AREA FOOTBALL: Saint Jo lets it slip away in third quarter
The Saint Jo High School football team was down by just four points to Milford in the third quarter when the claws came off the Panthers.
Wyatt West scampered 45 yards for a touchdown on an interception return and Milford was ahead 24-20.
“We had momentum,” Saint Jo head coach Chad Tallon said. “But, then we had some injuries.”
Tallon said events snowballed quickly and Milford, which was a state finalist last year, recorded a 66-20 victory at Harley Sewell Field.
Saint Jo stands at 1-1.
The game was stopped with 5 minutes, 41 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
Saint Jo didn’t even muster 100 yards in total offense.
“We didn’t throw the ball well,” Tallon said.
Laramie Brawner was the Panthers’ top defensive player with 12 tackles, and he also rushed seven times for 31 yards and a touchdown. Read how Gold-Burg and Forestburg fared in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News, and see scoring summaries as well.

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.
