The Forestburg High School volleyball team provided Montague County with its deepest run in the postseason.
The Lady Horns swept Bryson 25-22, 25-19, 25-12 at Chico High School in mid-November, and advanced to the Conference 1A regional semifinals before falling to Kopperl in San Angelo.
The Bowie volleyball team defeated Nocona during a play-in match at Henrietta for fourth place in District 3A-9 and a spot on the postseason dance card.
Bowie, Nocona and Forestburg all finished the 2015 season with at least 20 wins. Saint Jo also qualified for the playoffs, and pushed Graford to five sets before falling.
Overall, the Lady Rabbits were 25-16, Lady Indians 24-15 and Lady Horns 20-16.
“I got to know the girls as the season went on, and we jelled as a team,” said first-year Forestburg head coach Cori Hayes, whose sister, Rashonda, played for the Lady Horns more than a decade ago. Read more in The Bowie News.

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.
