HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS: Price garners varsity girls’ singles
The Bowie High School girls’ tennis team fared quite well on Thursday during the final day of the Jackrabbit Classic.
The tournament started on Tuesday with boys’ and mixed doubles play, and the girls wrapped up the event Thursday.
This tournament was used as preparation for the District 3A-9 meet scheduled to take place on April 7-8 at the BHS Tennis Courts. Nocona also will be in competition.
The event will open at 8:30 a.m. on April 7 with varsity boys and girls singles and doubles, and junior varsity singles and doubles as well as mixed doubles.
The final four individuals and teams will compete on the final day of the tournament April 8, with play beginning at 9 a.m.
“This is the first time all season all the teams in the district were here,” Bowie head tennis coach David Hall said. “We got to see who was out there and see what it’s going to take. It was good preparation.”
Katelin Price won the varsity girls’ division for Bowie.
Myah Russell and Meagan Russell teamed up to garner varsity girls’ doubles, while teammates Veronica Hernandez and Stephanie Crawford placed second. 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.
