FISHING: Another rough meet for Bowie
The spring Texas High School Bass Association fishing schedule certainly hasn’t been kind to Bowie.
For a second straight meet, Bowie’s anglers weren’t able to weigh any fish at the Lake Ray Roberts Invitational in Sanger on Saturday.
“When two-thirds of the field do not catch a fish, the conditions are tough,” Bowie Bass Club team coordinator Trent Gillaspia, who also serves as a boat captain, said.
Several Bowie two-person teams tried to catch fish, but to no avail.
The Bowie teams that competed were as follows: Lane Hopson and Hadley Morgan, Brandon McChesney and Stetson Gaines, Spenser Meekins and Jared Stone, Jake Rhyne and Kollin Gillaspia and Mitch Sanders and Kamry Weber.
Ninety-eight teams fished, with a total of 66 fish weighed. The average weight of a fish was 2.81 pounds.
Ross Moncrief and Wyatt Young from Aledo was the top two-person team, weighing 17.21 pounds of fish. The pair caught five fish in all. 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.
