FOOTBALL: Bowie takes a breather

Bowie played before high school alumni on homecoming night, taking on a salty group from Gunter.
The Jackrabbits closed out the non-district schedule with a 1-4 record after a 48-14 loss.
“I feel like we did some good things,” said head coach Dylan Stark. “But whenever we’d get something good going, we’d shoot ourselves in the foot. But, I still felt we played better than we did against Pottsboro.”
One could say optimism for Bowie was hard to come by as Gunter had lost their game to Pilot Point the previous week and their eighth-place ranking in the Associated Press Texas 3A Division II poll.
However, Stark said the team was largely unaffected by any outside talk.
“We knew Gunter was a good team, but we feel like we’re a good team too.” 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.
