HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: Tioga sweeps lifeless Forestburg

The thinking was moving the Forestburg High School volleyball team’s District 2A-10 match to Saturday would help the Lady Horns.
However, it proved to be the opposite as Tioga efficiently dispatched Forestburg in three games by scores of 25-12, 25-16, 25-12.
The Lady Horns had no answer for Tioga junior middle blocker Andrea Perez, who controlled the front line virtually all by her lonesome.
“We just weren’t into the game,” said Forestburg head coach Cori Hayes. “The girls came in overconfident and then collapsed after they realized they weren’t mentally ready for a tough opponent.”
Forestburg dropped to 19-9 overall and 5-2 in 2A-10. The Lady Horns began the second half of district play on Tuesday with county rival Gold-Burg.
“(Andrea) Tioga had one girl that really hurt us, and we have to figure out a way to get her out of the game,” Hayes added.
Tioga rolled to big leads in every set and pretty much coasted to victory. Read more, and see district 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.
