One of the main points of discussion at Monday’s Bowie Booster Club meeting was naming coordinators for winter sports.
Coordinators handle assigning workers to the concession stand for various events, including basketball.
Julie Ogle will serve as the coordinator for high school girls’ basketball and Koni Jones for high school boys.
Mendy Jones has been named coordinator for junior high girls’ basketball and Diane Weber and Mandy Pullen for junior high boys’ basketball.
During the meeting, Bowie head cross country coach Chuck Hall asked the boosters if they had received more entry fees, and if the Rabbit Run on Sept. 28 was a profitable venture.
The boosters said they are still receiving checks.
Baseball coach Ryan Rogers appreciated everyone’s help with the fall baseball tournament which took place last week.
There was a T-shirt drive this past week for playoff volleyball.
Jaimie Hickey, a junior high school volleyball and high school assistant, was presented for “Meet the Coach.” Hickey is a native of Eastland who has worked in the Bowie Independent School District for the past several years.
Like last year, Bowie’s powerlifting team will open the season with a meet at home. The meet has been scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 7, 2017. Bowie also will be the site of a girls’ regional meet later on in the season. Read more in the Oct. 29 Bowie News.

Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.

Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.

“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”

Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Nocona came into game two of its Class 2A Division I bi-district series with Archer City looking to rebound from a 17-0 loss in game one.

The Lady Indians took a quick lead but the Lady ‘Cats had too much in the tank and knocked Nocona out of the playoffs courtesy of a 13-3, five-inning victory winning the best of three series, 2-0.

Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.

Archer City prevented further damage by retiring the next two hitters. The Lady ‘Cats struck in the bottom of the inning for seven runs.

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.

Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.

After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.

Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
