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.

Perfect Score, Director’s Select, Best of the Best and Leader of the Pack are just a few of the awards for Superlophus. I’m also reasonably sure you are thinking: What is a Superlophus?
Superlophus Sunglow is the official name botanically known as an Oenothera commonly called Texas Primrose. That’s right: This golden yellow flower that is a non-stop bloomer and tough-as-nails is a native selection and winner of 15 awards from Canada to Mississippi.

Get ready for more hot and mostly dry weather conditions this week! Outside of some very low rain/storm chances late this afternoon (and maybe tomorrow afternoon), the heat will be the main story for us! We’re almost there…fall is coming at some point!
A few years ago, if someone had suggested that I would be brewing tea from orange peels, fig leaves, and the assortment of wild plants flourishing in my yard, I would have giggled in disbelief. My perception of tea was limited to the neatly packaged bags sold at the store, each little bag a promise of convenience.
I still vividly recall a few memorable trips to Great Britain, where I savored the robust flavor of a PG Tips tea bag—moments like that felt exquisitely sophisticated to me! The British, with their ritual approach and passion for creating the perfect cuppa, truly have mastered the art of tea.
