While the 2015 Bowie High School football team was characterized by a high-powered offense, the 2016 Jackrabbits have a different tone.
This maroon-clad bunch has taken a liking to defense, and the Jackrabbits held District 2-3A-I rival Boyd to one touchdown in a convincing 34-7 victory this past Friday.
Bowie finally leveled its record at .500 (3-3), 1-0 in the district. It marked the Jackrabbits first win in Boyd since 2008.
Bowie’s defense allowed the Yellowjackets 163 total yards.
“The defense has been the story of our season,” Bowie head coach Dylan Stark said. “We’re not allowing opponents to score any points. The kids have been consistent and coachable. They’ve done a great job.”
Bowie keyed on Garrett Moran, doubling him when lined up at wide receiver and then putting an extra player inside the tackle box during running scenarios.
Meanwhile, the Jackrabbit offense was fueled by the big play as Brandon Hutto and Gage Posey ran roughshod over Boyd with long-distance touchdown rushes.
Overall, the Jackrabbits amassed 402 yards, and the team may have finally found its identity on offense with an array of rushers. Read more, and see statistics and district standings, in the Oct. 12 Bowie News.

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.
