The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team has played a variety paces this season.
Sometimes they’ve been deliberate, as in the District 3A-9 opening win at Holliday. Sometimes they’ve been frenzied, as in a recent victory at Jacksboro.
Bowie used a mix of styles in a comfortable 53-22 victory over Boyd on Tuesday – in what was expected to be a more competitive game.
“Boyd played Nocona tough, so we thought it was going to be challenging,” Bowie head coach Doug Boxell said.
Boxell said now is the time to spread the floor and practice playing a deliberate game so the Jackrabbits will be more prepared for the postseason.
He admitted a team must be careful when spreading the floor to run an offense because shooters could get “out of rhythm.” 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.
