The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team wasn’t about to share a district title this season.
And the Jackrabbits didn’t, coming away Tuesday night with a 40-22 victory over Henrietta for the District 3A-9 championship.
“They played hard, they played well as a team,” said head coach Doug Boxell.
Bowie played a different game than what one may be accustomed to, as the Jackrabbits played a ball-control-minded game.
“We just wanted to control the tempo of that game,” said Boxell.
Bowie’s defense kept Henrietta to single digits. In fact, the Bearcats could only muster two points in the first quarter, and four in the second. The Jackrabbits built a seemingly insurmountable 20-6 lead by the break.
Bowie maintained its lead in the third quarter, and added to it a little in the fourth.
