The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team and Bellevue High School boys’ basketball teams are among those with lofty goals for the 2014-15 season.
One of those goals is a berth in the University Interscholastic League state tournament.
Well, “on to state” now has a different meaning as the UIL has announced the state girls’ and boys’ basketball tournaments are moving from Austin to San Antonio effective this season. The UIL made the announcement on Tuesday afternoon.
The Alamodome has been chosen as the host site. It is a domed 65,000-seat, multi-purpose facility on the southeastern fringe of downtown San Antonio that can also be used for large conventions.
The state girls’ basketball tournament is slated for March 5-7, 2015, and the boys one week later March 12-14, 2015.
The move was a topic of discussing during the girls’ basketball coaching school last weekend, Bowie Head Basketball Coach Colby Davis-Pastusek said.
“I really don’t think it’s going to be a good venue for girls’ basketball,” Davis-Pastusek said. “It will be better for boys’ basketball.”
Davis-Pastusek is concerned with how the Alamodome will be curtained off, especially noting the grandiose nature of the building.
“It’s going to be different,” she said. Read more in the weekend edition of The Bowie News.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
