The Bowie High School volleyball team knocked off the City View Lady Mustangs in their last game before facing Boyd, the undefeated district leader.
The Lady Rabbits defeated the visiting team by scores of 25-8, 25-19 and 25-16.
“I felt like we started fast in the first set- only allowing City View to score eight- then in the second and third set we seemed to lose some intensity and we allowed them to score 19 and 16,” said Head Coach Jeanie Stark. “It was a win and that’s the most important result.”
Overall, Bowie recorded a 95.9 serving percentage with seven aces, a skill that has improved throughout the season and should prove an advantage to the Lady Rabbits as they attempted to become the first team to beat Boyd last night.
“Ours serving has strengthened the past few weeks, 10 aces versus Nocona and seven verses City View. There’s only been one district match that we
haven’t served 95 percent or better as a team. Also, we are blocking better,” said Stark. Read more in the Oct. 8 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.
