The Bowie High School volleyball team didn’t allow City View to gain any confidence during Tuesday’s District 3A-9 match.
Holliday surrendered a game to the Lady Mustangs during a 3A-9 match earlier this season, and on Sept. 26, Jacksboro and City View produced a second set score of 35-33 in favor of the Tigerettes.
The Lady Rabbits weren’t about to have such shenanigans, and they swept City View by scores of 25-15, 25-21, 25-8.
City View pressed Bowie the most in the second set, but a late Lady Rabbit run precluded the Lady Mustangs from victory.
“I thought the girls played well and executed versus City View,” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said. “They had gone four sets with a couple of our strong district teams, so I knew they had improved and were hungry for a win.”
Stark said the Lady Mustangs stayed closer with Bowie in the second set due to a spree of unforced errors.
Bowie stands at 18-13, and 3-3 in 3A-9. By virtue of a win over Boyd earlier this season, the Lady Rabbits would qualify for the postseason as the fourth-best team in the district right now.
Bowie played at Paradise on Friday. Read more, and see complete District 3A-9 standings, in the weekend Bowie News.

In its first match since last year’s state semifinal appearance, Saint Jo hosted Bryson Aug. 11 and took a 25-13, 25-12, 25-21 win over the Cowgirls.

The Lady Panthers lost some talent to graduation but have five seniors ready to have a successful season. Savannah Hil, one of the five, got Saint Jo rolling offensively with a four-point serving string, including a pair of aces. Abby Carter’s kill and Kamron Skidmore’s block helped put the Lady Panthers up 5-2 in game one.

Hadleigh Moore added a four-point string of her own to extend the lead to 10-3. Tatum Morman’s pair, helped by a Hill kill, gave Saint Jo a 14-5 lead. Bryson got within five before a Hill 3-pointer, with help by a Carter kill, put the lead back at 18-10.

After an Olivia Johnson kill broke serve, Jordyn O’Neal served up the final five points, with Johnson providing a kill to move things along.
