STORM CENTER: Will this make you hungry?
The sports editor has a couple of goals with this week’s column.
I want to make you hungry, and I hope the same thing happens to me.
It ceases to amaze me the number of former professional athletes who, after their playing days are over, enter the restaurant business or general food industry.
Some athletes don’t have a hands-on approach, but allow the use of their name for a restaurant.
Let’s start off with one of everybody’s favorite people: Former Texas Ranger and Houston Astro pitcher Nolan Ryan.
Ryan assures consumers a line of beef from cattle raised exclusively on a grass-fed diet, “never with any added hormones, antibiotics, artificial ingredients or preservatives.”
Cattle comes from United States ranchers.
According to Ryan’s website, nolanryanbeef.com, beef from grass-fed cattle is higher in Vitamin A, Vitamin E and a better balance of Omega fatty acids.
Some of the products Ryan offers are hickory smoked beef franks, fully-cooked all-natural beef patties and sliders, beef sausage and hot links. Read the entire column in the weekend 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.
