HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Gold-Burg, Saint Jo renew rivalry
A Montague County rivalry game is set for Friday as Gold-Burg travels to Saint Jo in District 12-1A-I action.
“This is the first time in a few years Gold-Burg is a district opponent,” Saint Jo head coach Chad Tallon said. “Anytime it’s an intercounty game, it’s a little different. They play us in every sport every year. It’s a fun game to be a part of.”
Gold-Burg and Saint Jo are both coming off mercy losses.
Hellman scored both TD in the Bears’ loss to Newcastle, with one scoring catch and one scoring rush. Hellman also was Gold-Burg’s leading tackler with eight stops, including six solos.
Tallon expects Gold-Burg to use a spread offense and use the talents of Hellman and Coplin Miller.
Gold-Burg head coach Jay Johnson said Will Hamilton will return to the line-up this week, but Blake Allen – the Bears’ starting quarterback – won’t be available. Allen will be competing in a national skeet shoot event in San Antonio this weekend.
Coplin Miller added 97 receiving yards against Newcastle, and will be relied upon to help the Bears move the football. Read more in the Oct. 26 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.
