HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Peaster hounds Bowie by 17
The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team is still seeking to right the ship.
On Tuesday night, Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Conference 3A No. 6 Peaster downed 3A No. 24 Bowie 64-47 in a non-district road game for the Jackrabbits.
The Jackrabbits have lost three in a row dating back to last weekend’s Decatur Tournament, dropping to 6-7 overall.
It didn’t get any easier on Friday evening as TABC 4A No. 19 Decatur visited Bowie for a game.
Peaster rolled to a 21-8 lead after one quarter of play, and the lead grew to 35-19 by intermission. Bowie only won one quarter, the fourth by a slim 18-17 margin.
Bowie was plagued by foul trouble, with both Spenser Meekins and Gary Mosley fouling out. The Greyhounds finished the game with a 31-11 margin in free-throw attempts. Read more in the Dec. 17 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.
