BOWIE FOOTBALL: Defense keeps it close
The Bowie High School football team keeps playing competitive games, but the losing streak is now at six straight games.
However, the Jackrabbits fell to 1-7 and 0-3 in district 4-3A-I after a 23-6 loss at Buckaroos Stadium.
“I didn’t feel like they played as good as they had the past couple weeks,” said head coach Dylan Stark. “There were some missed opportunities against a physical team.”
However the defense recorded a few huge stops to keep the score close as Breckenridge entered halftime with a 14-0 lead.
“They definitely had some huge stops,” Stark said. “The defense has been getting better every week.”
But the offense was only able to muster one scoring drive which ended with Trace Hardee finding Chase Hall from 14 yards out in the fourth quarter.
“We took a lot of shots with Chase,” the coach said. “We were able to cash in that time.”
Stark said he was impressed with the Buckaroos defense, noting it was “probably one of the better defenses we’ve seen all year.”

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.
