The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team opened their district season with a win over Montague County rival Nocona by a 68-50 margin.
It was the Nocona Indians who ended the first quarter ahead on the scoreboard 18-15, but things unraveled for the Indians in the second quarter when the Rabbits outscored them by 16 points.
“Nocona is always a rival game and tough, we know they have some good players,” said Bowie head coach Doug Boxell. “But we are happy to get that first district win under our belt.”
Daniel Mosley led the Rabbit offense, sinking 30 points and ending with a whopping 20 rebounds.
“Daniel was a very physical presence for Bowie. He was able to finish shots around the rim,” said Nocona head coach Bret Botard. “He was certainly a great inside force.” Read more, and see the complete box score, in the Dec. 24 Bowie News.

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.
