3A girls basketball all-district list released
The all-district lists for both Bowie and Nocona girl’s basketball teams were released last week now that all teams are out of the playoffs.
With the Lady Indians finishing first and the Lady Rabbits finishing third in the district standings, both were well represented in the selections.
Nocona point guard Megyn Meekins was named the district’s most valuable player as she led the Lady Indians in both points and assists as only a freshman.
For Bowie, both of its two leading guards earned district superlative honors.
Taygon Jones was named the district’s defensive MVP while Maddie Mandela was named the district offensive MVP.
For Nocona, the rest of its starting lineup was named to the district’s first team. Karlee Brown, Stephany Gutierrez, Raylee Sparkman and Skyler Smith all contributed something different in the team first approach to how the team scored this season.
Second team selections went to the Lady Rabbit’s starting wing Addie Farris and Lady Indian Sydnee Mowry who was the first player off the bench.
Honorable mention selections from Bowie went to starting post players Macon Chambers and Landrie Preuninger as well as valuable bench players Neely Price and Ziba Robbins.

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.
