HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Brock eliminates Bowie girls

Bowie High School’s girls’ basketball team didn’t have much depth this year, and that elephant in the room was too much to deal with on Tuesday.
The Lady Rabbits saw their season come to an end as Bowie was riddled with foul trouble, and Brock eventually won 55-39 in this Conference 3A Region 2 quarterfinal game at Azle High School.
Bowie finished the season with a record of 27-9.
It turned into a punishing affair as the teams were called for a combined 40 fouls, and both were called for illegal substitutions once in the game.
“When we got in foul trouble, we had to do things differently on defense,” Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek said. “I thought we did an outstanding job on them in the first half.”
Davis-Pastusek said the illegal substitution calls against both schools cancelled each other out.
Bowie closed within four points of Brock after the Lady Eagles were called for theirs with 4:23 remaining in the fourth quarter. Courtney Brady made one of two technical free throws to slice Brock’s edge to 25-21.
However, the Lady Eagles responded as Rylee Lavender knocked down a 3-pointer from the wing, and she scored on a dribble drive during Brock’s ensuing possession. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the Feb. 27 Bowie News.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.

The Chisholm Trail Youth Rodeo had its awards ceremony this week, giving out plaques and buckles to the top competitors throughout the summer season.
There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.
Along with the best results in each event, at the end the overall best cowboy and cowgirl in each age division was awarded as well.
The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
There was no top overall cowboy in the age division.
