Bowie High School senior running back Brandon Hutto was named offensive most valuable player in District 4-3A-I.
The honors were released on Saturday, one day after Wall defeated Brock in the Conference 3A Division I Region I final. The Hawks snapped the Eagles’ 29-game winning streak.
“Brandon’s one of the toughest kids I have coached,” Bowie head coach Dylan Stark said. “He knows the game well, and he took a beating for us.”
Stark said what set Hutto apart from others is his vision, easily seeing the best lane to run.
Hutto finished the season with 1,461 yards and 19 touchdowns. He competed in 40 varsity games in high school, including several playoff games.
There were other Bowie players enjoying first-team accolades on offense, including linemen Hunter Kirkham and Isaac Landaverde.
Gage Posey was a second-team running back while Erik Delao achieved second-team offensive lineman, and Matthew Wallace was second-team wide receiver.
The Jackrabbits were a better defensive team this season, and several players earned first-team honors. Read more, and see the complete first-team honor roll, in the Dec. 7 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.
