HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Greyhounds paw Panthers
The Saint Jo High School football team has proven it can move the ball this season.
However, the Panthers haven’t quite been able to cash in and score, and that was a focal point in Friday’s 51-6 loss to Throckmorton.
Preston Lyons caught a 13-yard pass from Blake Anderson for a TD in the first quarter, and that’s all the offense Saint Jo had to show for in the game.
Saint Jo dropped to 1-5 on the season heading into its bye week. That gives the Panthers two weeks to prepare for District 12-1A-I and Montague County rival Forestburg.
“The bye came for us at a good time,” said Saint Jo head coach Chad Tallon, who admits the Panthers have been struggling.
Scoring has certainly been a bone of contention.
“We got a lot of yards, but we can’t get in the end zone,” said Tallon. “We were inside the 15-yard line five times, and we dropped a touchdown. It’s something we work on in practice. We have to be able to finish drives.” Read more, and see updated football standings, in the Oct. 5 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.
