Bowie, ranked number 21 in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Conference 3A rankings, opened the season at home Tuesday against Burkburnett.
Bowie made a strong case for moving up in those rankings after a decisive 58-22 win.
“The team played hard,” said head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek. “It was a really good first game.”
Bowie seized control of the game from the start as Courtney Brady recovered her own rebound for the team’s first points of the season.
Once the Lady Rabbits grabbed the lead, they never lost it. Burkburnett finally reached double digits midway through the third quarter.
The Lady Rabbits established a 36-7 lead by intermission. For the game, Bowie held Burkburnett to 29 percent field-goal shooting.
“I was proud of the defensive effort,” Davis said. “It’s really good when you can hold opponents to single digit scoring for a couple quarters; it’s one of our goals. We played sound defense in full and half court.”
Only in the fourth quarter, when the game was already decided, was Burkburnett competitive. Read the weekend Bowie News for more, including a complete box score. Buy an e-subscription to 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.
