Bowie High School volleyball coach Jeanie Stark said possibly the Lady Rabbits’ flat performance versus Jacksboro was simply a case of looking ahead.
See, today, Bowie takes on Henrietta and the Lady Rabbits and Lady Bearcats are vying for second place in District 3A-8.
Finishing second in the district is of paramount importance because it helps with overall playoff positioning.
“I don’t think we played that well,” Stark said. “We were a little flat. We had some moments that were good.”
In the end on Tuesday, Bowie swept Jacksboro by scores of 25-20, 25-14, 25-15, and improved to 24-13 and 9-3 in 3A-8. However, the Lady Rabbits need to play more crisply today.
Stark complimented Jacksboro on playing Bowie tougher during the second round of the district rotation. Read more, and see district standings, in the Oct. 22 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.
