HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS: Tough outing for area powerlifters
Three Bowie and two Nocona High School powerlifters competed in the Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting Association state meet.
Overall, 233 lifters from across the Lone Star State competed – indicating how tough it is to medal on the grand stage – at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi.
“The girls meet just keeps getting more competitive each year,” Bowie head coach Quentin Berend said. “More and more girls are getting involved and competing in powerlifting.”
Berend reported each weight class had about 20 girls.
“That made it hard to bring home medals,” the coach commented.
Bowie’s Hannah Shaw finished the best of all the area powerlifters.
Shaw placed 11th in the 148-pound division with a three-lift total of 750 pounds, which included a squat of 315 pounds. Mia Casas from Hebbronville was the winner (920 pounds).
Shelbi Rhoda placed 14th at 132 pounds with 705 pounds lifted, and that included a 300-pound dead lift. Sierra Paredez from San Angelo Grape Creek was tops, lifting 840 pounds. Read more in the mid-week 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.
