HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL POLLING: Bowie girls rise, now 13th
The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team is up to 13th spot in the latest Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Conference 3A poll.
The Lady Rabbits are 22-5 overall and a perfect 9-0 in District 3A-9.
Bowie has won all of its district games by double-digit points.
Sunnyvale is the leader in 3A girls, with a 25-2 record. Shallowater is second at 21-1.
Among local boys’, Bellevue remained in 17th position in Conference 1A. The Eagles are standing at 18-7 overall.
Like the Bowie girls, the Bellevue boys have yet to lose a district game as the team is 7-0 in 1A-21 action.
This was a good week for Bellevue with a win over Gold-Burg and a 66-60 triumph over Slidell this past Friday.
In Conference 6A girls, Cypress Woods (23-1) still leads with North Shore, also in the Houston area, at No. 2. 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.
