Lady Rabbits lose to Holliday 15-0
The Bowie softball team lost at district power Holliday on Tuesday.
The Lady Eagles won 15-0 in four innings due to the run rule.
The Lady Rabbits led off the game with Kenzie Short drawing a walk to try and spark the offense. She successfully stole second base, but would then get caught trying to steal third base for the first out. Two strike outs followed.
The leadoff for Holliday drawing a walk came back to bite Bowie. Two outs followed, with the baserunner reaching third base.
A fielding error followed that allowed the runner to score as the Lady Eagles led 1-0. Pitcher Kaylei Kinney then struck out the next batter to end the inning before things could start to spiral.
Bowie almost had something great happen in the second inning. Stephanie Allen hit a double into right field in the hopes to spark a two-out rally. Allen tried to stretch it into a triple, but unfortunately, got thrown out for out three.
An error at second base allowed Holliday to get one base runner on. She was driven home as the next batter hit a triple into right field, making the score 2-0. A hit batter followed and it looked like the Lady Eagles were on the verge of scoring several runs.
Kinney recovered for Bowie. With two runners in scoring position, a strike out followed by a ground out to second base got the Lady Rabbits out of the inning in much better shape than it looked like it might be. That type of fortune was spent though.
All three Bowie batters were struck out to start the third inning. This time the Lady Eagles were able to score several runs thanks to four singles, one fielding error and one walk. Holliday led 6-0 heading into the fourth inning.
Short led off for Bowie and was again able to get on base, this time with a single into center field. Despite stealing second base several batters later, the next three batters were struck out to end the scoring chance.
The Lady Rabbits had done a decent job up that point from keeping a big explosive inning from the opponent from happening. Unfortunately, that inning came in the fourth inning.
Holliday scored nine runs on three hits, two walks, two hit batters and two fielding errors that ended the game early due to run rule. The Lady Eagles won 15-0.

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.
