After four senior volleyball players were honored for their years of service to the team, Bowie made it a special day with a straight-set defeat of City View 25-6, 25-15, 25-22.
The team’s record improved to 20-19, with a 5-8 record in 9-3A.
“We played well,” said head coach Jeanie Stark. “We played with a different dynamic because we wanted the seniors to get some playing time. They did a good job, stepping up and making plays.”
The Lady Rabbits dominated the first set.
But after storming out to a 7-1 lead in the second, City View began playing better.
Bowie won the third set by only three points.
“City View has some good athletes,” Stark said. “They have some players who can hit the ball well.”
Before the match, Madeline Page, Brooke Reaves, Stephanie Clement, Cassie Caswell and manager Shanna Wadsworth were recognized during Senior Day ceremonies.

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.
