Pana will be looking for a new high school boys basketball coach for the first time in a long time. In an article in the Springfield State Journal Register, it says that Coach Gary Bowker has submitted his resignation as coach and the board was expected to act on the issue at their meeting last night. The article says Coach Bowker was looking for more time with his family. Coach Bowker was the head coach of Pana for 17 years, winning 331 games and taking them to 2 state tournament appearances–including a 2nd place finish in 2001.
