Workman victorious in return to minors
Brandon Workman, a former Bowie High School standout, returned to Triple-A last week and won his start for the Pawtucket PawSox on Friday against Syracuse at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, R.I.
The PawSox are the Triple-A affiliate for the Boston Red Sox.
Workman scatted threw 6-2/3 innings, scattering just three hits while allowing one earned run. Brandon struck out six and walked one.
One of the three hits Workman surrendered was a home run. Still, he managed to lower his minor-league earned-run average to 4.11.
Workman threw 68 strikes in 108 pitches. John Ely recorded a hold and Dalier Hinojosa the save to help Workman earn the win.
Workman has pushed up his innings total to 134-1/3 for the year. It marks the third straight year Brandon has worked more than 130 innings in a season.
In the minors, Workman has worked 61-1/3 innings, giving up 28 earned runs and 61 hits.
He’s struck out 55 and walked 17. He’s allowed 10 home runs overall at the Triple-A level.
Workman may continue pitching for the PawSox since they have qualified for the postseason in the International League (IL) and will face Syracuse today and Thursday.
It’s unclear if the Red Sox will bring up Workman once the IL playoffs are over.

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.
