Forestburg was presented with a tough task Tuesday evening in Forestburg: Trying to maintain their playoff hopes against District 2A-10 foe Lindsay.
The Knights just happen to be one of the favorites to win the Conference 2A state title down in Garland this November, currently ranked fourth in that class by the Texas Girls Coaches Association.
Unfortunately, the task proved too much as the Horns fell in straight sets 25-6, 25-11, 25-10.
Forestburg’s record falls to 19-13 on the season, and 5-5 in 2A-10.
The season hung in the balance Friday night at Tioga, a team Forestburg lost to at home earlier this season. Tioga is also 5-5 in the district.
“We will be playing Tioga and Collinsville for the next two games,” Forestburg head coach Rosana Barbosa said. “These will be two very hard and decisive games for us. I believe if we play hard and determined, we will have a positive result.” Read more from District 2A-10 volleyball in the weekend 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.
