With such a comfortable margin over City View on Tuesday, it allowed Bowie High School head baseball coach Ryan Rogers the chance to use most of his team.
Lawson Mickler spelled Chandler Dean as the typical Tuesday starting pitcher.
Coby Bentley pitched the sixth and seventh innings, getting much-needed work.
And Kevin Stallcup earned his first-ever varsity base hit, driving home two runs in the top of the seventh.
Even though Bowie was the visitor in its own park, the Jackrabbits topped City View 17-0 in this District 3A-9 contest.
Bowie, now ranked fourth in Conference 3A according to the latest Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association poll, improved to 19-1-2, 9-0. The Jackrabbits continued district play on Friday against Paradise.
“We were able to get Lawson and Coby on the mound,” Rogers said. “I’m happy about the way the guys played. Some of the guys on the bench got a shot to contribute, and Kevin is a perfect example of that. He was able to come in and get his first hit and two RBIs. Good for him.”
Rogers said Mickler and Bentley pitched on Tuesday because the team needs to start thinking long-term into the playoffs.
“We wanted to give Chandler and Cooper some extra rest,” Rogers said.
Rogers said he was pleased with how the bats came alive, especially during the seventh inning when the Jackrabbits scored nine times. Read more, and see the box score, in the weekend Bowie News.

For the second year, Montague County All-Stars hosted its annual Fall Games at Saint Jo High School Oct. 21.

Representatives from nearly every county elementary and high school took part in the day-long event. Students with assorted disabilities learned how to play basketball in the morning and volleyball in the afternoon.

Helping teach the finer points of both games were players and coaches from all the area high schools. Individual skills such as passing, dribbling, and shooting were taught in one of the school’s gyms before athletes were broken up into teams and played timed games in the other gym.

Some of the younger athletes had issues with the ball dribbling and got hit in the nose. Eventually they all got the hang of it, one even getting a basket.
