Bowie played its home opener on Tuesday against Millsap.
And the Jackrabbits improved to 2-0 after a 51-45 win in a rather eventful game at BHS Gymnasium.
“We played some good second and third quarters,” said head coach Doug Boxell. “The fourth quarter got a little out of hand, but we still managed to keep control.”
The opening quarter was a tight one, as Bowie gained their first lead of the game within the final minute of the quarter with a 13-11 score.
“Both teams started off that quarter well,” Boxell said. “They both hit some good threes at the beginning.”
However the animosity between the two teams took center stage in the game, mainly in the fourth quarter. Both teams had some rough bouts of pushing and shoving which ultimately ended in the Millsap fans and team leaving in disgust.
However Boxell, who after a foul committed against Jeffery Howard in the fourth quarter stormed out to the court to confront the culprit, exercised calm with the team.
“Well sometimes you just have to stick up for one of your players like that,” Boxell said regarding that moment. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the weekend Bowie News.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
