LOCAL: Banquet set for BHS cafeteria
The Bowie Athletic Booster Club has decided to have the 2015-16 sports banquet in the high school cafeteria.
The boosters also were looking at the Bowie Community Center as a possible location.
The banquet is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on May 16, 2016. The serving line will be inside the cafeteria kitchen. The stage and tables will be decorated with Rabbit regalia. The program itself will begin at 6 p.m. that night.
Various coaches provided reports.
Bowie head girls’ basketball coach Colby Davis-Pastusek noted the junior varsity teams will begin the regular season this weekend in the Muenster JV Tournament.
Softball coach Brant Farris said a tournament made the booster club more than $1,200 from tournament entry fees and concessions. Taylor McCarty, a Bowie shortstop, played in the event representing Angels Premier.
Baseball coach Ryan Rogers reported a select tournament, also this past weekend, raised about $2,000.
Football coach Dylan Stark discussed the wrap up of the junior varsity and junior high seasons, and he also discussed the high school serving as a volleyball tournament host.
Boys basketball coach Doug Boxell talked about the junior high tournament scheduled for next weekend here in Bowie.
The boosters made several purchases as well, leading off with $5,975 for a new high jump mat for track and field meets. The mat is maroon and grey and comes with a cover and other extras; it will arrive in two months. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

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.
Archer City prevented further damage by retiring the next two hitters. The Lady ‘Cats struck in the bottom of the inning for seven runs.

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.
