TPWD: Foliage now showing true colors
A reluctant autumn with warmer than usual temperatures has finally given way to the season’s first major cold front – signaling Texas flora that it’s time to don their color.
The oncoming foliage spectacular was revealed Thursday in a press release from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
More than 90 state parks offer leaf-peeping enthusiasts a safe and family-friendly setting to enjoy the show.
Trees in the Texas Panhandle and the mountains of West Texas have changed to gold, which has brightened canyons and creek beds such as Palo Duro Canyon and the Davis Mountains.
A number of state parks in northeast, east and central Texas are also reporting the leaves are changing.
In north and central Texas, park staff at Cleburne, Dinosaur Valley, Meridian and Lake Mineral Wells are expecting an eye-popping display.
For fall foliage photos and updates from state parks across Texas, look online for postings on the TPWD Facebook page: www.facebook.com/texasparksandwildlife. Read more in the mid-week 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.
