The Bowie High School volleyball team found itself down 16-13 in the fourth set of Tuesday’s match against Krum at BHS gymnasium.
Then Taylor Thompson happened.
Thompson’s jump serve keyed a run of eight successive points as the Lady Rabbits eventually prevailed over Krum by scores of 25-23, 25-22, 21-25 and 25-17.
“We were strong in set one and set two, then the intensity level dropped off and legs seemed to get heavy in set three, we were able to regroup and finish the job in four,” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said.
“It is never a good idea to go five sets when you have won the first two – the momentum is too strong from the opponent winning the previous two.”
Stark lauded Thompson’s performance, which included one ace on her jump serve to go with 19 assists and a season-high 10 digs.

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.
