For the Bowie High School boys’ and girls’ track and field teams, it was a simple matter of quality over quantity.
The Bowie boys’ small contingent generated 114 points during the Possum Kingdom Relays on Saturday in Graham, and the Rabbits topped the Steers’ JV unit by 12 points to win Division I.
Sprinter Jesse Vaughn and dual hurdler/jumper Zeke Vaughan scored a heap of points to lift Bowie.
“Jesse has the leading 200-meter dash time in our area,” Bowie head boys’ track and field coach Daylon West said. “Zeke continues to improve ion the hurdles; he’s a top-notch competitor and he also won the triple jump.”
On the girls’ side, four athletes piled on 106 points to finish second behind Vernon at the Henrietta Relays this past Thursday.
Brittney Pound was the gold standard in three events at Henrietta.
“Brittney came away with five gold medals for us,” Bowie head girls’ track and field coach Colby Davis-Pastusek said.
Davis-Pastusek said it was impressive for Bowie to score as many points and win as many medals as it did with such few athletes.

Possum Kingdom Relays
Bowie started off the finals portion of the competition on Saturday earning second place in the 400-meter relay, racing in with a time of 46.93 seconds, which was five-tenths behind Abilene Wylie.

Many Prairie Valley fans had misgivings about taking state-ranked and defending Class A state champs Perrin Jan. 6, one fan saying “nothing good can come of this.”

The Bulldogs gave a solid showing against the visiting Pirates, staying close for more than three quarters before outside shooting by Perrin enabled the visitors to pull away in a 72-57 win.

Perrin looked to blow things out early, with a 5-0 lead in the opening minute before Sawyer Bray snapped the string. The Pirates went on an 8-0 run for a 13-2 lead mid-quarter.

Prairie Valley’s Trae Campbell showed what kind of night it would be by getting inside for baskets. Jarrett Horton’s 3-pointer capped a 4-of-11 shooting frame for the ‘Dogs, who were down 19-11 after eight minutes.

Several Bowie turnovers in the opening moments Friday night enabled visiting Holliday to get out to a 10-2 lead. The Eagles then used a third quarter offensive explosion for a 72-27 win over the host Rabbits.

Four turnovers in the first 90 seconds hurt the Rabbits, Holliday took advantage and broke things wide open. Holliday led 10-2 with Tyler Richey coming through with the only Bowie points. Cason Airington’s 3-pointers ended a 3-of-8 shooting frame for the Rabbits, which were down 17-8 after one quarter.

Bowie’s shooting continued going downhill into the second quarter, the Rabbits missing all five shots. A free throw by Richey midway through the frame would be the only point. Holliday outscored Bowie 13-1 in the second frame to take a 30-9 lead at the half.

The Visitors opened the third quarter on a 12-1 run, over the first nearly three minutes of the third. Both teams had their best scoring quarters in the third.
