The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team wrapped up summer league on Monday with games versus District 3A-8 rival Nocona as well as Alvord.
Kamryn Cantwell played for the first time this summer, and she helped lift the Lady Rabbits by the Lady Indians by two points.
And all indications are pointing to some competitive games between Bowie and Nocona this season.
These past few weeks have been busy for Bowie, which began with the Bridgeport league on Mondays and the Lady Rabbits triumphed at the Brock State Qualifying Tournament (SQT).
Winning the Brock SQT qualified Bowie for the state Texas Basketball Championships in the Metroplex last weekend – however the Lady Rabbits opted not to play.
“I think the kids are tired, and they are ready for a little bit of a break,” said Bowie head girls’ basketball coach Chuck Hall, entering his second season as skipper.
Another one of the exhaustive highlights this summer was Bowie’s participation in the Cache (Okla.) Summer Festival.

Many Prairie Valley fans had misgivings about taking state-ranked and defending Class A state champs Perrin Jan. 6, one fan saying “nothing good can come of this.”

The Bulldogs gave a solid showing against the visiting Pirates, staying close for more than three quarters before outside shooting by Perrin enabled the visitors to pull away in a 72-57 win.

Perrin looked to blow things out early, with a 5-0 lead in the opening minute before Sawyer Bray snapped the string. The Pirates went on an 8-0 run for a 13-2 lead mid-quarter.

Prairie Valley’s Trae Campbell showed what kind of night it would be by getting inside for baskets. Jarrett Horton’s 3-pointer capped a 4-of-11 shooting frame for the ‘Dogs, who were down 19-11 after eight minutes.

Several Bowie turnovers in the opening moments Friday night enabled visiting Holliday to get out to a 10-2 lead. The Eagles then used a third quarter offensive explosion for a 72-27 win over the host Rabbits.

Four turnovers in the first 90 seconds hurt the Rabbits, Holliday took advantage and broke things wide open. Holliday led 10-2 with Tyler Richey coming through with the only Bowie points. Cason Airington’s 3-pointers ended a 3-of-8 shooting frame for the Rabbits, which were down 17-8 after one quarter.

Bowie’s shooting continued going downhill into the second quarter, the Rabbits missing all five shots. A free throw by Richey midway through the frame would be the only point. Holliday outscored Bowie 13-1 in the second frame to take a 30-9 lead at the half.

The Visitors opened the third quarter on a 12-1 run, over the first nearly three minutes of the third. Both teams had their best scoring quarters in the third.
