Published

on

Former Bellevue High School standout Broc Terry played in the Texas 6-Man Coaches Association boys’ all-star basketball game on Saturday.
Terry scored two points as the East suffered a 68-63 loss to the West at D.L. Ligon Coliseum on the Midwestern State University campus in Wichita Falls.
The District 1A-21 most valuable player also helped the East with three steals and one assist during his playing time.
The East has not defeated West since 2007, when the all-star game took place in Lubbock.
East’s Brady Chamberlain made a layup to forge a 60-all tie with 1 minute, 57 seconds left to play, but the West canned eight free throws to prevail.
Carlos Espino, from state Conference 1A champion Texline, tallied 15 points and converted three 3-pointers to claim most valuable player honors.
Brady Chamberlain paced the East with 16 points.
This marked the second straight year Bellevue was represented in the all-star game, with Brandt Cassetty playing 2014.

on

Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.

Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.

“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”

Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood  spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Nocona came into game two of its Class 2A Division I bi-district series with Archer City looking to rebound from a 17-0 loss in game one.

The Lady Indians took a quick lead but the Lady ‘Cats had too much in the tank and knocked Nocona out of the playoffs courtesy of a 13-3, five-inning victory winning the best of three series, 2-0.

Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.

Lady Rabbits win bi-district

Published

on

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.

Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.

After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.

Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
