The Bowie High School junior varsity/ninth-grade team looked rested and rejuvenated in Thursday night’s game against Boyd.
And for good reason, too, since the Jackrabbits didn’t play last week.
In the end, Bowie rolled to a 32-0 halftime lead en route to a 38-6 victory at Jackrabbit Stadium and the team snapped a three-game losing streak and Bret Davis rushed for three touchdowns.
Bowie stands at 3-3.
“We put some new plays in,” Bowie junior varsity coach Quentin Berend said, “and that helped us a bunch.”
Berend said it was a team victory, with players performing well on both offense and defense.
“Everybody made plays,” he said.
Boyd opened the game with a long drive, only to see it spoiled by Bret Davis, who recovered a fumble inside the Jackrabbits’ 5-yard line. Read more 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.
