Lady Rabbits win at Godley thanks to defense
The Bowie Lady Rabbits traveled to Godley on Tuesday night coming back from the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Lady Rabbits were able to beat the Lady Cats 45-30 thanks in large part to their defensive play in the second half.
The first quarter was competitive as Bowie mostly scored inside, with Hope Jones scoring seven of the team’s 11 points. Godley made two three-pointers and only trailed 11-10 heading into the second quarter.
The points came from the perimeter more as the Lady Cats made two more three-pointers.
For the Lady Rabbits, scoring came from the bench as Landra Parr, Taygon Jones and Camberley Gunter combined to score 10 of the teams points. Godley led at halftime 23-21.
The second half saw Bowie come out with more defensive intensity, especially in the third quarter.
The offense kept on its steady pace as Abbi Gamblin scored seven of the team’s 11 points.
The Lady Cats only scored two points as a team from free throws as the Lady Rabbits retook the lead. Bowie led 32-25 heading into the fourth quarter.
The offense did not pick up for Godley in the fourth while the Lady Rabbits extended its lead to double digit to pull away.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
