Bowie earned its first win of the season before the home crowd at Jackrabbit Stadium with a 41-36 overtime victory against Lake Worth.
“They just kept fighting,” said head coach Dylan Stark. “We still have a lot of things to clean up, but that’s why we have these non-district games. It wasn’t pretty, but I couldn’t be more proud of the guys.”
Despite losing three of their five fumbles in the game, the Rabbits managed the victory with determination as well as a little luck.
Bowie got off to a rough start as Lake Worth ran the opening kickoff 80 yards for the score.
A 10-yard touchdown run by Carter Shackelford tied the game at 7-all to set off a very back and forth scoring contest through most of the night.
The offense was very balanced Friday, scoring both on the ground and in the air.
“It’s a very balanced offense,” Stark said. “We feel like we can throw it, and we feel like we can run it.” Read more in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News, including complete statistics and a preview of Friday’s game against Henrietta.
