Lady Rabbits take first at WFHS Invitational
The Bowie Lady Rabbits snagged the team gold medal at the Wichita Falls High School Invitational on Sept. 27.
Abby Zamzow led with a second-place individual finish and a time of 14:19.80. Bowie’s Landra Parr (15:48.83) and Desarai Reyes (15:49.91) finished neck-and-neck in sixth and seventh place.
“Abby ran really well and, we were pretty good overall,” said Bowie Lady Rabbits Cross Country Coach Chuck Hall. “Landra continued to get better, Desarai has been running really well, and so has Brysen Richey. Kylie Brightwell came in and has run really well in her first season with us. We beat Burkburnett at the meet who is a highly reputable team and it was a big win for us beating them.”
Meanwhile, the Jackrabbits finished the day with a fifth place showing against larger schools. Alex Shelton ran a 18:48.17 for an 18th place individual finish, followed closely behind by Syd Mayfield in 20th place with a time of 19:08.74. Riley Harris crossed the finish line at 20:09.23 to earn the 32nd spot out of a group of 74 individual runners.
“Alex and Sid did well, and I am pleased with the way the rest of our guys are fighting through the adversity they have this week,” said Bowie High School Cross Country Coach Jonathon Horton. “The pace of this event was good for our guys to see, the larger schools had a much faster first mile than we are used to.”
The junior varsity team also competed well at the Wichita Falls High School Invitational, taking sixth place with a 19th individual finish from Ignacio Saucedo (20:13.50), 28th place finish from Kawlyer Swearingin (20:43.84) and a 32nd place finish from Brock Neese (20:59.46).

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.
