LOCAL SPORTS: Stallcup baseball, softball tourneys this week
The Bowie High School baseball team will be having the Walker Stallcup Tournament starting March 12.
The tournament will take place to honor the memory of Walker Stallcup, a former Bowie baseball player who died in a vehicular accident back in 2009 up in Waurika, Okla., at the age of 16.
Stallcup also played football for the Jackrabbits. He was immersed in sports, the son of Craig and Tracy (Walker) Stallcup. The Bowie softball team moved its District 3A-9 game versus Boyd to Thursday to accommodate for the tournament. v

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.
