Lady Rabbits win at City View
The Bowie Lady Rabbits won their third district game playing at City View on Tuesday night.
The Lady Rabbits got it done in four sets again 3-1 playing against an athletic Lady Mustang team.
Bowie came in confident after finishing its first week of district play 2-0 with one-sided wins against Henrietta and Jacksboro.
City View started off district losing to state-ranked Holliday in straight sets, but had pulled out back-to-back five-set wins against district newcomers Vernon and Iowa Park.
The first set was back and forth with neither team able to get more than a two point lead in the first 40 points. With the score tied at 20-20, the Lady Rabbits were able to close out the set on a 5-1 run to win the set 25-21 and go up 1-0.
Set two started out as more of the same close action as the score was tied at 10-10. City View would then go on a 10-3 run to open up a 20-13 lead. The Lady Rabbits could not come back as the Lady Mustangs closed out the set strong, winning 25-16 and tying the score at 1-1.
Set three saw Bowie bounce back in a good way, taking a lead right from the start and just growing it for most of the set. The Lady Rabbits lead went from 11-4 and after an even 22 points it stood at 22-13.
City View then made a late run that made the final score respectable, but the Lady Rabbits closed it out winning 25-20 to take a 2-1 lead.
Not wanting to give the Lady Mustangs hope for playing in their third straight five-set match, Bowie closed out the fourth set with its best showing of the match.
The dominance from the previous set came through in the opening points and this time never let up.
There was no last gasp for City View as the Lady Rabbits closed out the match with little suspense, winning the most one-sided set of the match 25-13 to make it 3-1.

The Bowie boys golf team competed at the Diamondback National Golf Course in Abilene for a big tournament on Monday.
Coach Matthew Miller did not report what place the team got, but indicated the tournament was both big and deep of players and schools from bigger schools than the team usually competes with.
The team’s total was not its best, but it was not far off what it has been shooting, but for this tournament that was not enough to finish as high as it usually does.
Cy Egenbacher led the team shooting 80. Zac Harris was one shot behind shooting 87. Rayder Mann and Andrew Sandhoff rounded off the team’s scoring shooting 87 and 89 for a 337 total.
Hunter Fluitt shot 106 for the team, but it did not count towards it.
Hunter Lea competed as an individual and ended up shooting 85.
Miller thought his players had trouble stringing good holes together.
The bump in the competition has hopefully prepared the team for the district tournament next week. The Bowie Lady Rabbits team spent time at the district course this week instead of competing in a tournament.
It is scheduled for a two-day tournament on March 29-30 at River Creek Golf Course in Burkburnett.

The Bowie track teams went to two different meets this week with the boys going to Jacksboro and the girls competing at City View.
The Bowie boy’s team finished fourth overall while the Lady Rabbits team standing was not shared.
The Jackrabbits changed meets to Wednesday to allow any powerlifting boys the chance to compete since five were going to the state meet and it would have conflicted with Thursday’s original meet at City View.
Bowie came away with two first place finishes.
For the Lady Rabbits competing at City View, Neely Price and Amylee Valdez had the best individual finishes.

The Bowie Jackrabbit baseball team came on in the fifth and sixth innings to steal the win from Vernon at home on Tuesday night.
The Jackrabbits scored six runs in their final two innings to pull ahead 7-5 against the Lions.
Bowie came into the game following a disappointing loss to Iowa Park the previous week which meant it was at 1-1 in district play so far. Vernon came into the game with two losses against Jacksboro and Holliday, the Lions had only lost to the reigning district champ Eagles 2-1 with Cross Durham on the mound.
Vernon started him on Tuesday and Bowie answered with freshman Edmond DeLeon, who despite his age has been the best pitcher this season for the Jackrabbits.
DeLeon got off to a rough start in the opening inning. The Lions loaded the bases after a single and two walks with one out. Next batter hit a double to left field that scored two runs to put Vernon up 2-0.
DeLeon had runners at third and second, but struck out the next batter and induced an infield pop out to shortstop for out three to limit the damage.
