Last year, Bowie High School traveled to Memorial Stadium in Wichita Falls for its season-opener against Hirschi.
This year, Hirschi will play here at Jackrabbit Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 28.
The schedule for 2015 is essentially the reverse last year’s with home games against Hirschi, Henrietta, Boyd, Breckenridge and Ponder.
“A lot of our 50-50 games were on the road last year,” Bowie head football coach Dylan Stark said. “That’s the main thing. The schedule is better for us because we have three of five district games at home.”
The strength and conditioning program will run through July, and the first University Interscholastic League-allowed practice date is Aug. 3. The first practice with pads on is set for Aug. 7. The following day on Aug. 8, “Meet the Rabbits,” will take place. Read more 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.
