Bowie High School’s Zeke Vaughan, Cheyenne Banks from Forestburg, and Sarah Patrick from Saint Jo will serve as team captains on the All-Montague County track and field team.
All athletes who make it to the University Interscholastic League state meet in Austin will automatically become captains on the team.
Vaughan is a hurdler and jumper, and he can be placed into various relays.
Patrick competed in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, 800-meter run and two relays, but her calling card event was the pole vault.
Banks has become one of the best throwers in the region, qualifying for state this year in the shot put.
The remaining athletes on The Bowie News All-Montague Country team are those who qualified for the regional meets, Conference 3A down in Whitehouse and Conference 1A in Stephenville.
Vaughan qualified for state in the high jump, with a leap of 6-feet, 4-inches. He cleared 6-2 at the state meet, finishing sixth to give the Jackrabbits one point on the grand stage.
“It’s an honor for Zeke to be recognized for his success and hard work,” Bowie head boys’ track and field coach Daylon West said. “Zeke will only get better.” Read the weekend Bowie News for more on this story.

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.
