Bowie Sports Association presents awards
The Bowie Sports Association, which serves as the sanctioning body for local youth baseball and softball, had its awards night on Monday at Haggar Sports Complex.
Awards were given to players in all three T-ball divisions: boys, girls and coed.
Trophies also were given to the first- and second-place winners in several other divisions.
Bowie Sports Association Commissioner Dean Cage read the names of all boys and girls that were present to receive their awards.
Today marks the start of a series of photo pages of local baseball and softball teams in The Bowie News.
The series will run for the next several issues, wrapping up with T-ball.
The Dirt Diamonds were the top team in the girls’ 12-under division. Terry Gunter is the head coach, and Stacy Gamblin is the assistant. The team featured the following girls, Camberly Gunter, Abbi Gamblin, Aslyn Davis, Jasmine Jones, Emily Moore, Taylor Kirkham, Lilyann Martinez, Emily Hanson, Dalia Esquivel, Danna Valdez and Breanna Densitt.

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.
