HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Johnson to play in all-star game Saturday
Bowie High School senior point guard Trey Johnson will be playing in the 26th Annual Chicken Express All-Star Basketball Classic.
Johnson played sparingly this season, but contributed to Bowie finishing 25-10 overall. The Jackrabbits also won District 3A-9 and claimed bi-district and area championships during their playoff run.
The game will take place on Saturday at Mineral Wells High School. The girls’ game is set for 2 p.m. with the boys to follow at about 4 p.m.
Each player will be guaranteed four minutes of playing time per half.
Players were chosen from coaches nominations from 60 different schools in 14 counties surrounding Mineral Wells.
The admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children. Children up to four years old are admitted free.
There will be a 3-point shooting contest at halftime of both games, and Chicken Express will award a $1,000 scholarship to the winner of both the boys’ and girls’ contests.
Johnson will play on the same team as Lance Ewell from Brock, Lucas Simmons of Graford and Nick Wendt from Mineral Wells. The opposing team features Trey Gordon from Boyd, Quinten Tabor of Graford and Mineral Wells’ Biren Clardy. Read more in the mid-week 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.”
