HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: Bowie sweeps another foe

In years past, the Bowie High School volleyball team might have let a team like Jacksboro hang around – and give them hope for an upset.
That hasn’t been the case during the District 3A-8 slate in 2016 as the Lady Rabbits swept the Tigerettes by three sets on Saturday afternoon.
Bowie won by scores of 25-8, 25-18, 25-12 – the third set punctuated by the dominating serving run from Karlyn Dean.
The Lady Rabbits moved to 19-11, 4-1 in the district as the first half of the rotation winds down this week with Bowie home for Henrietta on Tuesday and then on the road at Nocona on Friday.
“I think we are more confident in our ability,” said Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark.
Stark said Bowie is better able to withstand opponent’s runs, and the Lady Rabbits are keeping them to a bare minimum.
Dean stole the show in the third set – keeping Jacksboro off kilter with a flat, hard serve. Read more in the Sept. 28 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.
