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.

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.
