Bowie High School girls’ golfer Chloe Polk grew by leaps and bounds during the 2015 season.
Those improvements were put on display at the Conference 3A Region 2 meet on Monday and Tuesday at Peach Tree Golf Course in Bullard.
Polk was in eighth spot after the opening day of competition on April 13 with a 90; and that’s the position remained as she fired a second-day 100 for a composite score of 190.
“Chloe played her best golf of the season at the regional tournament,” Bowie head golf coach Jonathon Horton, “and she did it in difficult conditions both days.”
Horton reported the golf course had standing water from tee to green due to last weekend’s torrential rains. Tuesday’s play featured fog and drizzle.
“For her to shoot her two lowest rounds of the year, in difficult conditions, makes me extremely proud of her,” Horton added.
The entire Nocona girls’ golf team qualified for the regional, and finished among the top 10. The Lady Indians finished with 835 strokes, six behind Glen Rose, but tied with Hughes Springs.
“I thought the girls performed very well at the regional tournament considering the weather conditions,” Nocona head coach Bradley McGann.

Two Montague County girls’ golfers finished among the top-20 at the Conference 1A Region 3 tournament which took place at Legends Golf Club and Resort.
Saint Jo’s Sarah Patrick recorded a two-day total of 245, which included a second-day improvement of 120, for sole possession of 13th. Read more, and see complete 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.
