HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALL: Feverish Brady leads Rabbits
The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team wrapped up Burleson Tournament action on Saturday with a slim 58-57 victory over Keller Fossil Ridge.
The Lady Rabbits went 4-1 overall at the tournament, but earned fifth place in this oddly-formatted event.
Still, Bowie head girls’ basketball coach Colby Davis-Pastusek said she was pleased with her team’s effort – especially coming out on top by one point in a pair of games.
“In both situations, we were up one point, and we had to get a defensive stop,” Davis-Pastusek said.
Courtney Brady was named to the all-tournament team and she tallied 25 points in the victory over Fossil Ridge.
Brady played great despite having a fever, Davis-Pastusek reported.
“She stepped up and had a big weekend for us,” Davis-Pastusek said. “She carried the bulk of our offense, and shot the ball well. She did well playing through illness.”
The Lady Rabbits prevailed over Keller Fossil Ridge by outscoring them 20-14 in the final quarter.
Bowie stands at 9-4, and the team is off until Friday’s home game against Decatur. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the mid-week Bowie News.

Bellevue, in its first volleyball playoff game in school history, gave it a solid shot Saturday against Crowell but a powerful front court enabled the Lady ‘Cats to move on in the Class A playoffs with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-20, 25-18) win over the Lady Eagles.
Bellevue Coach Jamie Hickey was proud of her squad’s effort.
“We played how I expected for a team to play in their first ever playoff game,” Hickey said following the match at Iowa Park High. “Definitely some areas were noticed that need some work, but lots of room for growth and to build.”

In the playoffs, being consistent is even more important than the regular season.
Bowie’s consistency ebbed and flowed Oct. 30 in its bi-district volleyball matchup with Peaster. The Lady ‘Hounds were able to capitalize on that and wound up knocking the Lady Rabbits out of the postseason with a 3-0 (25-14, 25-11, 25-19) win at Graham High School.
Bowie Coach Ashley Sanders said her squad never completely got on track.
“When you get to this level, into the postseason, you have to find the rhythm and that consistency and Peaster definitely had that,” Sanders said. “We struggled to find our consistency. We had our moments where we tied together some really good plays.”
