HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Bowie girls, Bellevue boys up to No. 16 in poll
The Bowie High School girls and the Bellevue High School boys’ basketball teams are both ranked in the latest Texas Association of Basketball Coaches poll.
The Lady Rabbits, fresh off a consolation championship at the 57th Annual Whataburger Tournament, moved up to 16th place in Conference 3A girls.
Bowie has a record of 16-5.
This marks the highest ranking the Lady Rabbits have received this season.
Bowie still has yet to be ranked this season in the Texas Girls Coaches Association poll.
Bellevue is the only boys’ team ranked, at No. 16 in Conference 1A. The Eagles have a 10-6 record, facing many schools from larger classifications.
This is also the best ranking Bellevue has received during the 2014-15 campaign.
Unfortunately, because of several tough losses in a row, the Bowie boys were dropped from the Conference 3A poll after three consecutive weeks in it. Read more in the mid-week 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.
