HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL: Bowie falls to City View late
Andrea Wilson scored the game-winning run on Brittany Beenherdt’s single in the seventh inning as City View topped Bowie 7-6.
The Lady Mustangs’ win tightens up the race for fourth place in District 3A-9 with the Lady Rabbits at 7-4 and City View just one game back at 6-5.
Bowie (14-13 overall) faced a critical game on Friday at district-leading Paradise, while City View played at Holliday.
Petie Wolsey singled and then scored on Taylor McCarty’s RBI double to give the Lady Rabbits the go-ahead run in the sixth.
But, pitcher Maylie Short couldn’t make it hold up. Short set down the Mustangs in order in the sixth, but then ran into trouble in the seventh as City View prevailed.
In Bowie’s two-run third inning, McCarty hit an RBI groundout to bring home Wolsey. Read more, and see the box score, 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.
