The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team settled for fourth place at its own tournament on Saturday afternoon.
Petrolia’s Blaine Long caught a hot-shooting hand in the second quarter and the Pirate finished with 34 points in a 58-50 victory over Bowie.
“It doesn’t matter if we are 7-0 or 5-2, we’re still the same team,” said Bowie head coach Doug Boxell. “We’re still not where we need to be.”
Long finished with eight 3-pointers; and he was named to the all-tournament team.
Daniel Mosley was Bowie’s lone representative on the all-tourney ballot, and he netted 12 points versus Petrolia.
Justin Franklin was the Jackrabbits’ leading scorer with 19 points, and he dished off four assists. Gary Mosley was next with 14 points. Daniel Mosley also grabbed six rebounds.
Boxell said Bowie didn’t perform well in two critical areas: Boxing out for rebounds and putting Daniel Mosley in better position to score more points. Read more, and see the complete box score and Saturday’s tournament final scores, in the Dec. 7 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.
