The Gold-Burg High School volleyball team appeared to be ready for the fight needed to win their first district win of the season during the first set against Valley View on Tuesday night.
The Lady Bears came out strong, pulling ahead of the Lady Eagles on several occasions, but ultimately struggled to close a winning set.
“We started out great, we had the right game plan and the right defense in place,” said Head Coach Cheryl Cromleigh. “Then one of their players got on a serving streak and we didn’t return the serve well. We couldn’t get back in.”
Valley View, in fifth place in District 2A-10 standings when the week began, defeated the home team by scores of 25-18, 25-11 and 25-14.
“We played well and our defense was over the top, we just had issues returning the serve,” said Cromleigh. “But Valley View is a big 2A school and I’m pleased with how with how hard the girls played.” Read more in the Oct. 1 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.
