Two rebounds shy of a double-double.
That’s what happened during the Texas Girls Coaches Association 1A-3A girls’ basketball all-star game at Arlington High School on Friday as former Bowie High School standout Madison Wallace tallied 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Red team in their 71-53 victory.
“I was really nervous and worried coming into the game,” said Wallace, a 5-foot-11 center. “But, once the game started, I was able to get in a rhythm and get comfortable.”
Wallace was a three-sport star for the Jackrabbits, also competing in golf as well as the track and field squad as a discus specialist.
“It was fun playing with all those amazing athletes, and I met so many new people.”
Many of the girls Wallace played alongside or against during the game will play basketball on the collegiate level. However, Madison has decided to focus on academics at Texas Tech in Lubbock, where she will major in business.
“It was an awesome experience for Madison,” said Colby Davis-Pastusek, Bowie’s head coach who served in the same capacity with the 1A-3A Red team. “It was a great way for her to end her playing career.
“She had a great game. She was consistent,” added the coach, who complimented Wallace on her strong defense that propelled Red to the victory.
Davis-Pastusek said players were substituted in four-minute intervals. The game was played using two 18-minute halves. Read more in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.
In its first match, the Lady Panthers bested Sam Rayburn in a b est-of-three match 2-1 (25-11, 23-25, 25-14.) In the opener, senior Tatum Morman staked the Lady Panthers to a 4-0 lead with help from Kamron Skidmore and Olivia Johnson kills. The Lady Rebels would come back and tie the game at seven.
Savannah Hill’s kill broke serve and allowed Abby Carter to string together seven points. An ace and a Hill kill helped keep the drive alive. Hill later rolled off six points in a row, helped by two aces, to go up 23-10. Sam Rayburn broke serve but Saint Jo finished the game with a single Morman point.
Sam Rayburn came right out of the gate firing in the second game leading 4-0. A single Carter point, thrown down by a Hill block, and Hill’s four-point skein put the Lady Panthers up 8-6. Sam Rayburn tied the game at eight.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.

After splitting the first two games with Vernon Northside, Bowie’s volleyball team turned things out and wound with a 3-1 match win (25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-17).
Molly Enlow used two aces amidst a four-point string to give the Lady Rabbits a 5-1 lead in game one. Senior KP Rutherford’s pair of points extended the lead to 8-3.
Northside cut the deficit to 10-11 before Rutherford’s kill broke serve.
Bella Culwell’s point, aided by an Ellie Mowery kill, put Bowie up 13-10. Northside tied the game at 13 before Rutherford came through with another pair for a 17-14 lead. Lillie Maddox also had a deuce for a 20-15 lead and force a Lady INdian timeout.
Northside broke serve but a Sophie Maddox block and Lillie Maddox three-point string gave the squad game point at 24-16. The squads exchanged side outs to end the game.
