In the boys’ game, Bellevue looked sharp throughout the game and the 18th-ranked Conference 1A team in the state handled Tioga.
“We played pretty well defensively; we caused a lot of problems for probably the most athletic team in the district,” said boys coach Colby Broussard.
The Eagles defense held their opponent to single digit scoring in all four quarters; the most allowed was a nine-point effort in the fourth quarter.
Bellevue’s offense was dynamic, scoring 25 points in the second quarter and 24 more in the third to seize control of the game.
Broc Terry played a great game for Bellevue, leading the way with 30 points, six rebounds and five steals. Jakob Watkins recorded 17 points, six rebounds and three steals. Emilio Mendoza added 13 points.

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.
