Both the Forestburg High School boys’ and girls’ basketball teams bounced back from losses to Slidell earlier last week with convincing victories over Gold-Burg on Friday.
The girls opened the evening’s events. The Lady Horns had an impressive showing, trouncing Gold-Burg 80-8.
“We had a good game,” said Forestburg coach Rosana Barbosa. “It was nice to have every player on the team play and produce positive results.”
Forestburg’s defense allowed the Lady Bears to score no more than four points in any quarter, while the offense was firing on all cylinders.
“They played strong defense,” Barbosa said. “We were able to stop their plays.”
Meanwhile, it was not a good showing for the Lady Bears. The offense was shut out in the first and only scored one point in the third. The most they mustered was a four-point showing in the second quarter. Only three players scored for Gold-Burg Tuesday.
Chelsie Gerlach led the Lady Bears with three points, adding eight rebounds and a block. Stormey Edwards recorded two points with two rebounds and a steal; Megan Edwards added one point with two rebounds. 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.
