HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Girls, early Rabbit rush rankles Krum

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.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
