Bowie High School senior guard Courtney Brady attempted her first 3-pointer at the 5-minute, 35-second mark of the first quarter.
Brady canned the shot. She proceeded to make seven more overall as part of a career-high 31-point performance as Bowie doubled up Nocona 80-40 in District 3A-9 girls’ basketball action on Tuesday.
“Courtney is a great player for them,” Nocona head coach Brad McGann said. “She is always capable of putting up big numbers and she can shoot lights out.”
Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek was equally praiseworthy.
“It was an impressive performance,” the coach commented. “A game like that is one she’ll never forget.”
Brady made seven of those 3-balls in the first half alone, drawing plenty of ooh’s from the fans inside BHS’s main gymnasium.
Overall, Brady was 8-of-13 from beyond the 3-point arc, a sizzling 62 percent. She made 10-of-17 field goals overall (59 percent). She also pulled down seven rebounds and swiped three steals.
“She got us rolling tonight,” Brady said. “They were in a zone, and Courtney started knocking down shots, which loosened up their defense.”
Then the Lady Rabbits were able to penetrate to the basket at the elbow, and other players became involved in the offense.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
