Bowie High School’s volleyball team finished Thursday’s pool play on a high note with a three-set victory over Pilot Point at the Whitesboro Tournament.
The Lady Rabbits topped Pilot Point by scores of 24-26, 25-8, and 25-20.
“I was proud of them for coming back and winning the final match,” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said. “It improved our morale to end the day.”
Bowie’s record stood at 5-8 heading into Friday’s home match with Millsap. The Lady Rabbits return to the Whitesboro Tournament today for consolation play.
Bowie had been placed in Pool B with Sherman, Paris and Pilot Point, and the Lady Rabbits went 1-2. Stark said losing to Sherman in three was tough.
“I felt like we ‘beat ourselves’ in the Sherman match,” Stark said. “Our serve receive isn’t as strong as where it needs to be. We are making too many mental, unforced errors.”
Stark said she will be working with the team to improve on communication skills.
The Lady Rabbits are a young team, sometimes playing brilliant aplomb while other times they simply can’t get on track and allow the opposition long serving runs.
