Bowie, Nocona all-district boys teams announced
The Bowie and Nocona boy’s basketball all-district list is out.
State tournament team City View swept most of the superlative awards, but the Jackrabbits and Indians both had several of their players honored in the first and second teams.
Bowie’s Tucker Jones was one of the few non-City View players earning a superlative award, winning co-newcomer of the year for his athletic play off the bench for the Jackrabbits as a sophomore.
Bowie’s top two scoring guards, explosive senior Cade Thompson and crafty junior Brody Armstrong, were named to the district’s first team. Senior post players Riley Blackburn with his post scoring and Drew Weber with his outside shooting were named to the district’s second team.
Honorable mention honors went to the lightning quick starting junior point guard A.J. Whatley and bruising starting senior forward Logan Hutson.
For Nocona, three of its starting backcourt members were named to the first team. Athletic senior point guard Lyndon Fenoglio, sharpshooting senior guard Adam Meekins and sophomore slasher Brady McCasland were all given first team honors.
The tall defensive presence in the post Sam Davis was named to the second team. Tough starting sophomore forward Conley Kleinhans was given honorable mention honors as well as scoring post player Ryder Oswald off the bench.

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.
