HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Bowie girls move into poll
The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team, after a pair of wins over Tenaha, moved into 20th spot in the latest Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Conference 3A polling.
Bowie is between Sunnyvale and Winnsboro.
Canadian (9-2) is first with Wall second, Tuscola Jim Ned third, Brock fourth and Little River Academy fifth. Shallowater is 11th overall.
Dodd City (7-0) remains in front in the TABC Conference 1A girls poll with Nazareth second, McLean third, Nueces Canyon fourth and McMullen County fifth.
Other regional teams of note ranked are: Huckabay in eighth, Lipan 13th, Eula 14th and Slidell 24th. Slidell plays in District 1A-21.
Claude is No. 1 in Conference 2A with an unblemished record of 10-0, with Tenaha now second, Falls City third, Bells fourth and LaPoynor fifth. See more polling in the Dec. 7 Bowie News.
Henslee Ogle was tournament most valuable player while Addy Cook and Kamryn Cantwell were on the all-tournament team at the H.D. Howard Classic in Lipan. All three girls have helped Bowie move into the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches’ Conference 3A top-25 poll at No. 20.
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.
