Coach Bowles Leaves Woodville

[KFDM COOP]

From Smoaky

Jack Bowles confirmed his resignation from Woodville High School, and he's accepted the athletic director and head coach of the boys basketball program at Yantis.

Bowles was one of the finalists for the opening in Bullard.

He's been to the state tournament twice, and told me he's excited about going to Yantis.

Yantis is a slow growing school located on Lake Fork & just 10 mi. South of Sulphur Springs. Brand New JH, & the HS & gymnasium are only 4 years old. One playoff win in previous 20 + years, so it will be a challenge.

I will SORELY miss my players here, as they have bought into "The Woodville Way" these past 3 years & yes, we are definitely about to turn the corner here.

Woodville's Lil' Dribblers, w/ the help of many in the community, is now VERY strong. We have had 9 teams in our JV/V Summer League the last 3 years & our bb camp the last 3 years has had over a combined 320 kids! OUr upcoming talent in the 8th---11th grades is VERY good. This Summer, our Varsity also went to TABC's Team Camp in Georgetown  & I saw LOTS of improvement!! In addition, our pay & facilities are some of the best in all of East Texas! Hopefully, they get the right man for the job(RW). Good luck guys!!

coach Bowles,

Boomer Sooner!
