The Saint Jo High School volleyball team was defeated by Bryson in the bi-district round of the Conference 1A, Region III playoffs on Tuesday night at Bowie High School.
The Lady Panthers were outscored 25-22, 25-12, 23-25 and 25-20. The game saw two of Montague County’s former volleyball players in their first year of coaching face off in the playoff match.
Chelsea Kincaid leads the Bryson Cowgirls into the area game of playoffs, a graduate of Bowie High School and a member of the last Lady Rabbit team to win a playoff game in 2008.
Meanwhile, Charlie Hamilton guided the Lady Panthers into their playoff season in her first year of coaching. Hamilton, a graduate of Nocona High School, was a member of the early 2000 state volleyball tournament teams.
Saint Jo was part of the trio representing Montague County in the playoffs that also included Bowie and Forestburg. Read more in the Nov. 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.
