HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Forestburg girls hold off PV
Forestburg head girls’ basketball coach Cori Hayes said the Lady Horns have been able to keep close with opponents through strong defensive play.
“Our defense has been superb so far,” Hayes said. “We’ve found ways to fight back and stay in games because of our defense.”
Forestburg (7-5, 1-2) held Prairie Valley to three points in both the first and third quarters, and the Lady Horns staved off the Lady Bulldogs 17-6 charge in the fourth.
Alexia Britain has shouldered more of the scoring burden since MaKayla Mason has been out with an injury. Britain netted a game-best 15 points while Hope Phipps chipped in with 11 and Cayla Smelser 10.
Brooklynn Messer was Prairie Valley’s lone scorer in double figures with 10. 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.
