Soggy conditions didn’t deter the Bowie High School girls’ golf team from playing its own invitational on Monday.
The Lady Rabbits finished second in a field of six teams, recording a composite score of 225 in the process at Twisted Oaks Golf Club.
“It was about a 40-, 45-degree day and it was wet,” Bowie head coach Jonathon Horton said. “I didn’t hear any complaining from the girls, and they were properly prepared for it.”
The tournament was reduced to nine holes because of the weather, but the girls persevered and many finished with good results despite the weather.
Kylie Robinson was Bowie’s low score, firing a 51 for second place. Teammate Chloe Polk finished in a tie for fourth with a 54. Polk tied Carli Baustert from Vernon and Allison Marsh of Burkburnett.
Vernon won the team standings with a 213, and produced the medalist golfer in Emily Burrus, who carded a 46.
Stephanie Clement and Tessla Brewer also golfed for Bowie, with scores of 57 and 63 respectively.

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.
