Bowie High School’s softball team wrapped up its own tournament on Saturday with a convincing 10-4 victory over Conference 4A Springtown.
Jayde Brezina provided four RBIs and Kellbie Throckmorton didn’t allow any runs during her three innings of work.
“We hit the ball well, and we found ways to get on base,” said second-year Bowie head coach Brant Farris. “We were able to get leads in both of those games.”
Farris heaped praise on Throckmorton, who allowed four hits in three innings, but didn’t issue any walks.
“Kellbie did a great job of hitting spots, and she was able to move the ball in and out,” Farris said. “She kept them off-balance.”
Throckmorton induced Springtown into several pop-ups and grounders.
Bowie 10, Springtown 4
Taylor McCarty and Addy Cook both went 3-for-3 with two runs scored, and Henslee Ogle drew a pair of walks as the Lady Rabbits topped Springtown.

Bellevue VB wins at home over Midway
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.
