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.

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.
