7-ON-7 FOOTBALL: Mixed bag for Rabbits
The Bowie High School football team won one game, and lost two others at a 7-on-7 State Qualifying Tournament on Saturday at Wichita Falls.
Bowie defeated First Baptist Academy of Dallas, but suffered losses to Argyle 42-14, and Scurry-Rosser. The score versus Scurry-Rosser couldn’t be verified.
Argyle and Brock were the qualifiers from this tournament to the state Division II tournament, which will take place July 9-10 at Veterans Park and Athletic Complex in College Station.
Bowie will have one more chance to qualify for state when the it competes in the Boyd SQT on June 20.
“I was pleased with the effort,” Bowie head football coach Dylan Stark said. “They looked sharp, and every game was competitive.”
Due to University Interscholastic League rules, Stark and his assistants were unable to coach the team. Rather, Craig Stallcup served as the coach.
“I think we played well, and we had some standout plays,” Stallcup said.
Players dealt with various weather conditions. The opening game versus Scurry-Rosser at Memorial Stadium was wet while games versus First Baptist Academy and Argyle were humid.
In 7-on-7 football, the field is 45 yards long. All offensive plays must be passes. The field is marked at 15-yard intervals with cones, and three first downs without a penalty results in a touchdown. 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.
