The Bowie Athletic Boosters met on Monday, continuing preparing for the forthcoming event “Meet the Rabbits.”
“Meet the Rabbits” is set for 8 p.m. on Aug. 10, as the booster club opted to shift introduction night from a Saturday evening to the Thursday evening before the first full-contact football practice.
Tiny Garrett will have his food truck set up from 7:30 to 11 p.m. Garrett will be selling his traditional barbecue fare.
Featured games will be tug-of-war, musical chairs and the tic-tac-toe relay. There also will be the traditional powder puff 7-on-7 football games, including the championship clash between the top-two classes.
Ice cream and snacks will be for sale in the concession stand. New booster club T-shirts will be available that night.
People will need to sign up again for booster membership this year. The cost is $10, and includes a T-shirt and being placed on the club’s mailing list. The theme this year is, “Strength in Numbers.”
Jason Seymour has agreed to play music and serve as master of ceremonies. The Mighty Marching Maroon also is scheduled for a performance.
Inflatable
The Bowie Booster Club is continuing its work on making the transportation of the new inflatable run-through Rabbit a more comfortable experience for everyone.

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.
