LOCAL SPORTS: Bad weather continues to hamper area sporting events
Mother Nature continues to be the big winner, as a whole slew of sporting events were moved or cancelled altogether.
On Thursday, Bowie’s baseball team was scheduled to play Mineral Wells and Covenant Christian of Colleyville on Thursday, but both games were cancelled.
Bowie’s baseball tournament was scheduled to resume with games against Peaster at 11:15 a.m. and Decatur at 1:30 p.m.
The Jackrabbits wrap up the baseball tournament today with games against Bridgeport at 1:30 p.m. and Alvarado at 3:45 p.m.
The softball team was also to play host to a tournament this weekend at the BHS Sports Complex.
However, Thursday’s games against Paradise and Petrolia were scrubbed.
On Friday, Bowie played Decatur at noon then Fort Worth Christian at 7:30 p.m. and finally Petrolia at 8:45 p.m. as the tournament resumed. Today, Bowie plays Krum at 9 a.m., followed by Perrin-Whitt at 8:45 p.m.
Games will be played to a 75-minute time limit, but finish the inning currently contested. Run-rules are also in effect.
In a related matter, the Bridgeport JV softball tournament was moved to March 21. See more 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.
