The Bowie Lady Rabbits won their first road game of district play at City View on Friday to stay undefeated in their first three games.
The Lady Rabbits won in straight sets against the Lady Mustangs, but each set ended up being close down the stretch. The first set was the closest for Bowie as they had to pull out all the stops to pull off the 26-24 win in extra points.
The second and third sets did not have quite the drama as the first, but the Lady Rabbits still had to execute down the stretch to close them out as they won 25-22 and 25-21 to win the match.
Abby Zamzow led the team with 10 kills, two aces and was second with 14 assists. Landra Parr led the team with 17 assists and was second with 11 digs.
Hope Howard and Lexi Kirkham each had two blocks, while Kirkham was second with eight kills. Maddie Baker led the team with 13 digs.
Bowie has started off district 3-0. After getting challenged by Henrietta by getting taken to five sets to open up district, the Lady Rabbits have taken care of business against Childress and City View in straight sets.
This week will not be so easy. They will face arguably two of the top teams in district back-to-back as they will have traveled to Holliday on Tuesday before playing rival Nocona at home on Saturday at noon.

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.
