LOCAL: BJH runners thank boosters
During the Oct. 17 Bowie Booster Club meeting, the Bowie Junior High boys’ and girls’ cross country teams were introduced.
Coach Diane Weber announced athlete’s names and they all showed their appreciation for the booster club.
The booster club recently okayed the purchase of 50 sets of uniforms for junior high school athletes to use for both cross country and then track and field in the spring.
The boosters announced the pantry is now open and people may stop by to place food and toiletries in the unit.
Booster club treasurer Jessica Gresham and vice president Jill Jones announced decal sales are brisk.
A decal costs $10.
The group is asking for winter sports concession stand coordinators, for both the high school and junior high basketball teams.
The Bowie-Paradise game on Oct. 28 will serve as “Senior Night” as well as “Bowie Junior High night.” Volleyball “Senior Night” is set for Oct. 25, the final District 3A-8 match with Nocona.
BJH students will be admitted free with a special wristband.

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.
