For the Bowie High School girls’ basketball team to entertain visions of San Antonio, Courtney Brady and River Romine will need to deliver.
In a Conference 3A bi-district game at Denton High School, Brady and Romine both tallied 15 points as the Lady Rabbits downed Whitesboro 50-42.
“The more we score the more we help the team,” said Romine, who will play for Fort Lewis State in Colorado next year.
Brady said it was simply a matter of working the ball around for a good shot.
“I think in the first half we were forcing shots,” said Brady, headed to Southeastern Oklahoma State for the 2016-17 campaign. “We were able to get the shots we wanted in the second half. We knew we had to work the ball around more.” Read more, and see the complete box score, in the Feb. 17 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.
