HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Bowie girls drop to No. 19 in 3A TABC poll
The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team has had a target on them in recent games, and last Tuesday was no exception.
Nocona defeated Bowie 55-53, and that put a dent in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Conference 3A rankings from the Lady Rabbits’ perspective.
Bowie dropped from 10th to 19th overall, despite Friday’s convincing bounce-back victory over Jacksboro. The Lady Rabbits stand at 23-8 overall, 12-1 in District 3A-9.
The team will face Whitesboro in the bi-district round of the Conference 3A playoffs next Monday.
Wall (26-4) stands atop the 3A girls’ poll with Shallowater second. Brock stands fifth, Alba-Golden is eighth and Jim Ned 12th. See more rankings in the Feb. 10 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.
