Bowie High School athletic director Dylan Stark decided to stay in-house, naming Glen Dunnam as the head baseball coach.
Dunnam had served as the Jackrabbits’ top assistant coach the past two seasons under Ryan Rogers, who accepted a job as assistant baseball coach at Conference 6A Lake Travis about a month ago.
Stark said familiarity sold him on Dunnam, who had been the head baseball coach in Bowie for a two-year stint earlier this decade (2012 and 2013 seasons).
“He loves the sport of baseball, and he’s great with the kids,” Stark said. “I think it’s a good fit. I think the kids will respond to him.”
Stark reported he received about 15 applications for the head baseball coaching vacancy.
In addition, Bowie has rounded out its staff as Stark reported the hiring of Frisco Independence assistant coach Josh Harden as a new assistant. Josh Kreger remains on staff as head JV coach.
Dunnam said, from a position standpoint, there won’t be any changes. He will continue working with the pitchers, Kreger outfielders and Harden is set to coach infielders. Read more in the July 5 Bowie News.

Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.

Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.

“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”

Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Nocona came into game two of its Class 2A Division I bi-district series with Archer City looking to rebound from a 17-0 loss in game one.

The Lady Indians took a quick lead but the Lady ‘Cats had too much in the tank and knocked Nocona out of the playoffs courtesy of a 13-3, five-inning victory winning the best of three series, 2-0.

Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.

Archer City prevented further damage by retiring the next two hitters. The Lady ‘Cats struck in the bottom of the inning for seven runs.

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.

Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.

After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.

Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
