The Bowie boys’ basketball team suffered a loss to Iowa Park – which including an ineffective third quarter in which the team scored just nine points.
“We had too many turnovers,” said head coach Doug Boxell.
Both teams seemed to have their fair share of turnovers, with the opposing side taking advantage of most of them.
Iowa Park’s offense was more consistent than Bowie’s throughout the game.
“They were moving the ball well,” Boxell said. “They also were shooting and scoring very well.”
Despite the loss, Boxell looked at the positives.
“Sure we’re disappointed with losses,” he said, “but, I still tell them we are way ahead of schedule. We’re better than what was expected of us so far this season.”
Jeffery Howard recorded a big night, scoring 30 points along with five rebounds and an assist.
