Baseball
The Saint Jo Panthers plate their double-header on Monday against Lindsay.
The Knights won the first game 5-0 before the Panthers turned things around in the second game to win 7-6.
Saint Jo’s bats were not popping the first game as the team had six hits and one walk while striking out 10 times.
Collin Thomas did well to give up only five runs (four earned) on 11 hits while striking out seven.
The defense behind him helped committing only one fielding error in the game.
The second game saw the Panthers get out to a lead with a four run inning in the second. They added three runs in the fourth and fifth inning combined and held off a furious Linday comeback in the final inning to win.

The Saint Lady Panthers had a tough week playing Lindsay and Era.
The Lady Knights won 25-2 on Monday and the Lady Hornets won both games of Wednesday’s double-header 27-0 and 16-2.

Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.

Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.

“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”

Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.

Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.

After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.

Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
