Daniel Mosley gave the Bowie High School boys’ basketball team a 48-47 lead with 3 minutes, 3 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
That would be the last advantage the Jackrabbits would have during Thursday evening’s boys’ basketball tournament game against Mineral Wells.
Mineral Wells went on a 10-3 run to end the game as the Rams earned a 57-51 victory over the tourney hosts.
“In the fourth quarter, they stole the ball off the dribble on us two or three times,” Bowie head coach Doug Boxell said.
Boxell credited Mineral Wells for having a good team that was constantly working on defense and on the boards.
Bowie was limited 16 rebounds thanks in part of Mineral Wells boxing out well inside on the low block. Read more from this story, and see more tournament scores and the complete box score, in the Dec. 3 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.
