STATE HIGH SCHOOL POLLING: Bowie stays in fourth
Bowie High School baseball remains in fourth place in Conference 3A in the latest Texas High School Baseball Association poll released on May 7.
The Jackrabbits are fresh off sweeping Whitesboro in a best-of-3 Bi-district series by scores of 12-1 in Game One and then 14-7 in Game Two here in Bowie on Friday and Saturday.
Bowie’s record improved to 26-1-2 with the pair of victories, and the Jackrabbits will play Palmer this May 15 and 16 in a best-of-3 Area series at Chisholm Trail High School in Saginaw, a suburb of Fort Worth.
Central Heights (21-1) leads the Conference 3A poll, with West second and Idalou third.
The rest of the 3A poll features Hughes Springs fifth, Banquete sixth, Gunter seventh, Danbury eighth, Jim Ned of Tuscola ninth and Edgewood 10th.
Gunter is a possible third-round match-up should Bowie defeat Palmer this weekend.
Early and Falfurrias also received votes in the poll.
Iowa Park, undefeated this season with a 21-0 mark, is No. 1 in Conference 4A and Huffman Hargrave is second. Argyle is also in the poll, in the sixth spot. Bowie and Iowa Park played a scrimmage against each other in February. 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.
