For Lyndsey Shaw, taking over as the new Gold-Burg High School volleyball coach represents a homecoming.
“I am excited to be close to family,” Shaw said. “My family is in Nocona and my husband’s is in Seymour. It was a location close to home.”
Shaw played her junior and senior seasons at Bowie High under Coach Jeanie Stark. Shaw was an outside hitter, and she was also a standout on the Jackrabbit track and field squad in the pole vault and triple jump.
At Gold-Burg, Shaw reported she will be teaching fifth- through seventh-grade English, plus reading and writing. She could possibly fill a coaching role with girls’ basketball and girls’ track and field squad.
Shaw graduated from Midwestern State in 2008 with a degree in kinesiology and minor in English, and she spent the past few years coaching a various locations throughout Texas.
Most recently, Shaw was the head coach at Clifton, a school district 30 minutes west of Waco. She has also coached at Calallen, Kingsville and nearby Chico.
Shaw said the Bears will be focusing on the fundamentals. For more, read the weekend edition of The 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.
