The 16th-ranked Conference 1A Bellevue boys ambushed Prairie Valley with hot shooting as several Eagles scorched from the floor in a game that amounted to target practice with an orange sphere and hoop.
Bellevue was in full control by the end of one quarter, up 29-4. By halftime, the Eagle lead was 58.
In the second half, Bellevue slowed down the tempo and both the Eagles and Bulldogs scored 14 points apiece during such time.
Broc Terry had seven first-half 3-pointers en route to a 32-point performance.
Layne Morris added a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds. Jakob Watkins was Bellevue’s second-leading scorer with 16 points, and he also dished off six assists and had four steals.
“I thought we came into the game focused,” Belleuve boys’ basketball coach Colby Broussard said. “We were very unselfish (with the basketball). Everything was going our way. We were able to move the ball around and our shots went down.”

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.
