The Bowie High School softball team wrapped up its non-district schedule with the Lady Rabbit Classic on Friday and Saturday.
Bowie split games on those days, going 2-1 during Friday’s session while falling to Archer City 4-0 on Saturday at the outdoor sports complex.
“I thought we would do a little bit better,” Bowie head softball coach Brant Farris said. “We took on two top-tier pitchers.”
Farris said Archer City pitcher Eliot Hilbers pitched to Bowie’s weaknesses and the Lady Rabbits gave up too many runs early.
The coach said he was pleased with the Lady Rabbits’ non-district schedule, which ranging from public to private schools, Conference 1A through 6A.
“They were all tough, and it was good to see what the girls could do,” Farris said.
Bowie stood at 8-6-2. The team’s District 3A-9 opener versus Nocona was scrapped due to heavy rain on Tuesday.
