HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Giveaway sale

For whatever reason, the Breckenridge High School football team brings out ugly play from Bowie.
This happens time in and time again, like this past Friday as Bowie had four turnovers – including a fumble that went 60 yards for a return touchdown – as the Jackrabbits lost to the Buckaroos 26-14 in District 4-3A-I action Friday at home.
“We didn’t play a clean game,” Bowie head coach Dylan Stark admitted. “We turned the ball over too much. It wasn’t our night, and we made things tougher on ourselves.”
Breckenridge continues to find a way to beat Bowie, which hasn’t beaten the Buckaroos since the 2010 campaign.
The Jackrabbits (3-4, 1-1) missed a golden opportunity to put themselves in playoff position. Now, the final three games will be a scramble.
And now Bowie is staring at Conference 3A Division I No. 1 Brock on Friday in what’s sure to be a major road test.
The Eagles are coming off a 36-6 victory over Paradise last Friday, and Stark knows this game will be a stern test.
“We’re ready for a challenge,” Stark said. “I think we can play against anybody. We’re going to have to play hard and play physical.”
Brock runs a multiple offense – running everything from the wishbone to the spread – while the Eagles use a special aggressive attacking defense. Read more, and see complete statistics and area football standings, in the Oct. 19 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.
