The Bowie High School volleyball team knocked off the City View Lady Mustangs in their last game before facing Boyd, the undefeated district leader.
The Lady Rabbits defeated the visiting team by scores of 25-8, 25-19 and 25-16.
“I felt like we started fast in the first set- only allowing City View to score eight- then in the second and third set we seemed to lose some intensity and we allowed them to score 19 and 16,” said Head Coach Jeanie Stark. “It was a win and that’s the most important result.”
Overall, Bowie recorded a 95.9 serving percentage with seven aces, a skill that has improved throughout the season and should prove an advantage to the Lady Rabbits as they attempted to become the first team to beat Boyd last night.
“Ours serving has strengthened the past few weeks, 10 aces versus Nocona and seven verses City View. There’s only been one district match that we
haven’t served 95 percent or better as a team. Also, we are blocking better,” said Stark. Read more in the Oct. 8 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.
