So, would the Bowie High School girls’ basketball team bounce back after last Saturday’s 10-point loss to Wichita Falls Rider at the Fantasy of Lights Tournament?
Yes.
Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Conference 3A sixth-ranked Bowie downed Celina 75-55 in a non-district game at home on Tuesday.
“Our kids did a great job of controlling the tempo,” said Bowie girls’ basketball coach Colby Davis-Pastusek. “We set the tone on both ends of the floor.
“Defensively, we made a few mistakes that we will fix and learn from,” Davis-Pastusek continued. “We had 19 assists as a team. I am very proud of that, and our willingness to share the ball.”
River Romine found Henslee Ogle for a bucket to give Bowie its first double-digit lead of the game at 16-6 with 1:46 left in the first quarter.
Despite some Bowie defensive lapses, Celina still had trouble keeping up and the Lady Rabbits’ lead grew to 21 points at halftime – capped off by a Kamryn Cantwell move inside the lane for two.
Bowie’s lead continued to grow in the second half, and the Lady Rabbits were up 59-33 at the end of three quarters.
The Lady Rabbits’ largest lead was at 53-26 after a Courtney Brady 3-pointer. Read more in the Dec. 5 edition of The Bowie News.
