The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team found itself down 19-17 at intermission during Friday’s District 3A-9 game versus Paradise.
The Lady Rabbits responded by outscoring the Lady Panthers 17-5 in the third quarter, playing a more deliberate style in the process.
“We made some adjustments on defense,” said Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek. “I thought in the first half, we got the shots we wanted, but we couldn’t finish them.”
Bowie penetrated the lane with much more ease in the second half, and that helped the Lady Rabbits prevail 41-28 to take sole possession of first place in District 3A-9.
“We’re in a position now where we control our own destiny,” the coach commented, as Bowie improved to 22-7, 10-1 in 3A-9.
Overall, Bowie connected on 14-of-32 field goals (44 percent), and the Lady Rabbits added 12-of-18 from the free-throw stripe (67 percent).
Courtney Brady was front and center in the early stages of the third quarter. Brady scored on a pair of dribble drives, and then she added a pair of free throws.

The Red River High School Bass Club competed on Saturday at Eagle Mount Lake as the club finished fifth overall out of 28 clubs.
The club had two teams that brought in fish at the end of the day, but one also finished highly.
The team of Carson Caudle and Hunter Blackburn got fourth overall out of more than 100 teams. The pair caught three fish that weighed in at 7.99 pounds.
The club had one more pair that brought in fish. Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey got one fish that weighed in a 1.95 pounds that was good for 33rd place.
