HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL: Bowie works overtime to win

For a game that went into overtime, the Bowie High School boys’ basketball team didn’t leave much room for drama during the extra session.
The Jackrabbits outscored Krum 10-2 in overtime en route to a 53-45 victory at the Bowie Tournament on Saturday at the high school gymnasium.
“We picked up our intensity,” Bowie head boys’ basketball coach Doug Boxell said. “We got some energy when Jeffery (Howard) made those 3’s.”
So, Bowie didn’t necessarily make many defensive adjustments, the Jackrabbit players simply guarded Krum closer and caused a high volume of contested shots.
Bowie won all five of its games at the tournament, defeating the likes of Mineral Wells, Iowa Park, the Abilene Hawks’ homeschooled team and Callisburg.
Jackrabbit senior Cooper Cantwell was named tournament most valuable while Chase Hall and Howard both attained all-tournament status.
Bowie (7-0) played perennial state powerhouse Brock on Tuesday night in a game between father and son coaches. Doug’s son, Zach, is the head coach at Brock.
Coincidentally, Brock is also 7-0, and both teams are ranked in the latest Texas Association of Basketball Association Coaches poll. The Eagles sit at No. 1, and the Jackrabbits are ranked for the first time this year at No. 21. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the mid-week Bowie News.
