The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team withstood a furious Henrietta fourth-quarter charge for a 52-43 District 3A-9 victory on Friday.
As a result, the Jackrabbits solidified themselves as the leader in the race for the district championship. Bowie improved to 15-10, with three straight wins, and 6-1 in 3A-9.
Jeffery Howard paced all scorers with 23 points, including 9-for-20 field goals, and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line.
“Jeffery played with a lot of energy, especially early,” Bowie head coach Doug Boxell said.
Boxell said Howard mixed up his game well, which included plenty of dribble drives to the basket for layups. Jeffery made 8-of-14 2-point shots. Read more in the Jan. 27 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.
