City View gave the Bowie High School softball team all it could handle early.
But, the Lady Rabbits were up to the challenge as they remained undefeated in District 3A-9 action.
Bowie faced a 2-0 deficit, but the Lady Rabbits scored two runs to tie the game in the second inning and then forged ahead for good.
“We’re trying to get rid of the slow starts,” said head coach Brant Farris. “But, the girls once again did a good job of coming back.”
Callie Melton grounded out to second, bringing in Braxton Deford from third for the game-tying run.
Then in the next inning, Petie Wolsey, who went 4-for-4 at the plate, scored from third to gain the lead. Two more runs in the fourth and fifth innings sealed the deal.
Ashlyn Vanwey singled and scored on Wolsey’s RBI base hit. Henslee Ogle doubled and scored on an error in the fifth inning. Both Addy Cook and Vanwey had two hits.
Kellbie Throckmorton notched the win for Bowie. Read more, and see complete box scores and district standings, in the mid-week Bowie News.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
