For the Bowie High School boys’ basketball team, playing Gunter in Monday’s Conference 3A Region 2 bi-district game was a test.
Gunter played like an itch that was tough to scratch; but, eventually the Jackrabbits recorded a 55-43 victory at Denton Guyer High School.
Bowie (23-11) has advanced to the area round where it will face the winner of a bi-district game between Sunnyvale and Hillsboro.
“Gunter played hard, and Trey Watson was a handful,” Bowie head boys’ basketball coach Doug Boxell said.
Watson canned more than 100 3-pointers during the regular season, and he finished with six treys and 22 points in the loss to Bowie.
“Gunter used the dribble drive to pass out to their shooters,” Bowie’s Zeke Vaughan said. “We didn’t step out and put enough pressure on them. They were able to hit shots, and that kept them in the game.” Read more, and see the complete box score, in the Feb. 24 Bowie News.

After a tough loss to open District 10-A volleyball play, Bellevue’s squad used the two-day break to refocus its efforts. The break worked as the Lady Eagles evened its record at 1-1 with a 3-0 win over visiting Midway Sept. 24 (25-17, 25-22, 25-20).

Bellevue Coach Jamie Hickey said working on game scenarios in practice has begun to pay off. Keeping focus was key to the victory as well.

“I think our key tonight was our mindset and just staying together,” Hickey said. “Letting mistakes go and focusing on the next play. We’ve been working on scenarios in practice and being intentional with each possession and attacking the ball more. I think we did tonight.” The Falcons played gutsy all night long, staying in each game after Bellevue had taken a good lead but the Lady Eagles, playing before a large crowd, held their own.
