A senior helped swing the momentum, and a freshman put down the winning point.
That’s how things went down as Bowie High School’s volleyball defeated Millsap in four games by scores of 25-17, 25-13, 24-26, 25-22 in the Conference 3A-Region I bi-district round on Monday at Jacksboro.
Bowie’s Mackenzie Tole helped Bowie claw back in the fourth set, which included a needed service run and a powerful kill down the line.
Then with Karlyn Dean serving, freshman Aslyn Davis put down the match-clinching kill as Bowie garnered its first playoff victory since 2008.
“The ball was out of system,” Davis said. “I just wanted to get it over and keep it in play.”
Davis’ kill wasn’t filled with power, but it didn’t need to be against a Millsap team that grew tired late in the fourth set. Read more in the Nov. 2 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.
