HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Bowie boys top Peaster by 3

The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team was locked in a defensive struggle against Peaster on Tuesday evening.
The Jackrabbits came into the game ranked 16th in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Conference 3A poll. Peaster was actually ranked higher at No. 13.
It was the type of playoff game you’d expect from these two regional powerhouses, as defenses reigned supreme.
“We had to stop their penetration,” said Bowie head coach Doug Boxell. “They have good 3-point shooters. We mixed up our defenses to prevent them from running set plays.”
Boxell didn’t think it would be such a low-scoring game. He rather imagined the final score somewhere in the 50s.
However, as the game flowed, players struggled to find open looks to shoot, penetration lanes were gated and closed for the most part and offenses bogged down. The teams also combined for a scant 10 free-throw attempts.
“Both teams had trouble getting looks and attack the basket,” Boxell said. Read more in The Bowie News.
