The Bellevue Lady Eagles traveled to the campus of North Central Texas College in Gainesville Friday to take on Dodd City in the area round of the Class 1A playoffs.
However Bellevue’s season came to an end as Dodd City proved to be too much, with the Lady Hornets prevailing 82-29.
Dodd City opened the game on a 10-0 scoring run, and never looked back.
They would gain a 23-5 edge after one. The Lady Eagles improved on scoring in the second and third quarters, scoring 10 in both. However, Dodd City totaled 45 points combined during those frames.
Eleven of Bellevue’s 29 points in the game were scored from the free-throw line. Bellevue netted just two 3-pointers as the Lady Eagles struggled to put the ball in the basket.
Hannah McWilliams led the Lady Eagles with 12 points, and Devon Cassetty added seven.

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.
