The Bowie High School softball team let one victory get away, but the Lady Rabbits still went 1-1-1 on the opening day of the Bowie Invitational on Thursday.
Bowie deadlocked with Petrolia 8-all in one that slipped out, then the Lady Rabbits nipped Conference 5A Arlington Heights 13-12 in a run-scoring fiesta and, finally, Pilot Point doubled them up 10-5 in the nightcap.
Bowie continued tournament play on Friday with Cleburne, and the event wraps up today at 4 p.m. with a game versus Springtown.
“It was a good day, but it was also disappointing at the same time,” Bowie head coach Brant Farris said. “The Petrolia game we let get away, but we bounced back to beat Arlington Heights.”
Farris said he was satisfied with Bowie’s run production as evidenced by the fact the Lady Rabbits scored 26 runs in three games against good teams.
“I was pleased with the amount of runs we put up, we were scoring often,” Farris said. Read more, and see complete tournament box scores, 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.
