The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team opened their district season with a win over Montague County rival Nocona by a 68-50 margin.
It was the Nocona Indians who ended the first quarter ahead on the scoreboard 18-15, but things unraveled for the Indians in the second quarter when the Rabbits outscored them by 16 points.
“Nocona is always a rival game and tough, we know they have some good players,” said Bowie head coach Doug Boxell. “But we are happy to get that first district win under our belt.”
Daniel Mosley led the Rabbit offense, sinking 30 points and ending with a whopping 20 rebounds.
“Daniel was a very physical presence for Bowie. He was able to finish shots around the rim,” said Nocona head coach Bret Botard. “He was certainly a great inside force.” 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.
