The Longhorns played a good first quarter, but Bellevue was simply too much en route to a 75-43 District 1A-21 victory at Forestburg on Friday.
“I thought they did pretty well,” said Bellevue coach Colby Broussard of his team. “They got into some foul trouble early, but they buckled down and did a good job.”
Forestburg head coach Steve Sandusky wasn’t happy with the Longhorn defense.
“It was one of our better defensive starts,” Sandusky said. “But, they shot too well and we did not rebound well enough on their misses.”
The closest margin Forestburg managed at the end of a quarter was a six-point deficit after the first.
Bellevue outscored them by eight in the second, 11 in the third and seven in the fourth.
“We have got to improve on shooting and rebounding, period,” Sandusky stressed. “We saw some good things offensively, but are still not shooting well.”
Layne Morris led Bellevue to the win with 24 points.

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.
