The Bowie High School junior varsity team opened the 2014 football season against Hirschi at Jackrabbit Stadium on Thursday.
After enduring a slow start, the team rallied in the second half to take the season opener 34-20.
“The players could’ve given up, but they didn’t,” Bowie head coach Dylan Stark said. “I was proud of the team and how they bounced back. We have to take care of the ball better and we are working on tackling every week.”
Stark said the players made solid adjustments all game long, and that contributed to the win.
The first quarter was a defensive battle, and neither team was able to put up points.
The Jackrabbits offense made a few costly mistakes in the second quarter as the ball was stripped and recovered by the Hirschi defense twice. The Huskies also intercepted a Bowie pass, which resulted in a Huskies touchdown.
Bowie’s comeback began late in the second as Rylan Dorman caught a pass from Jeffery Howard from 25 yards out for the score.

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.
