HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL: Lady Rabbits in front

The top of the lineup for the Bowie High School softball team came through – lifting the Lady Rabbits to a District 3A-9 victory over Jacksboro.
“Taylor (McCarty) and Addy (Cook) were both 3-for-4 with a triple and a home run each,” Bowie head coach Brant Farris said. “The top of the line-up set the tone. Hitting is contagious, and the rest of the lineup jumped in too.”
Bowie improved to 12-6-2 heading into next Tuesday’s game versus Paradise at home. But, more importantly, the Lady Rabbits are the only team in 3A-9 without a loss.
“The message I sent was the district was wide open,” Farris added, “and to go get it. The girls have showed up ready to play every game.”
Farris applauded the effort of the Lady Rabbits.
Jacksboro opened up the first inning with four runs, but Bowie responded in kind for four runs in the bottom of the frame to deadlock the score.
Pitcher Kellbie Throckmorton settled down after that rough patch, and didn’t allow the Tigerettes another run until the fifth inning – when victory was pretty much no longer in doubt. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the March 19 Bowie News.

Jackrabbits
A day after football season ended and the Bowie boy’s basketball team played its first game of the season and is working towards a new goal this season.
The Jackrabbits lost that first game against Sanger on Nov. 9, 70-36 before bouncing back a few days later after some practice to beat Bridgeport on Nov. 12, 56-51.
Bowie comes into this season after falling just short of making the playoffs last season.
The team graduated two of its three double-digit scorers along with an experienced post player from its starting rotation last season.
Rayder Mann is the team’s most proven scorer from last season, but other players will be counted on to step up according to Coach Ryan Dykes, who enters his second season at Bowie.
“Rayder Mann and Bradly Horton will need to be the floor generals for us to be successful,” Dykes said. “Boston Farris will be counted on to be a productive player and Gaige Goodman will need to be a factor in the paint on both the offensive and defensive end.”
In the first game against Sanger, Mann led the team with 13 points while Goodman was second with eight points.
The offense was much better overall against Bridgeport. Horton had 15 points, Mann had 14 points and Farris had nine points as Bowie scored in double-digits in every quarter of the game.

Lady Rabbits
In the second week of the season the Bowie Lady Rabbits had up and down performances.
The Lady Rabbits lost at Bridgeport on Nov. 9, 68-30 but bounced back to win at home on Nov. 12 against Boyd 55-42.
Against Bridgeport, Bowie gave up too many three-pointers on defense as the Sissies made 12 in the game.
It was too much for the Lady Rabbits to keep up with.
Parker Riddle led the team with 14 points while Payton Holt was second with five points.
The offense was more successful overall and balanced against Boyd, pulling away in the second half. Hanna Bell led the team with 13 points while Holt was second with eight points and Lanie Moore had seven points.
