Forestburg High School head girls’ basketball coach Rosana Barbosa said the Lady Horns have a specific goal in mind this season.
What’s that goal? Why, make the playoffs.
It’s a case of so-far-so-good for Forestburg, which rolled to its third district victory of the season with a 57-19 drubbing of Midway in 1A-21 action on Monday.
“It was a good game for us,” Barbosa said. “We are winning district games.”
Forestburg is now 11-7, 3-0 in 1A-21. Midway dropped to 2-12, 0-3.
For the Lady Horns, points were directly attributed to success rebounding and on defense.
Forestburg’s Alexia Britain and Kendall Wallace combined for 26 rebounds; both had 13 caroms apiece. The Lady Horns also had 24 steals.
Makayla Mason was the Lady Horns’ leading scorer with 17 points, including 3-of-5 from beyond the free-throw stripe. Virginia Cody supported the scoring effort with 10 points, which included a pair of 3-point goals – one in the first quarter and another in the third salvo.

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.
