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.

The Garden Guy surfed the web and stumbled across a photo you most likely have never seen. It featured three Proven Winners National Plants of the Year in a wonderful combination.
The flowers were the Safari Dusk Jamesbrittenia or South African phlox which is the ‘Annual of the Year.’ The combo also featured Supertunia Hoopla Vivid Orchid the ‘Petunia of the Year’ and Heart to Heart Chinook the ‘Caladium of the Year.’

Food is supposed to bring people together.
It sits at the center of our holidays, church potlucks, birthday parties, first dates, family reunions and late-night kitchen conversations. In Texas especially, I feel like feeding people is one of the purest forms of love we know. We celebrate with casseroles, comfort with pies, and gather around smoked meats and shared desserts.
Food is hospitality. Food is belonging.
But for some people, food is also calculation.
Before the appetizers even arrive, some of us are already scanning ingredients, evaluating risk, rehearsing questions, and trying to determine whether asking those questions is about to make everyone at the table uncomfortable.
