The Bowie Lady Rabbits season came to an end in the area round of the playoffs on Thursday night against Wall.
The Lady Hawks won 3-1 against the Lady Rabbits.
Bowie came into the set hoping it could upset a Wall team with only six losses on the season after a solid performance against Millsap in the bi-district round.
The first set did not go the Lady Rabbits way as the Lady Hawks showed why they have had so much success this season, winning 25-14.
The second set saw Bowe adjust.
“We started to read them better defensively and get in a groove,” Coach Ashley Sanders said.
It took everything including going to extra points, but in the end the Lady Rabbits came out on top 28-26 to tie the match back up at 1-1.
The third set was more of the same as neither team could pull away for most of the set. Unfortunately, at the end of the set Wall was able to get some momentum and pull away, closing out the set to win 25-19 and take a 2-1 lead.
Bowie would need to win the next two sets to win the match and it proved it could do that if it played well. The fourth set proved to be another one where it was back and forth throughout most of it.
In the end, it could have gone either way, but unfortunately the Lady Hawks pulled away at the end, winning by the smallest of margins 25-23 to win the match 3-1.

Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears season came to an end against Avery on Thursday night in the area round.
The Lady Bears lost in straight sets against the Lady Bulldogs.
Avery won with set scores being 25-13, 25-4 and 25-12.
Coach Cheryl Cromleigh thought her team came into the match even more nervous than its previous match. The Lady Bulldogs fed off that nervousness and never let the Lady Bears get comfortable with big attacks from its top outside hitter.
Still, despite the loss it was one of the best seasons in program history. Gold-Burg’s two wins against county rival Prairie Valley, including in the play-in game to get second place, stands as a highlight the program has been aiming for for years.

Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs fell to state-ranked Dodd City on Thursday night in the area round of the playoffs to end their season.
The Lady Hornets won in straight sets, but the Lady Bulldogs did a good job of making them earn it in each set.
The set scores were 25-14, 25-17 and 25-15.
It was a disappointing result for a season with a lot of changes to it though it did have some positives.
Anytime a program loses an all-state player it is tough to replace that production. It’s even harder for small schools like Prairie Valley, but the program showed it was more than just one player with its level of play not dropping too far off in the regular season.
