Five Montague County basketball players were selected to all-region teams by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches.
The honors were made public with an announcement on Wednesday.
Bowie junior Chase Hall and Nocona junior Kameron Hill both earned their way onto the TABC Conference 3A Region 2 team.
On the girls’ side, Bowie’s Courtney Brady and Addy Cook were both selected for the 3A Region 2 squad. Saint Jo’s Karla Fernandez attained the 1A Region 3 team.
Brady was also chosen as TABC 3A all-state performer.
“Karla is very deserving of all-region,” Saint Jo head coach Glenn Boerger said. “Karla has been an impact player the past three seasons and was the focus of every team defensively we played.”
Boerger said Fernandez, a 5-foot-7 senior power forward, improved her outside game this season.
“Karla is a great rebounder and she made her team better this year,” Boerger added.
Fernandez, who scored 42 points in a single game this season, averaged 18.2 points per game with 9.1 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.8 assists per contest.
Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek was also thrilled to see Cook and Brady earn honors.
“Courtney and Addy both are well deserving of TABC All-Region,” Davis-Pastusek said. “It’s a testament to their hard work and dedication to our team success. We are very proud of them both.” Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

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.
