Coming into Monday’s game against Krum at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Bowie High School girls’ basketball coach Colby Davis-Pastusek was concerned with two things.
What were those concerns? Rebounding and running the floor.
That’s because the Lady Rabbits didn’t do either of those things particularly well in Saturday’s loss to Conference 5A ranked Wichita Falls Rider.
So, Monday gave Bowie a chance to get better, and that’s exactly what they did in a 47-36 conquest over Krum.
“I had a couple of points of emphasis, we had to run the floor and rebound the basketball,” Davis-Pastusek said. “I saw a big improvement in those areas in this game.”
Bowie culled 31 rebounds and the Lady Rabbits were more like running rabbits – getting out in transition to score layups, especially in the opening quarter.
During the first half, Bowie built leads of 16-0 with 2 minutes, 24 seconds left in the first quarter and 26-2 with 6:15 left in the second quarter.
Bowie gave Krum its first loss of the season. Coming into the game, the Lady Rabbits were ranked 22nd in Conference 3A and the Lady Cats were 11th.
Davis-Pastusek said she puts together a tough schedule, and these past two games are the living proof. Read more, and see the complete box score in the mid-week Bowie News.
