HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL: Jackrabbits hop past No. 6 Peaster on road
The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team had a chance to prove it was among the elite schools in Conference 3A Tuesday at Peaster.
The Jackrabbits did just that as they defeated Peaster, ranked No. 6 in the latest Texas Association of Basketball Coaches 3A poll, in a 60-59 overtime thriller.
Bowie outscored Peaster 9-8 in the extra frame.
For Chase Hall, 13 was a lucky number as he tossed in 13 points to go with 13 rebounds for a double-double.
Cooper Cantwell, Zeke Vaughan and Gary Mosely also scored in double digits.
The Jackrabbits were 11-of-15 from the free-throw line, capping off a strong performance against one of the top programs in this conference.
Bowie returned home for a game on Friday against Iowa Park, the second meeting between the schools this season. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the weekend Bowie News in print and with your electronic subscription.

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.
