HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Those rolling Rabbits, girls win big

The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team went undefeated in district play last season.
It looks like the Lady Rabbits – currently ranked 16th in the latest Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Conference 3A girls’ poll – could very well pull off the same feat again this year in District 3A-9.
Especially after watching Bowie throttle Holliday 63-26 on Saturday afternoon at BHS gymnasium.
“The girls played fine,” said girls’ basketball coach Colby Davis-Pastusek. “The offense shot the ball well and the defense did a good job again.”
Not much different could be said of Bowie, who looked sharp once again.
The Lady Rabbits typically stifling defense held Holliday to single-digit scoring in each quarter while the offense scored rather easily.
The Lady Rabbits improved to 16-5 overall, 3-0 in 3A-9.
Courtney Brady led the team with 19 points along with three rebounds, three assists and four steals. Brady canned a game-best four 3-pointers.

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.
