HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL: Bowie opens with split at Brock
The Bowie High School softball program opened the season with a split of games on Thursday at the Brock Tournament.
Bowie (1-1) suffered a 13-8 loss to host Brock in the morning, but the Rabbits turned around in the afternoon and rallied for an 11-9 win over Tolar.
In the loss to Brock, Braxton Deford had a couple of RBIs while Maylie Short took the loss on the mound. Hannah Shaw and Petie Wolsey both went 2-for-3.
Against Tolar, Shaw smacked the game-winning double to score Tristin Hopson and Petie Wolsey. Hopson and Wolsey both reached base earlier in the sixth on singles.
Ashlyn Vanwey, Tori Stockard and Shaw all finished with two RBIs. Short earned the win.
Bowie continued play in the Brock Tournament on Friday with games against Brownwood and Pilot Point. The Rabbits play two more games today against Midland Christian and Azle.

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.
