HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Tourneys start Tuesday
The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team will be competing in the Fidelity Communications Classic beginning Dec. 27.
Hallsville is a suburb of Longview, so it’s not exactly just down the street.
The Lady Rabbits will play Mount Pleasant in Gym No. 1 at 1:30 p.m., and then will square off against Palestine in the coliseum at 6 p.m.
Tournament play will continue on Dec. 28, and Bowie has games versus Greenville and Spring Hill. The Lady Rabbits play Daingerfield on Dec. 29.
The Windthorst Tournament begins on Dec. 27, but neither the Nocona boys or Bellevue boys and girls play until Dec. 28.
The Gold-Burg girls’ will play one game at the Bryson Tournament on Dec. 27. The Lady Bears will play Bryson at 9:30 a.m., and then versus City View at 12:30 p.m.
The Gold-Burg boys were originally slated to compete in the Bryson Tournament; however, head coach Michael Ball opted for the Bryan Mewbourn Tournament at Martin’s Mill last week instead.
The Bryson Tournament will feature a rolling schedule with a 10-minute warm-up.
All other tournaments won’t start until Dec. 28. Read more 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.
