OUTDOORS: Fish art contest underway
The 2015 Texas State Fish Art contest is underway and the deadline for submissions is March 31.
The contest is open to public, private and homeschooled students in all grades from kindergarten through senior in high school.
Students must draw or paint any recognized state fish and write an essay about it. Complete contest details and entry forms are available at: www.tpwd.texas.gov/fishart.
The Toyota Texas Bass Classic provides funds for first-, second- and third-place finishers in each of the four grade-level divisions.
First place in grades 10-12 is $1,000, $750 for second and $500 for third. Prizes for K-9 levels are $100 for first place, $75 for second and $50 for third.
Student art then is featured on Toyota Texas Bass Classic printed tickets, which will take place on Lake Fork in May 2015.
The TTBC also provides a travel allowance for Texas first-place winners to attend the national awards ceremony on Aug. 21-22 in Hot Springs, Ark.
The Texas State-Fish Art Contest is part of Wildlife Forever’s State-Fish Art Contest.
Educators who wish to have their students enter the contest can download the free “State Fish Art Contest Lesson Plan” at www.statefishart.com. The curriculum includes species identification profiling each fish, a glossary and worksheets.

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.
