Bowie High School baseball remains in fourth place in Conference 3A in the latest Texas High School Baseball Association poll released on May 7.
The Jackrabbits are fresh off sweeping Whitesboro in a best-of-3 Bi-district series by scores of 12-1 in Game One and then 14-7 in Game Two here in Bowie on Friday and Saturday.
Bowie’s record improved to 26-1-2 with the pair of victories, and the Jackrabbits will play Palmer this May 15 and 16 in a best-of-3 Area series at Chisholm Trail High School in Saginaw, a suburb of Fort Worth.
Central Heights (21-1) leads the Conference 3A poll, with West second and Idalou third.
The rest of the 3A poll features Hughes Springs fifth, Banquete sixth, Gunter seventh, Danbury eighth, Jim Ned of Tuscola ninth and Edgewood 10th.
Gunter is a possible third-round match-up should Bowie defeat Palmer this weekend.
Early and Falfurrias also received votes in the poll.
Iowa Park, undefeated this season with a 21-0 mark, is No. 1 in Conference 4A and Huffman Hargrave is second. Argyle is also in the poll, in the sixth spot. Bowie and Iowa Park played a scrimmage against each other in February. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.
