AREA VOLLEYBALL: Forestburg overcomes Saint Jo
In what amounted to a match for possible playoff position, Forestburg got the better of rival Saint Jo at “The Dome” this past Friday.
The Lady Horns won by scores of 22-25, 17-25, 25-16, 25-13, 15-6, and improved to 18-11 overall and 4-3 in District 2A-10.
Saint Jo dropped to 9-17, 3-4.
“We didn’t play strong the first two sets against Saint Jo, but we were able to fight back,” Forestburg head coach Rosana Barbosa said. “They were ready to play us and Saint Jo did a great job. They made us work hard for every point.”
Saint Jo head coach Kristi Tallon concurred.
“Both teams played very hard,” she said. “It rallied back and forth until the very end. I am proud of the Lady Panthers for their hard work in this match.”
Haley Nolan and Hope Phipps both had 14 kills, with Virginia Cody putting down six kills and Kendall Wallace four kills plus a solo ace block, a season-best eight digs and five ace serves. Nolan chipped in with three digs. Read more in the mid-week 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.
