The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team recorded 21 assists in Friday’s District 3A-9 laugher over Jacksboro.
And everyone contributed in that statistical category.
Chase Hall dished off four assists. Trace Hardee, Keck Jones, Zeke Vaughan and Tilghman Parr all contributed three assists. In all, 10 different players had at least one assist as Bowie throttled Jacksboro 77-39.
“We played good team basketball,” Bowie head coach Doug Boxell said. “We were able to find the open man. The more you pass, and the more you move the ball, the better shot you will get. You enhance your chance to score.”
Bowie players translated those 21 assists into making 29-of-67 field goals (43 percent). The Jackrabbits tossed in 10 3-pointers, paced by Jeffery Howard’s five treys. Read more, and see the box score, in the Feb. 10 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.
