The Bowie High School volleyball team had another District 3A-9 opponent right where it wanted on Saturday afternoon.
The Lady Rabbits were up two games to one and had what seemed to be a comfortable lead in the fourth set.
However, Paradise rallied to defeat Bowie by scores of 25-22, 22-25, 13-25, 26-24, 15-9. The loss dropped. The loss dropped the Lady Rabbits to 19-18 overall, 4-7 in 3A-9.
The loss stings more because Bowie will now likely miss the playoffs.
Tuesday’s match versus Nocona will be for Montague County pride, however, as the Lady Rabbits and Lady Indians play for the second time this season.
“We didn’t begin, manage, and most importantly, end the match on Saturday,” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said. “We were able to pick up our game and take sets Nos. 2 and 3, but then couldn’t hold on to a comfortable 17-10 lead (in the fourth set).

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.
