The Bowie High School volleyball team stormed out to a 2-0 lead in its district home opener against the Boyd Tuesday
But, it was unable to stop the rush of momentum for Boyd as the Lady Jackets took the final three sets.
The Lady Rabbits dropped to 0-2 in district play after the loss 10-25, 11-25, 25-20, 25-16, 15-12. Bowie is 15-13 overall.
“I thought the girls played the best volleyball of the season in the first two sets,” said head coach Jeanie Stark. “But you have to win three. When you don’t finish the job in the third, momentum tends to shift toward the other team and it’s tough to swing it back your way.”

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.
