Bowie held off a stiff challenge from Slidell in Nocona Summer League action June 22, the Lady Rabbit basketball team posting a 17-15 win over the Lady ‘Hounds.

Slidell took a pair of early leads only to be met by a basket and 3-pointer by junior Laney Segura for a 5-4 Bowie lead. Sophomore newcomer Sawyer Martin’s free throws and a Kynlee Baker basket extended the lead to 9-4 midway through the 16-minute running clock first half.

Each team traded baskets to close the half, Bowie’s basket from Kylee Waldrep, as the Lady Rabbits took advantage of cold shooting from the Lady ‘Hounds to lead 11-6 at the break.
