LOCAL SPORTS: Bowie fishing team returns to water
The Bowie High School bass fishing team returns to the water this weekend with the Lake Lewisville Invitational at 6 a.m. on Saturday.
There are many Bowie teams that have signed up to fish.
Stetson Gaines will pair with Brandon McChesney, and William McChesney will serve as the boat captain.
Kollin Gillaspia and Jake Rhyne will join forces, with BHS bass fishing team coordinator Trent Gillaspia serving as the boat captain.
Other teams are Jared Stone and Spenser Meekins, Hadley Morgan and Lane Hopson and Mitch Sanders and Kamry Weber.
The Jackrabbits are currently third overall in the “School of the Year” standings with 191 points.
Hopson and Morgan have produced an outstanding upstart campaign, and they are currently fourth in the “Two-Person Team of the Year” standings based on the weight of the bass they’ve caught.
The rest of the spring season continues on March 21 at Lake Ray Roberts, then Possum Kingdom Lake in Graham on May 2 and the Texas High School Bass Association regional/state meet is set for Lake Tyler on May 15-17.

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.
