Bowie baseball plays well at final tournament
In the team’s final action for at least the next two weeks, the Bowie baseball team hosted the Walker Stallcup Tournament last week.
The Jackrabbits went 2-2 during the three days of action.
Bowie first played Bridgeport early on Thursday to start off the tournament action. In the first inning, Parker Price worked himself out of an early jam on the mound. After walking two batters with one out, Price struck out two batters back-to-back to end the inning, even with both runners in scoring position after a double steal.
In the second inning the Bulls took advantage of two leadoff walks to score on a sacrificed ground out to the short stop.
The Jackrabbits had no base runners get on in the first two innings as they fell behind 1-0.
Bowie came back in the third inning. First turning a double play to get out of defense, the Jackrabbits loaded the bases with no outs when Cade Thompson drove in two runs on a double. Colton Richey followed him with a ground out to first base, but it scored one more run as Bowie took a 3-1 lead.
That proved to be enough as neither team allowed more than one base runner on for the rest of the game while the defense and pitching shut down any chances getting those players home. The Jackrabbits would win.
Bowie would play later that night against Pampa. The Harvesters would score one run in the first inning to take the lead while the Jackrabbits struggled to get any base runners on base in response.
In the second inning, Pampa would add another run thanks to base running and go up 2-0. Bowie drew two walks to lead off the inning. Kawlyer Swearingin would drive in one run on a single. An error at third base would allow the other base runner to score, tying the game at 2-2 after two innings.
The Harvesters would take back the lead in the third inning, loading the bases with one out before drawing a walk. The Jackrabbits limited Pampa to just that one run as the inning ended with the bases still loaded and the score 3-2.
The Harvesters would add four more runs in the fourth inning with three big hits, upping their lead to 7-2. Bowie struggled to respond and the game ended after the fifth inning and the Jackrabbits losing.
It was a rainy day on Friday, but the tournament continued thanks to the turf field. Bowie’s one game played that day was against Wichita Falls High School.
The Coyotes started out the game taking the lead 1-0 in the first inning with some extra base hits. A few innings later Wichita Falls added another run on a sacrifice fly ball, upping its lead to 2-0 in the third inning.
The Jackrabbits responded in the bottom of the inning. Weston Partridge hit a triple that drove in two runs. Next batter Price hit a single to left field to drive in another run, giving Bowie the lead 3-2 heading into the fourth inning.
While both teams had chances in the fourth inning to score, neither could take advantage as the game moved into the fifth inning. There Jake Fallis drove in two runs with a triple with no outs. A couple of batters later, Fallis stole home for another run and Brae Ogle drove in a run on a single.
With the Jackrabbits up 7-2, the game was called after that to keep the tournament moving and on schedule.
Bowie played its final game of the tournament on Saturday against Vernon. The Lions scored three runs in the first inning and never looked back. The Jackrabbits got hits here and there, but could never link hits together to score any runs.
Vernon would score two runs or more in all but one inning as the Lions would win 11-0 after five innings of play.

The Red River High School Bass Club competed on Saturday at Eagle Mount Lake as the club finished fifth overall out of 28 clubs.
The club had two teams that brought in fish at the end of the day, but one also finished highly.
The team of Carson Caudle and Hunter Blackburn got fourth overall out of more than 100 teams. The pair caught three fish that weighed in at 7.99 pounds.
The club had one more pair that brought in fish. Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey got one fish that weighed in a 1.95 pounds that was good for 33rd place.
Only 37 out of the 126 teams were fortunate enough to bring fish to the weigh-in.

Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians’ softball team had a great first week as a full team, winning all of their games and going 4-0 at their hosted tournament against a Seymour program.
The Lady Indians were able to add some players from basketball, which only ended the previous week after winning the state title.
Nocona kicked off the week with a blowout win against Perrin-Whitt on March 4. The Lady Indians scored 12 runs in the first inning and seven in the second as the game ended after three innings due to run-rule, Nocona winning 19-1.
Skye Kirby led the team with four RBIs while Kylea Wallace and Heidi Atteberry were second with two RBIs each. The team drew 12 walks.
Reagan Phipps, fresh from the basketball court, allowed one run (zero earned) on two hits while striking out seven batters.
Nocona on March 6-7 played double-headers on each day against Seymour and its JV team.
The first game against the Lady Panthers varsity team saw the Lady Indians win 14-6 after four and half innings. Gwyndelyn Forsyth led the team with three RBIs while Tinley Cable, Kirby and Phipps each drove in two runs. Phipps hit a home run as well.
On the mound, Phipps allowed six runs on nine hits while striking out nine batters.
The next game against the JV team from Seymour was strangely closer, but Nocona came out on top, winning 10-7 after four innings played.
Forsyth led the team with two RBIs as five different players drove in one run each. Atteberry got the start on the mound and allowed seven runs on six hits while striking out six batters and walking seven.
The next day Nocona dominated the Seymour varsity team again, winning 11-2 after five innings played. Evelyn Marquez led the team with two RBIs while four other players had one in a balanced approach. Phipps allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits while striking out seven batters.
The Lady Indians made sure not to let up against the Seymour JV team in the next game. Nocona won 16-3 after four innings played to end the week off right.
Kaitlyn Tiffner led the team with four RBIs while Marquez drove in three, Kirby and Cable drove in two. Atteberry allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits while striking out two batters.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers had tough games last week against 2A team Chico and Muenster.
The Lady Panthers lost by the scores 21-2 and 22-0 as they try to look for the positive while playing against mostly bigger schools.
Saint Jo played Chico on March 7. Most of the damage was done in the second inning, with the Lady Dragons scored 13 runs. The Lady Panthers did score runs in two of the three innings played, but the game ended after three due to run-rule as Chico won 21-2.
Reagan Wilson led the team with one RBI. On defense, the team had 17 walks and allowed 10 hits, though the team committed zero fielding errors.
It did not get any easier hosting Muenster on March 10. The Lady Hornets scored 10 runs in the first inning before Saint Jo could come up to bat and had dug itself a big hole. The Lady Panthers had little success with their bats in the game, with Maxey Johnson being the sole base runner as she got a hit.
Muenster won 22-0 as the Lady Hornets had 14 hits and drew 16 walks.
