HIGH SCHOOL POLLING: Bowie baseball remains fourth
The Bowie High School baseball team can’t seem to make any headway further than fourth in the latest Conference 3A Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association poll.
Bowie stands 24-1-2, and the Jackrabbits finished the District 3A-9 slate with an unblemished record of 14-0 after flogging Boyd 20-0 in five innings on Friday evening.
Bowie will play Whitesboro in a best-of-3 series beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at Sanger.
The Jackrabbits are rated ninth in the txhighschoolbaseball.com poll.
Central Heights is tops in both the THSBCA and txhighschoolbaseball.com poll, with West second in 3A. Gunter, a possible future opponent for Bowie, is also ranked in the top-10.
Iowa Park is No. 1 and Huffman Hargrave is second in both Conference 4A polls. Iowa Park will play its bi-district series in Bowie later this week. Iowa Park is undefeated this season, and has two ties just like the Jackrabbits. Read more in the mid-week 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.
