After some time away, Glen Dunnam is returning to coach in the Bowie Independent School District.
Bowie athletic director and football coach Dylan Stark reported Dunnam will be responsible for coaching a position group on offense, and he’ll also serve as an assistant baseball coach.
Dunnam was officially hired back by Bowie ISD during its board meeting on Monday.
“When Glen was on staff, we won a lot games,” Stark said, “and a lot of that was due to Glen’s knowledge of offense.”
Dunnam was an assistant for two years while current Archer City Elementary School principal Josh Castles was head coach, and then two more while Stark was in charge.
During such time, the Jackrabbits compiled a 24-20 record, including a respectable 7-5 record during the 2012 season – which ended with a playoff loss to Callisburg.
“It’s home to me,” Dunnam said. “My boys graduated from high school in Bowie. I grew up in Graham, and spent most of my life in the area. It’s an exciting time for me.”
In addition, Dunnam will serve as a social studies teacher at Bowie Junior High. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.

Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.

Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.

“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”

Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Nocona came into game two of its Class 2A Division I bi-district series with Archer City looking to rebound from a 17-0 loss in game one.

The Lady Indians took a quick lead but the Lady ‘Cats had too much in the tank and knocked Nocona out of the playoffs courtesy of a 13-3, five-inning victory winning the best of three series, 2-0.

Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.

Archer City prevented further damage by retiring the next two hitters. The Lady ‘Cats struck in the bottom of the inning for seven runs.

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.

Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.

After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.

Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
