Due to scouting ahead to the postseason for the Lady Rabbits, the girls and boys games against City View were split up over two days.
The Lady Rabbits opened the week’s activities Monday evening.
Bowie had no issues with the Lady Mustangs, earning another district win and fourth straight district title with an 83-19 win.
“The girls played well,” said girls coach Colby Davis-Pastusek. “They did what they needed to do.”
The Lady Rabbits, ranked 13th in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches poll, struggled a bit very early but still had a 21-8 margin at the end of one quarter.
“They missed some early baskets, but we got rolling after that,” said Davis.
Once again, the Lady Rabbits defense held their opponent to single digit scoring in each quarter; the eight scored in the opening quarter was the most allowed.
Four Lady Rabbits reached double digit scoring in the game.
They were led by Courtney Brady, who again outscored the opposing team, scoring 20 points. She added four rebounds, three assists and four 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.
