TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL POLLING: Bowie girls remain 13th overall
The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team won District 3A-9 last week, completing the regular season with a 27-5 mark and 14-0 in district action.
Despite such a strong season, Bowie’s girls couldn’t make up any ground in polling – remaining 13th in the latest Texas Association of Basketball Coaches 3A poll.
Bowie played Whitesboro Monday in the Bi-District 3A-II game at Sanger High School.
Sunnyvale holds the top spot at 30-2, and Shallowater is second at 26-1.
Also in polling, Bellevue moved to 24-7 and won District 1A-21 boys’ championship with a convincing 80-60 victory over Slidell this past Friday.
With the win, the Eagles moved from 18th to 17th spot in the TABC 1A boys’ poll.
The Eagles were unblemished at 13-0 heading into Tuesday’s regular-season finale against Gold-Burg.
Texline is the leader in 1A boys, compiling a 28-2 record, with Laneville second at 22-3. Throckmorton is sixth, at 17-2.
Slidell’s girls, who beat Forestburg 41-29 on Saturday for the District 1A-21 title, are 10th in the Texas Girls Coaches Association 1A poll. Slidell is 19th in the TABC 1A girls poll, with a 26-4 record. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.

Coming into the Jan. 30 District 9-2A battle between Nocona and Windthorst at Indian Gym, most fans expected a repeat performance of the first meeting, which the Indians won in overtime.
The Trojans had other ideas.
Playing a very aggressive style from the get-go, Windthorst took control early by using 82% shooting from the field to take a 15-point lead after one quarter. It would prove to be the difference in a 61-48 win over the Indians before a packed house.
Both teams are now 6-2 in district (Nocona 27-4 overall, Windthorst 20-6).

In the Jan. 31 battle between the boys basketball teams of Bowie and City View, the host Rabbits hung with the District 7-3A leaders for nearly a half but the Mustangs used their athleticism and speed to pull away in the second half of a 71-58 win.
Bowie is now 1-7 in district and 11-18 overall with City View goes to 7-1 and 15-6. Bowie Coach Ryan Dykes said his squad played hard for a while but needs to put together four quarters.
“I liked our start, our intensity from the tip,” Dykes said. “We did a good job rotating defensively and that seemed to rattle them early.”

Sy Parker wanted to celebrate her 16th birthday in a big way.
The Nocona sophomore did just that, pacing a big first quarter for the Lady Indians with 17 points and six rebounds. The hosts fed off of that and would end up cruising over Windthorst, 61-23 Friday afternoon.
Nocona ran its record to 22-7 and 8-1 in District 9-2A while Windthorst is now 12-12 and 6-3 in district. Lady Indian Coach Kyle Spitzer’s pregame want of playing fast came to fruition.
“We like to push the pace and we did that, most notably Sy,” Spitzer said. “When (Windthorst) went into a zone (defense), it slowed us down a bit.”
