The Bowie Junior High School boys’ basketball teams opened the 2014-15 season on Monday, with split results against visiting Brock.
The Bowie seventh-graders played strong full-court defense and rolled to a comfortable early lead en route to a 35-17 victory.
In the seventh-grade game, Bowie had a 16-2 intermission edge. Six of Bowie’s eight players scored, paced by nine each from Davis Shackelford and Heston Tole.
Brock’s offense was dominant in the eighth-grade game, as the Eagles prevailed over the Cottontails 70-36.
Justin Franklin had the most points for Bowie here, with 18 points.
The Cottontails found themselves in a 20-point hole early, and climbed within 11 in the second quarter before falling further behind again.
The seventh-graders are 1-0 while the eighth-graders are still seeking their first win.

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.
