Four Bowie youth are members of the Wise Guys 12-under baseball team that recently competed in United States Specialty Sports Association World Series in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex on July 7.
The local players are infielder/pitcher/catcher Brae Ogle, pitcher/first baseman Parker Price, right fielder/pitcher Jon David Cunningham and outfielder Kaidyn Mayhue.
They all will be seventh-graders at Bowie Junior High School.
The Wise Guys also feature players from Boyd and Paradise. The team advanced to the semifinals before bowing to the Indians 10-0, and they lost to the Five Tool Players in the loser’s bracket 5-3. The Wise Guys defeated the Indians, Midwest Elite, Metro Black Sox, Xtreme Baseball and the Dallas Redhawks during the tournament.

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.
