Bowie High School libero Karsen Morgan was named to the all-tournament team as the Lady Rabbits won the Silver Bracket at the “Buckle Up For Lane’s Sake Tournament” in Nocona on Saturday.
Morgan scooped up 15 digs in three matches for Bowie as the Lady Rabbits topped Nocona’s JV 25-16, 25-20, beat Boyd in three sets 25-12, 23-25, 26-24 and topped Burkburnett, also in three, 20-25, 25-16, 25-16.
“I was very proud of my girls this past weekend,” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said. “It has been a rough, grueling three weeks with back-to-back tournaments and games on Fridays.
“Even though we ended up in the Silver Division,” Stark continued, “I felt like the accomplishment we were able to achieve as a team was more beneficial than any other route we could have taken.”
Bowie improved to 14-11 heading into its final non-district game on Tuesday against Krum at home. 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.
