Very few changes in UIL realignments
County schools saw very few changes in their districts after the University Interscholastic League released its realignments Feb. 2 for the 26-27 and 27-28 school years.
Bowie’s football district, which will be District 4 Division I, will remain the same with Boyd, Paradise, Peaster, and Vernon. Iowa Park moved up to Class 4A.
Basketball district, will be District 6-3A, will consist of Henrietta, Holliday, Jacksboro, Vernon and City View. Breckenridge will replace Iowa Park.
In volleyball, also District 6-3A, Henrietta, Holliday, Jacksboro, Vernon, and City View will join the Rabbits.
Nocona’s football district, which will be District 6-2A Division I, will have Alvord, Muenster, Chico, Olney and Tioga join the Indians. The basketball district will be 11-2A and remain the same with Archer City, Electra, Nocona, Olney, Petrolia, Seymour, and Windthorst.
In volleyball, the district will consist of Archer City, Olney, Petrolia, and Windthorst along with defending district champ Nocona.
Saint Jo’s football team will be in District 12-A Division I along with Campbell, Fruitvale, and Savoy. Gold-Burg and Forestburg will be in District 10-A Division II along with Harrold, Throckmorton, and Woodson.
In basketball, which will be District 18-A, Gold-Burg and Forestburg will be joined by Bellevue, Midway, Prairie Valley and Saint Jo. Those same schools will make up District 10-A in volleyball.
Further details, such as reaction from area coaches, will be found in Thursday’s 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.
