Freshman Sadie Weaver from Gold-Burg earned newcomer of the year and senior teammate Kelly Contreras earned first team honors. Bellevue senior lead guard Austin Ford also broke into the first team selection to break up all of the girls from Midway and Slidell.
The second team was where more of the area players were honored. Prairie Valley had senior post player Emily Carpenter along with sisters Carmen and Makaylee Gomez.
From Forestburg senior guard Faith Moore and freshman Braylee Brile were named to the second team. Saint Jo had Elaina Everson and Kyler Dunn named to the team.

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.
