HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Bowie rallies for win over Brock
The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team ended the 59th Annual Whataburger Tournament with a bang.
The Jackrabbits rallied from a 14-point deficit for a 58-54 victory over Brock in the consolation bracket.
“It was a big win for us,” Bowie head coach Doug Boxell said. “Brock has beaten us the last few years. From a mental standpoint, it was big to come back in the fourth quarter, and win a ball game like that.”
Boxell said Bowie employed a half-court trapping defense and was able to draw a couple of charging calls during that fourth-quarter rally.
Bowie was able to attack the basket, and draw Brock into committing fouls. The Jackrabbits finished the game going 21-of-27 from the free-throw line (78 percent). Read more, and see complete box scores, in the Jan. 4 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.
