FOOTBALL: Conflict exists at AT&T Stadium
There is a conflict on the schedule this year for the University Interscholastic League championship games.
When the National Football League football schedule was released on Tuesday night, the Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to play the New York Jets at 7:25 p.m. on Dec. 19 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
The Conference 6A Division I and Division II football games are scheduled for the same time at the same location.
Something must give.
The conflict has taken UIL officials by surprise. The UIL has a standing agreement to have games at AT&T Stadium through this season.
Officials at AT&T Stadium have committed to serving as the central site for state championship games for years to come; however, the Cowboys didn’t have any comment on Tuesday evening for the Dallas Morning News.
The NFL is unlikely to move the Cowboys’ game, since it is a national television broadcast on the NFL Network.
The UIL’s flexibility is limited.
The league’s calendar can’t be budged, with the start of practices the opening week of August and the governing body is unwilling to play games on Christmas weekend.
Where could games move?
Options include Apogee Stadium at the University of North Texas in Denton, Amon G. Carter Stadium at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth and Gerald Ford Stadium at Southern Methodist University. Or perhaps the Cotton Bowl. Read 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.
