CROSS COUNTRY: Cantwell, Diaz both finish top-30
For Nocona High School’s Miriam Diaz, the University Interscholastic League Conference 3A girls meet marked the end of the line.
For Bowie’s Kamryn Cantwell, the journey is just beginning.
Cantwell, a freshman, clocked in with a time of 12 minutes, 38.74 seconds over the two-mile course at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock. It was good enough for 19th.
Diaz was roughly six seconds behind, recording a time of 12:44.78, and that placed her in 28th.
Those two were the only representatives from Montague County and The Bowie News coverage area.
Holliday’s dazzling Cryslan Tucker won the meet in a blazing time of 11:55.84. Like Cantwell, Tucker is just a freshman.

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.
