Bowie volleyball wins home opener

Even with the season two and half weeks old, the Bowie Lady Rabbits played their first home game Tuesday night as they were tested by Millsap.
Fresh off a tough Glen Rose tournament where the Lady Rabbits played in the gold bracket, Bowie needed a tough match to keep sharp heading into their final tournament this weekend against bigger schools at Argyle.
The Lady Rabbits started the first set gaining an early 7-3 lead, but Millsap fought back to tie the score at 15-15. The Lady Bulldogs had a slight 21-19 lead winding down the first set, but Bowie was able to end the set strong, going on a 6-1 run to pull out the 25-22 win in the first set.
The second set started off with both teams exchanging blows. Millsap held a slight 8-7 lead, but then went on a 12-3 run on the strength of their service game as the Lady Rabbits had an issue trying to make that first pass and mounting any kind of offense.
The Lady Bulldogs held a 20-10 lead and it seemed like the set was a lost cause. Bowie made a valiant effort to come back, making Millsap have to take a timeout to make sure the Lady Rabbits did not gain too much momentum. Bowie ended up coming up short as the Lady Bulldogs ended up winning the set 25-19, but the momentum gained from making the set close ended up bleeding into the next one.
The beginning of the third set was similar to the second. This time the Lady Rabbits small 8-7 lead blossomed into a 19-11 lead due to good serves. Bowie did not let Millsap have any chance of coming back, scoring six straight points to close the set with a strangely one sided 25-11 win to put the Lady Rabbits up 2-1.
After strangely one sided second and third sets by both teams, the fourth set went back to a back and forth affair. The Lady Bulldogs had a small 8-7 lead before the score was tied 15-15. Millsap had a 4-1 five point run to give themselves a 19-16 lead as the set was winding down. With the Lady Bulldogs needing to win the set to force a fifth and final set, a three point lead late seemed huge.
Bowie got themselves going and even with Millsap calling a timeout to try and disrupt the momentum, the Lady Rabbit were one point away from winning in regulation 24-23. The Lady Bulldogs got the next point and the teams traded points as they were tied at 25-25. Bowie was able to secure the next two points to win the set 27-25 and the match 3-1.

Baseball Roundup

Nocona
The Nocona Indians picked up dominant wins against Chico in their series against the Dragons last week.
The Indians won both games 11-0 by run-rule after five innings to get their first district wins of the season.
Nocona was coming off losing both games against Lindsay the previous week in its first district series and bounced back in a big way.
In the first game at home last week, the Indians scored six runs in the first inning and five in the third inning which proved to be all the offense they needed.
Kutter Cabrera led the team with three RBIs while Miller Jentry was second with two RBIs. The team finished with nine hits and drew eight walks.
On the mound, Walker Murphey pitched a shut out while striking out seven and allowing three hits. Defensively, the team committed one fielding error.
The second game saw Nocona score all of its runs in the first three innings, highlighted by scoring six runs in the second inning.
Murphey hit a three-run home run to lead the team while Brody Langford and Landon Fatheree each had two RBIs.
On the mound RJ Walker had a big day, throwing a perfect four innings which means he did not allow a hit or walk anyone. He also struck out eight batters, which put him over 100 career strikeouts in high school. The defense committed no fielding errors.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers lost their series against Bryson last week.
The first game was a close 3-0 loss, but the second game was 11-0, done after four and half innings due to run-rule.
The Panthers were coming off close losses to Perrin-Whitt from the previous week. They were hoping they could turn their fortune around playing another 1A program.
Unfortunately in the first game, the Cowboys got off to a good start, scoring three runs in the first inning, with two coming with two outs due to an error and a dropped third strike.
Saint Jo’s pitching and defense tightened up after that to not allow another run in the final six innings. Unfortunately, the Panthers had only two hits and four base runners all game as they lost the close game 3-0.
Charlie Evans and Rylan Forrest had the only two hits for Saint Jo in the game as the team struck out 18 times. Trent Gaston ended the game allowing three runs (one earned) on six hits while striking out five batters and walking two in six innings of work. The defense committed five fielding errors.
Unfortunately, things did not go as well several days later in game two. Bryson scored three runs in both the first and second innings before scoring five runs in the third inning. Saint Jo was not able to get a hit and drew two walks in the game.
The Panther defense committed six fielding errors which led to only three of the 11 runs given up were earned by the pitching staff who gave up five hits, walked six and hit four batters.
Bellevue
The Bellevue Eagles played Perrin-Whitt last week in a series.
The Pirates won the first game 11-1 by run-rule and the second game score was not updated on Game Changer.
The Eagles were coming off one-sided losses to Bryson the previous week in their first district series and was hoping to play better.
Bellevue did get out to an early lead in the first inning. River Trail hit an RBI single in the top of the first inning to go up 1-0, which proved to be the highlight of the game.
Perrin-Whitt scored three runs in the first inning, one in the second inning, two in the fourth inning and five in the fifth inning to win 11-1.
