The Bowie boys’ basketball team suffered a loss to Iowa Park – which including an ineffective third quarter in which the team scored just nine points.
“We had too many turnovers,” said head coach Doug Boxell.
Both teams seemed to have their fair share of turnovers, with the opposing side taking advantage of most of them.
Iowa Park’s offense was more consistent than Bowie’s throughout the game.
“They were moving the ball well,” Boxell said. “They also were shooting and scoring very well.”
Despite the loss, Boxell looked at the positives.
“Sure we’re disappointed with losses,” he said, “but, I still tell them we are way ahead of schedule. We’re better than what was expected of us so far this season.”
Jeffery Howard recorded a big night, scoring 30 points along with five rebounds and an assist.

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.
