinney Boyd softball team swung things their way on Saturday with a comfortable 7-3 win.

The Lady Broncos (29-6) racked up 10 hits and Jill Nicklas and Bailey Jo Jones tripled to push past Mesquite and into a matchup with Temple in the regional quarterfinals. Temple defeated Longview, 14-0, and Garland, 7-2, in one-game playoffs in the bi-district and area rounds, respectively.

After dominating Richardson in the opening round, 22-0, the Lady Broncos cruised into their series with Mesquite on a 17-game winning streak that included a perfect run through District 10-5A. It had been months since a team challenged Boyd, but the Lady Skeeters managed to end their win streak with a 2-0 win in Game 1.

Trading Places: Don English takes over at West

Published: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 2:51 PM CDT
Plano ISD baseball fans familiar with Don English from his stint as the Plano East head coach may be in for a bit of uniform shock come the spring as English has been hired as the new baseball coach at Plano West.


"We interviewed five of the best coaches from across the state," said Gerald Brence, Plano ISD athletic director, "and Don was the best candidate."

The hiring completes what essentially looks like a trade. English is taking over for Kendall Clark, who departed West for Coppell, where English was the previous coach.

"Don is a guy with tremendous character who has won everywhere he's gone," Brence said. "I have no doubt this is the best move for West."
