Bowie High School’s boys’ golf team opened the 2015 season in tough conditions with the Jackrabbit Invitational on Tuesday at Twisted Oaks Golf Club.
Bowie head coach Jonathon Horton organized two teams, and Sam Cole earned the lowest score for the Jackrabbits with an even 100.
“The boys played well through a wet course,” Horton said.
Horton acknowledges Bowie is rebuilding its boys’ golf program.
“We are a young team, with no seniors, and we will use this as a baseline for improvement.”
Horton said look for the team to make strides now with the help of Twisted Oaks PGA professional Ron Moxom.
Paradise was head and shoulders better than any other team out there, carding a composite score of 316.
The Panthers’ Colton Horton was the low scorer at 75, two strokes better than teammate Colton Wells. Seymour’s Emlyn Snyder rounded out the top-3 at 78. Read more, and see all the scores in the weekend 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.
