For second-year Bowie High School head baseball coach Ryan Rogers, the reward was seeing jubilation on the Jackrabbits’ faces.
“There was a lot of excitement,” Rogers said as Bowie defeated Holliday 11-3 en route to clinching the District 3A-9 title. “It’s a reward for all the hard work they’ve done. It’s good for the kids and the community.”
Bowie won its first district championship in nearly a decade (2006) as Kamry Weber smacked a second-inning grand slam and Chandler Dean used his finesse more than his fastball to get outs.
The Jackrabbits, ranked in the top-10 in Conference 3A in every state poll, have improved to 22-1-2 and 12-0 in 3A-9. Bowie played Montague County rival Nocona on Senior Night Tuesday before wrapping up the season on the road Friday at Boyd.
Weber’s home run was just the start of Bowie’s offensive barrage.
“I was hoping it would go out,” Rogers said. “I knew it had a shot because of the short right field fence. It was big for us.”
On a two-ball, two-strike count, Weber turned on a Zach Gowen pitch and lifted the ball toward right field. The wind carried it past the fence by a few feet for the homer.
Dylan Slade opened the second inning with a single. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the mid-week Bowie News.
