Lady Rabbits survive overtime against City View

Published

on

The Bowie Lady Rabbits survived at City View on Friday night as the game went to overtime.
The Lady Rabbits won by the narrowest of margins 52-50 to get their fourth straight district win.
Bowie knew Friday’s game against the Lady Mustangs would be a big one. City View came into the game with a 2-1 district record and some outside observers thought the team had a chance to jump the Lady Rabbits this year in the standings.
The game started out with Bowie getting the early advantage. The team was led by Addie Farris, who scored nine of the Lady Rabbits 14 points in the first quarter.
City View was not far behind scoring 10 points, but failed to capitalize on its eight free throw attempts in the quarter by making only half of them.
On the contrary Bowie was able to make its free throws in the second quarter, going 9-10 from the free throw line, scoring 14 points again and going up 28-22 at halftime.
The Lady Rabbits were without their starting post player Macon Chambers, who was out with an illness. City View’s best scorer Emarei Brandon plays primarily in the post. In the first half she scored eight points. In the third quarter she scored six points.
Fortunately for the Lady Rabbits, no one else on her team scored any in the third quarter. The team’s leading scorers Taygon Jones and Maddie Mandela combined to score all 11 of Bowie’s points as the lead grew to double-digits.
The Lady Rabbits led 39-28 heading into the fourth quarter.
The Lady Mustangs started to employ a press in their desperation to turn the game around. It was just the jolt they needed.
Bowie struggled a little bit, which led to some easy points for City View and turned the momentum around for the fourth quarter.
Brandon scored 12 of her game high 26 points in the final period as the young Lady Mustangs team feeding off their home crowd came back.
The Lady Rabbits held on for dear life as their leading scorers Jones, Mandela and Farris each scored one basket each during the quarter.
City View came back to tie the game up 46-46. Bowie did get a shot at the buzzer that Coach Matthew Miller could live with, but it missed and sent the game into overtime.
Despite all of the momentum being with City View in the previous quarter, the Lady Rabbits were able to regroup and get ready for the overtime period.
Bowie did a good job of forcing the Lady Mustangs to go away from Brandon as she did not score in overtime.
In the end both Farris and Jones scored one basket each and Jones knocked in both of her free throw attempts that proved to be the difference. Bowie held on to win the game by one basket 52-50.

Hill upgraded to Nocona AD

Nocona Independent School District officials looked inward for a new athletic director/head football coach, selecting Jeff Hill for the position.
Hill, who served last year as Nocona football’s offensive coordinator and also led the softball program to the playoffs for the first time in a while as its head coach, was upgraded to the role.
This came on the heels of former Athletic Director Blake Crutsinger, who served in the role the last four years, resigned in May.
For Hill, the choice to apply for the position was a no brainer. His one year in Nocona had impressed upon him and his wife that it was the place they would like to be long term.
“I’m looking for a town to raise my kids in and Nocona has treated my family really well,” Hill said. “There are some really good people. The kids work hard. Everything I am looking for in a hometown is right here in Nocona and I want to try and make it as best as it can be, especially through athletics.”
Before Nocona, Hill served as the athletic director at S&S Consolidated while also spending time at Hebron and Whitewright in his coaching career.
Hill expresses great respect for the departing Crutsinger and besides changing a few small things in how he personally wants to do things, he is not trying to come in with a sweeping restructuring of the whole athletic department.
The program had five of its six team sports make the playoffs, with volleyball playing in the regional final and the girl’s basketball team winning the state championship.
That along with two athletes competing at the state championship in cross country and track with one earning a gold medal, it was one of the more successful school years in athletic program history.
“Coach Crutsinger was awesome and did a great job so honestly just little tweaks, a little bit of structure and cohesion amongst the coaching staff between boys and girls,” Hill said. “I hope to keep the winning tradition going overall in the athletic department.”
