HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Jackrabbit Hall named district’s MVP in 3A-9 boys
Bowie junior Chase Hall has been selected as the most valuable player in District 3A-9.
The all-district teams were released earlier this week.
The Bowie coaching staff consisting of head coach Doug Boxell and assistants Jonathon Horton and Chuck Hall was named the staff of the year.
Boxell propelled Bowie to the outright District 3A-9 championship with a 12-2 record, winning its last 11 games to seize the crown.
Nocona, under first-year head coach Tyson Mankin, finished third in 3A-9 after losing a seeding game to Holliday. Henrietta rounded out the district playoff-bound teams in fourth.
Cooper Cantwell was named defensive most valuable player. Freshman Jeffery Howard was the newcomer of the year and Gary Mosley took sixth man of the year accolades along with Paradise’s John Bridgeman.
Cantwell shared his honors with Holliday’s Kaleb Carver.
Nocona’s Kameron Hill was named the most valuable player on offense. Read the weekend Bowie News for the complete list.

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.
