FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: Stallcup gives Bowie victory
The Bowie High School football team earned its first victory of the season as Kevin Stallcup scored on a 1-yard run in overtime to give the Jackrabbits a 41-35 victory at Jackrabbit Stadium.
Bowie was up 35-27 in the fourth quarter when the Bullfrogs mounted a late rally. Lake Worth scored first on a safety, and then Tray White completed a 16-yard TD pass to Tony Birch.
The Bullfrogs misfired on the extra-point conversion, and that sent the game into overtime.
Bowie’s Lawson Mickler connected with Chase Hall on a pair of touchdowns and one more TD pass to Jay Ward. Carter Shackelford added a 10-yard TD run for the winning Jackrabbits.
Bowie travels to Henrietta next Friday, with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff.

Records: Lake Worth 0-2, Bowie 1-1
Muenster wallops Nocona
At Muenster, Nocona’s Kyle Santell threw a pair of touchdown passes and the Indians stayed competitive with the Hornets through one quarter.
But, the Conference 2A Division II eighth-ranked Muenster had way too many answers for Nocona in this battle of traditional rivals, winning 61-19.
Nocona will have its first home game of the season next Friday against Ponder.
The Indians and Hornets were tied at 13-all heading into the second quarter when the Hornets poured it on with 27 points. Muenster added 21 more points in the third quarter.
Dalton Bartel scored three of Muenster’s first four touchdowns.

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.
