Without even playing, Bowie drops in TABC poll
The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team didn’t open the season until last night against Burkburnett.
So, to find the Lady Rabbits dropping 10 spots from 11th to 21st might be a little surprising.
All the teams ranked ahead of Bowie have played at least one game.
Grandview has played five games already and Teague and Live Oak Cliff four each.
Among area teams, Brock is second, Krum 12th and Peaster 16th.
Bowie will play Krum next Monday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m.
Five teams ahead of the Lady Rabbits have already incurred their first loss. Bowie is not ranked in the Texas Girls Coaches Association poll.
In Conference 2A girls, Muenster is 12th and Alvord 22nd to round out area teams receiving state recognition.
In Conference 3A boys, Peaster is 7th and Whitesboro is 14th.
Neither Montague County boys teams nor Bellevue are ranked.

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.
