Blake Allen, both Gold-Burg students fishing for the club, Captain Weldon Duff; Ian Ashley and Hunter Pullen, Captain Ross Hodges; and the newest team, Christian Sanchez and Carson Morris, Captain Trace Morris.
This year Bowie’s team will be fishing in the north division opening on Lake Ray Roberts at the marina. Teams then travel to Lake Lewisville on Oct. 28; Lake Texoma on Dec. 2; Lake Ray Hubbard on Feb. 10; and Ray Roberts on March 10.
Regionals will be on Lake Lewisville on April 14 with the Texas High School Bass Association state championship May 19-20 on Lake Sam Rayburn.

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.
