HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Miller Grove runs past Bellevue boys
The Miller Grove High School boys’ basketball team established a 23-6 lead by the end of one quarter.
It proved to be too much of a task for Bellevue to come back as Miller Grove defeated the Eagles 66-51 in a Conference 1A regional quarterfinal on Tuesday at McKinney North High School.
“They went out fast and hard on us,” Bellevue head coach Colby Broussard said. “That made it tough for us to catch up.”
Broussard said Miller Grove shot the ball and moved it around crisply on offense to set up its scoring.
Miller Grove maintained pretty much a double-digit lead throughout the rest of the contest.
The Eagles attempted to press in the second half, but had trouble with that because players were in foul trouble.
Bellevue finished the game with all five of its seniors on the court – Jeremiah Cobbs, Emilio Mendoza, Kyle Waller, Colin Kollman and Broc Terry.
“We didn’t play well, and that’s why we’re at home,” Broussard added.
Bellevue completed the 2014-15 campaign with a 26-9 record.

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.
