The Forestburg High School volleyball team knows every win is important right now.
The Lady Horns continued their push for a District 2A-10 playoff spot – improving their record to 19-11, 5-3 in the district – after a straight-set victory by the scores of 25-10, 25-6, 25-6.
“I feel like we could have done better,” said Lady Bears coach Lyndsey Shaw. “We weren’t very focused on the game.”
“They performed well,” said Lady Horns coach Rosana Barbosa. “They entered the game motivated, which helped. They served well and only had a few fixable mistakes.”
It appeared at times throughout the game both teams had an issue with the ball bouncing from the ceiling, something Shaw acknowledges.
“Well the thing is, we work on that in practices,” Shaw said. “We run drills to prepare ourselves for that. Like I said, we just didn’t focus really well in the game. It caught us off guard.
“Forestburg has some good hitters,” Shaw said. “They did a good job finding our weak spots and hitting them.”

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.
