Texas 6-Man Clinic next week
The Texas 6-Man Coaching School will begin on Tuesday at the Wichita Falls Hotel with a social gathering at the Kiowa Casino.
Clinic sessions will start on Wednesday with individual Texas 6-man coaches. That afternoon, Tim “Trapper” O’Connell will have a session on concussion training. There will be a chalk talk session on Wednesday evening.
More breakout sessions are slated Thursday before a golf outing in the afternoon. On Friday, there will be a session with the University Interscholastic League and a general business meeting.
On Friday night, the 6-Man Division II East-West game will take place at Memorial Stadium. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, the East-West girls’ and boys’ basketball game are set for D.L. Ligon Coliseum on the campus of Midwestern State University, with the girls game at 1 p.m. and the boys at 3 p.m. The 6-Man Division I football game will take place at 7:30 p.m.
Saint Jo girls basketball coach Glenn Boerger will be coaching the East squad in the girls’ all-star contest.
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.
