57TH ANNUAL WHATABURGER TOURNAMENT: Bowie boys win opener

The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team opened up the Whataburger Tournament with a 77-70 victory over Grapevine Faith Academy.
Bowie advanced to play Kennedale on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. in the opening round of the championship bracket.
The Jackrabbits were fueled by a season-high point total from Gary Mosley and outscoring the Lions 15-2 from the free-throw line.
“We were able to attack the basket and break their press,” Bowie head coach Doug Boxell said. “Our guys in the post played big. That was a big factor in the win.”
Boxell was especially pleased with Mosely’s performance.
“Gary did a good job,” Boxell said. “We got him the ball, and he was able to score on some post moves and on putbacks. That’s what we expect out of him.”
Boxell said the entire team played well, and the Jackrabbits’ ability to break Grapevine Faith’s pressure defense was a focal point in the victory.

Baseball Roundup

Nocona
The Nocona Indians played only one game last week due high winds later in the week, losing at Petrolia.
The Pirates won 9-0 in a game where not much went right for the Indians.
Petrolia scored five runs in the first inning thanks to three singles and three fielding error. The Pirates added one run in the third inning, two in the fifth and one more in the sixth inning.
Nocona had much trouble with its bats all game, finishing with only one hit and drawing five walks. Petrolia’s defense was stingy, only committing one fielding error, so the Indian offense struggled to say the least.
Landon Fathree got the team’s one hit in the game. The team struck out 10 times while drawing five walks.
Brody Langford got the start on the mound and pitched five innings while giving up eight run (three earned) on six hits while striking out six batters. The defense committed six fielding errors.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers played Electra on last week and lost a close game against the Tigers.
Electra won 7-6 in a game the Panthers knew they should have been able to win.
Saint Jo fell behind early in the game by five runs and spent the rest of it trying to catch back up. In the end, despite the Panthers ending with 12 hits, the team fell one run short.
Trent Gaston had a team high two RBIs. Sam Martin had three hits to lead the team.
