Without even playing, Bowie drops in TABC poll
The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team didn’t open the season until last night against Burkburnett.
So, to find the Lady Rabbits dropping 10 spots from 11th to 21st might be a little surprising.
All the teams ranked ahead of Bowie have played at least one game.
Grandview has played five games already and Teague and Live Oak Cliff four each.
Among area teams, Brock is second, Krum 12th and Peaster 16th.
Bowie will play Krum next Monday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m.
Five teams ahead of the Lady Rabbits have already incurred their first loss. Bowie is not ranked in the Texas Girls Coaches Association poll.
In Conference 2A girls, Muenster is 12th and Alvord 22nd to round out area teams receiving state recognition.
In Conference 3A boys, Peaster is 7th and Whitesboro is 14th.
Neither Montague County boys teams nor Bellevue are ranked.

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.
