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.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
