Henslee Ogle was named H.D. Howard Classic tournament most valuable player as Bowie went on to defeat Tenaha a second time in the championship game 38-32.
“Henslee does so much,” Bowie head coach Chuck Hall said. “She does well with help defense; she handles the ball well, and compliments Addy (Cook) and Kamryn (Cantwell). She deserves the award.”
As Hall noted, “Points aren’t everything.”
Bowie went undefeated at the Lipan tournament, raising their record to 10-1 overall and moving up to 20th in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Conference 3A poll.
The Lady Rabbits topped Keene on Saturday morning 49-38, and defeated Baird 49-41 earlier in the tournament.
Kamryn Cantwell and Addy Cook also were named to the tournament team.
Bowie outscored Tenaha 13-6 in the final quarter to win the championship as Cantwell dropped in 19 points and Cook at 14. Cantwell also contributed six rebounds and two steals. Ogle also had a pair of swipes.

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.
