BISD facilities a strong community asset

Published

By ERIC VICCARO

When voters passed a bond to build a new Bowie High School in 2007, the impact of such a wise decision has reverberated ever since.

That’s because Bowie has become a destination for high school playoff games and regional tournaments.

This past winter, Iowa Park’s Keaton Jackson hit the game-winning shot in a Conference 4A bi-district game between the Hawks and Mineral Wells.

“It was a good moment for us,” said Payton Jackson, Iowa Park head boys’ basketball coach. “It’s nice to get a win in Bowie. The gym is beautiful, and you can tell Bowie is a big basketball community.”

Jackson said he likes the layout of the high school gymnasium, with fans above courtside.

Iowa Park also plays in Bowie’s regular-season tournament, and the Hawks have visited here in the summer for league play.

Saint Jo crew works all night to repair 8-inch water main

Marty Hilton and his crew with City of Saint Jo Public Works pulled an all nighter repairing an eight-inch water main break along U.S. 82 and Boggess Street. The break was reported around noon on Wednesday. City officials said one of the hardest parts was digging on U.S. 82 and when large trucks would go by the vibrations kept making the walls fall down causing them to be dug out again. The repair was completed at 10:30 a.m. Thursday and the water turned back on. The city is under a boil order until the water tests are complete, which can’t happen until Monday when the lab reopens.
