STORM CENTER: Hoops season is over
On Tuesday night, Dallas Faith Family defeated the Bowie High School boys’ basketball team 39-32 in the season finale.
After the game, it was shown even boys shed tears.
Norman Vaughan, father of Bowie player Zeke Vaughan, consoled his son after the game. The same could be said for Chase Hall embracing his mother, Lynn Hall.
In the science fiction show “Doctor Who,” before the lead character regenerates from one man to another, actor Tom Baker says, “It’s the end, but the moment has been prepared for.”
Unfortunately, no one can prepare for the end of the basketball game, or a career for that matter.
Six Bowie senior boys – Kaden Ogle, Tilghman Parr, Trace Hardee, Cade Roth, Hall and Vaughan – have left an indelible impression on the program.
“Those six senior boys have been leaders,” Bowie head coach Doug Boxell said. “They’ve set the example. They left a good footprint, and shown the others how to be successful.”
Boxell said the players made some incredible memories, advancing to the regional quarterfinals in each of the past two years.
It’s unclear what the future will bring for these seniors, but there’s a good chance one, or maybe two of them, will play college hoops. I wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Read more from this column in the March 5 Bowie News.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
