The Bowie Lady Rabbits continued district play Tuesday, hosting the Lady Panthers of Paradise.
The 16th-ranked Lady Rabbits looked uncharacteristically off their game, but still managed a 57-46 win to improve to 4-0 in district play and 17-5 overall.
“I wasn’t very pleased with the start,” said coach Colby Davis-Pastusek. “We executed the gameplan poorly.”
Entering the second quarter of play, Paradise actually had a slim 11-10 lead.
However the Lady Rabbits outscored their opponents 19-8 to take a 29-19 lead to the half.
Davis didn’t mention any special plans, and she said the Lady Rabbits prepared for Paradise as they would any other team. She complimented the Lady Panthers on their guard play, which helped them compete versus Bowie.
Courtney Brady led the team with 16 points along with four rebounds, two steals and an assist. Jordan Brightwell recorded 14 points with 15 rebounds, two steals, a block and an assist.
Logan McMurray and Kamryn Cantwell tallied 10 points. McMurray added five rebounds, three blocks, two steals and four assists.

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.
