3A-9 VOLLEYBALL ROUNDUP: Another tough loss for Bowie
The Bowie High School volleyball team suffered its second straight five-set loss to Boyd in District 3A-9 action this past Friday evening.
Unlike the first time the Lady Rabbits and Lady Jackets played, Boyd won the first two sets and then Bowie took the next pair.
But, in the end, Boyd knocked off Bowie by scores of 25-15, 25-15, 19-25, 18-25, 15-13.
With the loss, Bowie dropped to 18-17 overall and 3-6 overall. The Jackrabbits played at Jacksboro on Tuesday evening.
If the Lady Rabbits want to play in the postseason, they must exhibit a sense of urgency now. That’s because they are three games behind Paradise for the final spot, and must leapfrog Holliday to get there.
Bowie didn’t spend much time on offense, rather playing a defensive match with 100 digs and 16 solo ace blocks. Read more, including details on the Nocona-Jacksboro match from this past Friday, in the mid-week 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.
