HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Bowie’s Brady named all-state in 3A girls
Bowie High School junior Courtney Brady has been named to the Texas Girls Coaches Association Conference 3A all-state team.
Brady was a key cog for a Lady Rabbit basketball team that finished 30-6, went through District 3A-9 undefeated en route to a championship and played in the regional semifinals.
“Courtney had a remarkable season for us,” Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek said. “She puts a lot of time and effort into her passion playing basketball. This honor is very well-deserved and we are so proud of her.”
Brady made 211-of-504 field goals this season, or 42 percent. She canned 78 3-pointers at a 34 percent clip.
From the free-throw line, Brady made good on 137-of-173 shots (79 percent).
Overall, she posted averages of 18.7 points per game to go with 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 steals and 2.5 assists per contest.
Those statistics were as of before the season-ending loss to Alba-Golden at Rockwall Heath High School.

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.
