Bowie’s boys played City View on Tuesday, and the Jackrabbits were able to clinch a playoff spot from District 3A-9 in convincing fashion, topping the Mustangs 61-26.
“Well we didn’t start out as I would have hoped,” said boys coach Doug Boxell. “But, they got better after that.”
Bowie assumed control of the game in the first quarter, grabbing an 18-11 lead. However, the second quarter was even better.
The Jackrabbits held City View to one point in the second frame, and that catapulted them to the win.
Three players reached double digit scoring for Bowie in this game.
Jeffery Howard led the way with 15 points, adding six rebounds, three steals and an assist. Cooper Cantwell recorded 11 points with four rebounds, three assists and five steals. Chase Hall added 10 points with 10 rebounds, two assists and five steals.

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.
