BOWIE VOLLEYBALL: Lady Rabbits sweep Jacksboro
The Bowie High School volleyball team remained alive for a postseason berth with a straight-set District 3A-9 victory on the road at Jacksboro on Tuesday.
The Lady Rabbits prevailed by scores of 25-18, 25-13, 25-15.
Bowie improved to 19-17 overall and 4-6 in 3A-9.
If the Lady Rabbits want to play beyond the regular season, they must play with urgency.
And that begins today, Saturday, with a district match at Paradise. The varsity match will take place about 1 p.m. Bowie then travels to take on Montague County rival Nocona on Oct. 21.
Bowie played well on offense with 23 kills and an effective .131 hitting efficiency, one of its better showings in that statistical category this season.
Madison Little pounded eight kills, followed by Addy Cook seven, Karlyn Dean four and Kamryn Cantwell three. Little hit .200. Read more, including junior varsity and middle school results as well as district standings, in the weekend 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.
