HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Gold-Burg wins two more
Gold-Burg continued its winning ways, and earned a third victory on Monday evening.
The Bears were originally expected to play King’s Academy this Friday. However, King’s has forfeited the game, and won 2-0.
This may actually help the Bears, who now have two weeks to prepare for undefeated Bryson, one of the saltiest six-man programs in the region this season.
Gold-Burg racked up 610 yards in offense in an 80-31 victory over Northside, the game was stopped at the 1:11 mark of the third quarter. The Bears averaged a whopping 13.5 yards per rush.
“We are playing programs similar to us,” Gold-Burg head coach Jay Johnson said. “We’re ecstatic. We put up a lot of points, and played fairly well.”
Northside scored mainly when given a short field from special teams.
Blake Allen was efficient, going 9-of-17 for 174 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. Read more, and see a scoring summary, 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.
