HIGH SCHOOL FISHING: Tough tourney for Bowie
Conditions were cold at this weekend’s Texas High School Bass Association Tournament at Lake Lewisville.
That made fishing difficult, and as a result, all of Bowie High School’s teams didn’t weigh any fish from the event.
Teams consisting of Jake Rhyne and Kollin Gillaspia, Spenser Meekins and Jared Stone, Lane Hopson and Hadley Morgan and solo fisher Mitch Sanders gave fishing a try on Saturday to no avail.
“The boys froze, but they never stopped fishing,” Bowie team coordinator Trent Gillaspia said on his Facebook page. “Unfortunately, no one from Bowie weighed any fish, and there were very few fish caught by anyone.”
Overall, only 12 of 91 two-man teams weighed any fish. The big bass weight was 7.5 pounds.
Flower Mound won the team title, weighing 15.61 pounds of fish, and Aledo was second at 10.21 pounds.
Aaron Anderson and Devin Bushland from Allen won the meet, catching three fish totaling 8.52 pounds. Solo fisher Brandon Dominguez of Aledo was second, catching two fish at 7.8 pounds. 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.
