LOCAL: Hoop coordinators chosen
One of the main points of discussion at Monday’s Bowie Booster Club meeting was naming coordinators for winter sports.
Coordinators handle assigning workers to the concession stand for various events, including basketball.
Julie Ogle will serve as the coordinator for high school girls’ basketball and Koni Jones for high school boys.
Mendy Jones has been named coordinator for junior high girls’ basketball and Diane Weber and Mandy Pullen for junior high boys’ basketball.
During the meeting, Bowie head cross country coach Chuck Hall asked the boosters if they had received more entry fees, and if the Rabbit Run on Sept. 28 was a profitable venture.
The boosters said they are still receiving checks.
Baseball coach Ryan Rogers appreciated everyone’s help with the fall baseball tournament which took place last week.
There was a T-shirt drive this past week for playoff volleyball.
Jaimie Hickey, a junior high school volleyball and high school assistant, was presented for “Meet the Coach.” Hickey is a native of Eastland who has worked in the Bowie Independent School District for the past several years.
Like last year, Bowie’s powerlifting team will open the season with a meet at home. The meet has been scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 7, 2017. Bowie also will be the site of a girls’ regional meet later on in the season. Read more in the Oct. 29 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.
