Bryan Goehring remembers what it’s like to compete against basketball players from the Bellevue Independent School District.
Now Goehring will be coaching for Bellevue in what serves as a Clay County homecoming.
Goehring is a 1994 graduate of Byers, which shuttered its high school a couple of years ago.
The Bellevue ISD hired Goehring as the new girls’ basketball coach and he’ll also be a kindergarten through 12th-grade physical education instructor.
“It means a lot to me,” Goehring said in a telephone interview with The Bowie News on Monday. “Everybody likes to come home. I’ve missed Texas.”
At Byers, Goehring was a 5-foot-10 guard – playing both backcourt spots – and Bellevue and Byers were in the same Conference 1A district back then.
Goehring brings an impressive resume to the table.
During the past three years at West Craven High School at Vanceboro, N.C., he coached the Eagles’ boys’ basketball team to an 80-13 record. Read more of this story in the weekend edition of The Bowie News.

After a tough loss to open District 10-A volleyball play, Bellevue’s squad used the two-day break to refocus its efforts. The break worked as the Lady Eagles evened its record at 1-1 with a 3-0 win over visiting Midway Sept. 24 (25-17, 25-22, 25-20).

Bellevue Coach Jamie Hickey said working on game scenarios in practice has begun to pay off. Keeping focus was key to the victory as well.

“I think our key tonight was our mindset and just staying together,” Hickey said. “Letting mistakes go and focusing on the next play. We’ve been working on scenarios in practice and being intentional with each possession and attacking the ball more. I think we did tonight.” The Falcons played gutsy all night long, staying in each game after Bellevue had taken a good lead but the Lady Eagles, playing before a large crowd, held their own.
