3A-9 VOLLEYBALL: Bowie scores much-needed victory
If the Bowie High School varsity volleyball team wants a shot to make the playoffs, it must begin winning matches now.
On Tuesday, the Lady Rabbits swept City View in District 3A-9 play by scores of 25-20, 25-14, 25-9.
With the win, Bowie improved to 17-15, 2-4, and the Lady Rabbits prevented City View from picking up their first district win.
“We needed a win,” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said. “City View made a run at us in the first set. They kept it close, with a couple of skilled, athletic players.”
Stark said the Lady Rabbits played better in the second and third sets.
“We picked up the tempo more,” Stark said.
Madeline Page contributed two kills and she earned two of the final points during the third set. Stephanie Clement served up the winning ace. Read more in the weekend edition of The Bowie News, and see complete district standings.

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.
