Broc Terry will represent Bellevue High School one last time on July 18 in the Texas Six-Man Coaches Association all-star boys’ basketball game.
The game is set for 2 p.m. at Midwestern State University’s D.L. Ligon Coliseum.
“We’re very excited,” Bellevue head coach Colby Broussard said. “There’s a lot of talent on the team. It’s always big for a small school of our caliber to send someone.”
Terry is the second player to represent Bellevue in the game in as many years. Brandt Cassetty played for the East in the 2014 game, won rather handily by the West 95-68.
Cassetty scored 10 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished off four assists, and Terry aims to replicate that kind of performance.
“It means a lot to me,” Terry said. “I’ve spent a lot of time playing basketball. I’ve worked so hard to be noticed in the first place, so it’s nice to be selected.
Broussard said there are many reasons why Terry was chosen to play in the game.
“Broc is such a well-rounded player,” the coach commented. “He went from newcomer of the year in the district, to district defensive most valuable player to district offensive player of the year and then MVP. He can play a lot of different positions and do different things well.”
Terry was the District 1A-21 MVP during the 2014-15 season, in which the Eagles put together a 26-9 record. 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.
