For the Bellevue High School girls’ basketball team, it was an ambush.
Huckabay had a 22-7 lead at the end of one quarter and Bellevue didn’t have an answer for it as the Indians defeated the Eagles 54-34 in a non-district game this past Friday.
“We got shell-shocked there,” said first-year head coach Bryan Goehring. “It was their intensity. They jumped on us and rode out the first quarter.”
Goehring thought Bellevue’s girls did a better job against Huckabay in the second half.
That much is true. Bellevue outscored Huckabay 17-15 during such time. But, by then, it was certainly too little, too late.
“Huckabay was aggressive,” Goehring said. “They were quicker to the ball, and they had more team speed from us.” Read more and see the complete box score in the mid-week Bowie News.

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.
