SPRING SPORTS SCRIMMAGES: Bowie baseball rallies, tops MW
The Bowie High School baseball team participated in its first scrimmage of the season on Monday, and the team earned a come-from-behind 12-10 win.
The Jackrabbits scored eight runs in the sixth inning. Earlier in the game, Mineral Wells had a nine-run third.
Baseball coach Ryan Rogers said the main point of the scrimmage was for all the players to get some work in.
Connor Koks was a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBIs. Kamry Weber went 2-for-3, with a pair of RBIs. Barrett Brooks plated three runs and Northeast Texas Community College signee Chandler Dean scored twice.

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.
