LOCAL: Boosters select Aug. 10 for ‘Meet the Rabbits’
The Bowie Athletic Booster Club has set Aug. 10 as the date for the annual “Meet the Rabbits.”
That was the decision made by the leadership group at its meeting on Monday in the Bowie High School Commons.
This will mean the “Meet the Rabbits” event will move from its previous Saturday evening slot to Thursday.
The event will start at 8 p.m. on Aug. 10, which will feature formal introductions for the high school football, volleyball and cross country teams.
There will be select games including tug-of-war, musical chairs and the traditional girls’ powder puff football games.
Tiny Garrett reportedly will be selling barbecue on site that night, and homemade ice cream will be available. The band also is expected to perform.
As the night rolls into Aug. 11, Bowie will have its “midnight madness” practice.
The Booster Club received thank-you cards from scholarship recipients Mackenzie Tole and Henslee Ogle.
Tentatively, the booster club has determined the 2018 All-Sports Banquet will take place on May 14, 2018.
Coordinators for concession stands were named in several sports, including Audra Price for high school football, Lori Price for junior high football and Shawn Villarreal for junior high volleyball.
The boosters have purchased a trailer for $1,700 to transport the inflatable run-through rabbit for away football games. A-Plus Signs will decorate the trailer in Rabbit regalia. The boosters still need to purchase a generator.
The membership drive will begin soon, with some changes.
Summer Eudey was officially installed as the new secretary, and the leadership group is set for 2017-18 with Jill Jones as president, Sean Baker vice president and Jessica Gresham treasurer.
All members of the board have new gmail.com email addresses.
The next booster club meeting has been set for 6 p.m. on July 17, and the introductory parents’ meeting will take place at 6 p.m. on July 25.
For information on the booster club, call Jill Jones at 1-940-366-1339 or email: Bowieboosterpresident@gmail.com.

Bellevue, in its first volleyball playoff game in school history, gave it a solid shot Saturday against Crowell but a powerful front court enabled the Lady ‘Cats to move on in the Class A playoffs with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-20, 25-18) win over the Lady Eagles.
Bellevue Coach Jamie Hickey was proud of her squad’s effort.
“We played how I expected for a team to play in their first ever playoff game,” Hickey said following the match at Iowa Park High. “Definitely some areas were noticed that need some work, but lots of room for growth and to build.”

In the playoffs, being consistent is even more important than the regular season.
Bowie’s consistency ebbed and flowed Oct. 30 in its bi-district volleyball matchup with Peaster. The Lady ‘Hounds were able to capitalize on that and wound up knocking the Lady Rabbits out of the postseason with a 3-0 (25-14, 25-11, 25-19) win at Graham High School.
Bowie Coach Ashley Sanders said her squad never completely got on track.
“When you get to this level, into the postseason, you have to find the rhythm and that consistency and Peaster definitely had that,” Sanders said. “We struggled to find our consistency. We had our moments where we tied together some really good plays.”
