The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team played its best game since its only win of the Whataburger Tournament back in December.
Coincidentally, Bowie thrashed what was thought to be a solid Boyd squad 81-38 in District 3A-9 action on Tuesday evening.
The Jackrabbits improved their record to 15-9 overall, 4-2 in District 3A-9.
“We had several kids in double digits,” said coach Doug Boxell. “The press play helped them get going offensively.”
Bowie’s offensive fired on many cylinders as five players reached double-digit scoring, and the Jackrabbits exceeded 20 points in three of four quarters.
Meanwhile, Boyd scored just five points in the opening salvo as Bowie established a 16-point cushion.
“We were able to turn the ball over well,” said Boxell. “We needed a game like that to get us going.”
That was certainly a factor in Bowie’s win. The Jackrabbits registered 19 steals as a team and Bowie just had eight turnovers itself.
