Bowie head football coach Dylan Stark said the last time he played musical chairs was back during his childhood.
That was until Saturday night’s Meet the Rabbits celebration, the kickoff event the Bowie Booster Club puts on at Jackrabbit Stadium.
“It’s been a long time since I did that, but it was a lot of fun,” Stark said.
Stark was eliminated early in musical chairs. Football player Chase Hall nudged out Madison Little from the volleyball team for the victory.
The football players won the tug-of-war while the cheerleading and volleyball moms won those respective rope pulls. The moms had help from several Bowie football players.
“Musical chairs and the tug-of-wars, we’ve had great success with those,” said Cynthia Robertson, Bowie Booster Club president. “I thought it was a wonderful night.”
Events were delayed for about 20 minutes due to a thunderstorm that popped up Saturday around 5 p.m. Read more in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News.

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.
