The Bowie Lady Rabbits closed out their four-game homestand with another Saturday afternoon match against Holliday in District 3A-9 play.
The team fell to 16-15 overall, and 1-4 in 3A-9 after a Holliday got the upper hand in five sets by scores of 25-18, 18-25, 25-14, 22-25 and 15-13.
“I thought we were evenly matched,” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said. “Both teams did a good job of keeping the ball in play. They didn’t have as many errors as we did.”
It all came down to the fifth set.
And Bowie helped Holliday with a couple of missed serves as well as four hitting errors along the front row.
Stark said it was a competitive match, especially noting how the Lady Rabbits and Lady Eagles kept trading out sets.

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.
