After having a chance to enter the postseason ripped from them by Ponder the prior week, the Bowie High School football team played for pride.
The opponent was Paradise, which like Bowie came into the game without a district victory.
Bowie finally earned that win with a convincing 34-0 District 4-3A-I triumph over Paradise on Friday at Jackrabbit Stadium.
Bowie completed the season with a 2-8 record and a 1-4 mark in 4-3A-I.
“I felt like all three phases of the game played real well,” said head coach Dylan Stark. “The offense made some really big plays.”
The Jackrabbits offense came out firing on all cylinders to begin the game, leading 20-0 at the end of the first quarter.
Trace Hardee completed a four-yard pass to Chase Hall and a 51-yard pass to Jesse Vaughn for touchdowns in the opening act.
The defensive unit stood strong as well, recording four fumble recoveries in the shutout effort.
“The defense has played well all district,” Stark said. “Not many teams put up a lot of points on them.” Read more in the mid-week Bowie News, and see complete season-ending district standings.
