VOLLEYBALL: A split for Bowie at ‘Buckle Up’

Well, there’s one team the Bowie High School volleyball squad has had no problems beating this week – and that’s Ponder.
The Lady Rabbits defeated Ponder in Pool F at the “Buckle Up For Lane’s Sake Tournament” on Thursday by scores of 25-20, 25-18. Earlier this week on Tuesday at Ponder, Bowie triumphed by scores of 25-15, 26-16, 25-17.
Bowie sports a record of 11-11 heading into today’s Silver Bracket Lane Tournament match against the Nocona JV. The match will start at 10 a.m. at Nocona Elementary School, on Court No. 2.
Bowie or the Nocona JV will take on the winner of the match between Paradise and Ponder. The championship and consolation matches in the Silver Bracket are set for 5 p.m.
“We went 2-2 (at the tournament),” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said. “We played well at times. But, defensively, we broke down and didn’t handle the ball well.”
Also at the Lane Tournament, Iowa Park defeated Bowie by scores of 25-13, 26-28, 25-19, but the Lady Rabbits came back and topped Anderson-Shiro 25-17, 25-18.
Anderson-Shiro traveled the furthest to the Lane Tournament, driving more than four hours one way to get to Saint Jo. Read more in the weekend edition of The Bowie News.

As a card-carrying member of the Sons of the Republic of Texas, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the Shadowland Giant Lone Star hosta.
Make no mistake, I don’t believe this hosta was discovered in the shady soil under a Texas Madrone in Guadalupe National Park. It was actually a sport or morphological change in s hosta named Key West. That sounds like a fairy tale story all its own.
But Shadowland Giant Lone Star has winner written all over it. It is large and has thick leaves. When 12 straight days of rain brought out a rainforest of slugs and other forest floor creatures, the bane of hosta growers everywhere, it didn’t load up with holes but simply got more beautiful.

Supertunia Mini Vista Pink Cloud petunia is having its debut year or thanks to Susan Middleton Turner in south Georgia’s zone 9 Miller County it’s breakout year.
Susan’s house looks quite like a movie set, and you would have to think that Supertunia Mini Vista petunias play a prominent role.
Last year it was the award-winning Supertunia Mini Vista Indigo that dazzled with incredible color. The petunias were planted in banister baskets across the front of the house. I featured her photos in an article I wrote about Mini Vista petunias.
