Lady Rabbits lose at City View
Despite a good start the Bowie softball team lost at City View on Tuesday.
The Lady Mustangs won 16-1 in four innings due to run rule.
The Lady Rabbits started the game well in the first inning. Kenzie Short led off with a single to left field. She then successfully stole second base.
City View’s throw to second went awry, which allowed Short to score and give Bowie a 1-0 lead.
Despite giving up a single and walk, pitcher Kaylie Kinney struck out three batters to get out of the first inning with the Lady Rabbits still in the lead.
The second inning Bowie failed to get any base runner on.
Then the Lady Mustangs bats came alive, scoring six runs on four walks, four fielding errors and one hit.
Down 6-1, the Lady Rabbits bats continued to struggle to get anything going in the third inning. City View scored three more runs to make it 9-1 on a two hits, a walk and an error heading into the fourth inning.
Bowie struggled to make much contact as all three batters struck out. The Lady Mustangs then ended the game early by scoring seven runs on seven walks, one hit and an error. City View won 16-1.
Short’s leadoff hit proved to be the only base runner the Lady Rabbits had all game.
On defense, the 13 walks and the seven fielding errors did more damage than the five hits given up.
Bowie is scheduled to end its season Friday against Breckenridge as the young team finishes a tough district schedule.
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.
