HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Bowie creates no-mush zone

The Bowie High School football team totaled more than 200 yards of offense in the opening quarter with an old-fashioned wishbone alignment.
The Jackrabbit defense yielded just one first down the entire first half.
Those were the elements at play as Bowie won its season opener over visiting Wichita Falls Hirschi 50-8 at Jackrabbit Stadium in non-district action Friday.
Now, the Jackrabbits aim to pull off something they didn’t accomplish all season in 2014, and that’s win a road game.
“They have a new coach in Keri Timmerman,” said Bowie head coach Dylan Stark. “He’ll have them fired up and ready to play.”
Timmerman is a former assistant at Grapevine High. Lake Worth is coming off a 49-27 loss to Fort Worth Country Day.
Historically, the Jackrabbits and Bullfrogs have played tight games. Last year, Bowie defeated Wichita Falls Hirschi 41-35 in overtime – winning in part because Lake Worth missed an extra point during regulation.
Stark said Bowie will have to prepare for a team that ran and threw the ball with success last week, despite the loss. Lake Worth had 153 yards passing and 121 yards on the ground.
“They like to throw it as much as they run it,” Stark said. “We will have to prepare for both.”
Bowie’s defense, spearheaded by middle linebacker Cayden Cox, held the Huskies to 137 total yards and Stark expects the Bullfrogs to provide a good test. Read more, and see complete statistics, in the mid-week Bowie News.
