Just like last year, Bowie, Forestburg and Saint Jo will represent Montague County in the volleyball playoffs.
The Lady Rabbits will take on Millsap in a Conference 3A, Region I bi-district game at 7 p.m. on Monday in Jacksboro.
Saint Jo will play Bryson in a Conference 1A, Region III bi-district game at 7 p.m. on Tuesday here at Bowie High School gymnasium.
Forestburg, second in District 2A-10, will face Newcastle in yet another 1A-Region III bi-district game at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at Perrin-Whitt.
The last time Bowie finished this high in district was 2008 when the Lady Rabbits finished as a district champion.
That squad featured Megan Workman, libero Marlee Evans, Chelsea Kincaid, Rachel Austin, Kayla Edelman, Lacie Penders, Katie Stallcup, Macy Roth, Adrienne Howell and Dakota Crockett.
Yes, that Kincaid who will be coaching Bryson against Saint Jo. The Cowgirls and Lady Panthers met in the bi-district round a year ago with Bryson coming out on top.
“We played against them earlier in the season,” said Saint Jo first-year head coach Charlie Pittman. “We have made lots of changes since we played them (last).” Read more in the Oct. 29 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.
