HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Lady Rabbits’ win streak stopped

Of all the ways for Bowie’s winning streak in District 3A-9 girls’ basketball games to end, it was this.
During a scramble for the ball, an official called a foul on Bowie’s Taylor Martin with 0.17 seconds remaining and the Lady Rabbits tied with Boyd at 55-all.
Lady Jacket Lindsey Thorpe went to the line to shoot free throws.
Before Thorpe actually tried her attempts, several rules were misinterpreted.
First, no players were allowed to line up outside the lane for the free throws on what was a standard foul with time left in regulation. Next, Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek wasn’t allowed to call consecutive timeouts as was her right.
Thorpe made the first free throw, giving Boyd the lead, as part of her game-high 31-point performance. She missed the second one, and the ball bounced several times before anyone picked it up because no one was standing along the lane. Read more in the Jan. 23 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.
