LOCAL: Boosters make many purchases
The Bowie High School athletic booster club announced several purchases during Monday’s brief meeting in “The Commons.”
First, the boosters will pay for banners representing the individual boys and girls on the varsity basketball teams.
The cost is $300 for a complete set of posters.
The leadership group accepted the purchase of nameplates for the Bowie football team – who competed in the area round versus Littlefield at Sweetwater on Nov. 19.
Powerlifting team co-head coach Quentin Berend put in a request for new gear in the form of squat suits, wraps and more.
The team requested five sets, and the cost is $1,294.60. The measure was approved.
In a related item, it was reported Cynthia Robertson and Melissa Robinson will head up the hospitality room for the powerlifting meet on Jan. 7, 2017. T-shirts are currently in the process of being ordered.
Head baseball coach Ryan Rogers was present to make a request for a mound tarp. The tarp, which comes at a cost of $579, was accepted.
An additional measure concerning the possible purchase of a new batting cage was tabled for more information. Read the Dec. 3 Bowie News for more.

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.
