HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Bowie crumbles Krum

Solid defense and sharing the basketball helped the Bowie High School boys’ basketball team to an opening-day victory on Wednesday, Nov. 23.
Seven different Jackrabbits scored at least six points and Krum didn’t score more than 10 points in a single quarter as Bowie trounced the Bobcats 57-34 at American Airlines Center in Dallas on Wednesday.
The game was made possible as part of the Dallas Mavericks’ Court of Dreams program.
“It’s the first game of the season, and I’m encouraged,” said Bowie head coach Doug Boxell, now in his fourth season piloting the Jackrabbits.
“At the start of the game, we did a poor job of blocking out,” Boxell noted. “But, once the kids started blocking out, we controlled the game.”
Bowie’s man-to-man defense was too much for Krum. The Jackrabbits took away the driving lanes, and they extended all the way to the 3-point arc.
Krum was limited to only two 3-point goals the entire game.
“I thought it would be a little bit closer,” Boxell said when asked about the 23-point margin of victory. “I was surprised it was double digits.”
On offense, Bowie boys found a way to get touches, and in turn, make the passing game work like a well-oiled machine.
“We had several post players get the paint, step up and finish strong,” Boxell said.
Daniel Mosley was Bowie’s leading scorer with 12 points. Dayton Shook added nine points, including eight in the second half alone. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the Nov. 26 Bowie News.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.
In its first match, the Lady Panthers bested Sam Rayburn in a b est-of-three match 2-1 (25-11, 23-25, 25-14.) In the opener, senior Tatum Morman staked the Lady Panthers to a 4-0 lead with help from Kamron Skidmore and Olivia Johnson kills. The Lady Rebels would come back and tie the game at seven.
Savannah Hill’s kill broke serve and allowed Abby Carter to string together seven points. An ace and a Hill kill helped keep the drive alive. Hill later rolled off six points in a row, helped by two aces, to go up 23-10. Sam Rayburn broke serve but Saint Jo finished the game with a single Morman point.
Sam Rayburn came right out of the gate firing in the second game leading 4-0. A single Carter point, thrown down by a Hill block, and Hill’s four-point skein put the Lady Panthers up 8-6. Sam Rayburn tied the game at eight.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.

After splitting the first two games with Vernon Northside, Bowie’s volleyball team turned things out and wound with a 3-1 match win (25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-17).
Molly Enlow used two aces amidst a four-point string to give the Lady Rabbits a 5-1 lead in game one. Senior KP Rutherford’s pair of points extended the lead to 8-3.
Northside cut the deficit to 10-11 before Rutherford’s kill broke serve.
Bella Culwell’s point, aided by an Ellie Mowery kill, put Bowie up 13-10. Northside tied the game at 13 before Rutherford came through with another pair for a 17-14 lead. Lillie Maddox also had a deuce for a 20-15 lead and force a Lady INdian timeout.
Northside broke serve but a Sophie Maddox block and Lillie Maddox three-point string gave the squad game point at 24-16. The squads exchanged side outs to end the game.
