Bowie races at Graham in last pre-district meet
The Bowie High School cross country teams competed in the smaller Graham Invitational on Oct. 1 in the last race before district competition.
Despite the smaller race with only four schools competing, the course provided a challenge with numerous hills to ready the runners for the upcoming district meet.
The Bowie Jackrabbits were solid at Graham with four top 10 finishes. Alex Shelton paced the Jackrabbits with a sixth-place finish (19:51) with Syd Mayfield right behind in seventh place (20:09).
Daniel Mosley crossed the finish line in ninth place (20:20) while Trevor Vann rounded out the top 10 (20:35).
In the junior varsity category, Taylor Pigg raced to a fifth place finish (20:34), Kawlyer Swearingin finished eighth (21:26) and Braden Armstrong came in at ninth (21:49.59).
“I was proud of our results today,” said Bowie Jackrabbits Coach Jonathon Horton. “I am looking forward to seeing this group compete at District next week.”
The Lady Rabbits were led by Abby Zamzow who finished in second place with a time of 13:52. Ali Frie raced her way to a 10th place finish with a time of 15:24, followed by Sage Bullock in 14th place with a time of 15:47. Landra Parr and Desrai Reyes, who have been top runners for the team in the last weeks, were out sick but will return for district.

Jackrabbits
A day after football season ended and the Bowie boy’s basketball team played its first game of the season and is working towards a new goal this season.
The Jackrabbits lost that first game against Sanger on Nov. 9, 70-36 before bouncing back a few days later after some practice to beat Bridgeport on Nov. 12, 56-51.
Bowie comes into this season after falling just short of making the playoffs last season.
The team graduated two of its three double-digit scorers along with an experienced post player from its starting rotation last season.
Rayder Mann is the team’s most proven scorer from last season, but other players will be counted on to step up according to Coach Ryan Dykes, who enters his second season at Bowie.
“Rayder Mann and Bradly Horton will need to be the floor generals for us to be successful,” Dykes said. “Boston Farris will be counted on to be a productive player and Gaige Goodman will need to be a factor in the paint on both the offensive and defensive end.”
In the first game against Sanger, Mann led the team with 13 points while Goodman was second with eight points.
The offense was much better overall against Bridgeport. Horton had 15 points, Mann had 14 points and Farris had nine points as Bowie scored in double-digits in every quarter of the game.
Lady Rabbits
In the second week of the season the Bowie Lady Rabbits had up and down performances.
The Lady Rabbits lost at Bridgeport on Nov. 9, 68-30 but bounced back to win at home on Nov. 12 against Boyd 55-42.
Against Bridgeport, Bowie gave up too many three-pointers on defense as the Sissies made 12 in the game.
It was too much for the Lady Rabbits to keep up with.
Parker Riddle led the team with 14 points while Payton Holt was second with five points.
The offense was more successful overall and balanced against Boyd, pulling away in the second half. Hanna Bell led the team with 13 points while Holt was second with eight points and Lanie Moore had seven points.
