Lady Rabbits host holiday tournament
The Bowie girl’s basketball program hosted its second Hoopin’ into the Holidays tournament this week on Monday and Tuesday.
Featuring eight other varsity programs, the Lady Rabbits went 3-1 during the two days.
Bowie kicked off the tournament against a familiar foe, Burkburnett. Having beaten the Lady Bulldogs the previous week, it still was surprising how one-sided the Lady Rabbits won. Bowie beat Burkburnett 66-20 as Camberley Gunter and Jasmine Jones each scored 13 points.
The Lady Rabbits second game on the first day went the same way as Bowie played Pilot Point. Bowie won 78-41 to wrap up a great first day. Abbi Gamblin led the team with 20 points and Hope Jones had 16.
While the Lady Rabbits were undefeated after the first day, Coach Joe Crabb wanted to see his team challenged in its first tournament. He got his wish on Tuesday against Muenster.
In a low scoring game that was competitive, the Lady Hornets handed Bowie its first loss of the tournament, winning 45-30. Jayci Logan and Jones each scored 10 points to lead the team.
The Lady Rabbits finished up the tournament with another challenging game against Alvord. The two teams battled back and forth, but Bowie came out on top 60-54. Jones led the team with 14 points and Gamblin joined her in double figures with 11.
Both Jones and Gamblin were named to the varsity all-tournament team at the end of it all.
The Lady Rabbits next travel to Godley to play at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 3.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
