Jacksboro was hanging around against the Bowie High School girls’ basketball team on Friday evening.
That was until Henslee Ogle made several 3-pointers late in the second quarter to give the Lady Rabbits some breathing room – en route to an eventual 66-38 victory over the Tigerettes in this District 3A-9 contest.
Ogle’s 3-pointers helped Bowie stay ahead of Jacksboro, and Ogle finished the game going 3-for-4 from beyond the arc.
“She gave us a burst of energy just before halftime,” Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek said. “We were able to find her, and give her the ball.” 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.
