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.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
