LOCAL: Bowie football players take charter to game
The Bowie High School Athletic Boosters voted to purchase a motor coach for use by the football team for Thursday’s football game at Snyder.
The vote, which took place during Monday’s meeting in the BHS cafeteria, was not unanimously accepted. The lone dissenting vote was made by booster club vice president Keith Weber.
The trip to Snyder covers more than 200 miles. There was concern this may set a precedent to give all sports charters for extended playoff trips, and there will be a vote to change existing bylaws concerning travel.
The school purchased a coach through Xpress Charters, through Agape Tours of Wichita Falls.
“I was able to negotiate a better price with them, and they are the closest company, which fits my desire to buy local,” said booster club president Craig Stallcup in an email to The Bowie News.
The price for the charter was $1,876.
There were several other purchases made during the meeting, including $520 for nameplates for the football coaches and players for the first two rounds of the playoffs.
The nameplate features a person’s name, level of postseason game, and where the contest took place.
