HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Seniors are sparks
By ERIC VICCARO

For the Bowie High School girls’ basketball team to entertain visions of San Antonio, Courtney Brady and River Romine will need to deliver.
In a Conference 3A bi-district game at Denton High School, Brady and Romine both tallied 15 points as the Lady Rabbits downed Whitesboro 50-42.
“The more we score the more we help the team,” said Romine, who will play for Fort Lewis State in Colorado next year.
Brady said it was simply a matter of working the ball around for a good shot.
“I think in the first half we were forcing shots,” said Brady, headed to Southeastern Oklahoma State for the 2016-17 campaign. “We were able to get the shots we wanted in the second half. We knew we had to work the ball around more.” Read more, and see the complete box score, in the Feb. 17 Bowie News.

Red River Bass Club closes season
The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.
Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.
Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

Stewart becoming new BHS golf coach
New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.
Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.
He originally had never planned on coaching golf.
“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
