A win over the Nocona Lady Indians’ on Tuesday night moved the Bowie High School girls’ basketball team to the top of the District 3A-8 slate with a 3-0 record.
The Lady Rabbits are now tied with Jacksboro for the top spot. A strong start in the game gave Bowie the advantage as they came away with the 77-36 victory.
“We were able to get off to an early good start, which allowed us to build a strong lead in the first half,” explained Bowie head coach Chuck Hall.
Kamryn Cantwell was the leading scorer for Bowie with 29 points, including three 3-pointers and five steals, while Addy Cook contributed 23 points and four steals.
Hope Howard added 13 points and nine rebounds, while Hall explained Madison Hill did a great job of moving the ball.
“We are really trying to emphasize the post needs to score and Howard and Hill have worked hard to establish themselves. We also have done a better job of getting them ball to them with a chance to score,” explained Hall.
The coach explained Howard also has drawn fouls and done a good job of sinking her free throws, earning the Lady Rabbits extra points. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the Dec. 24 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.
