The Bowie Lady Rabbits played in their final tournament last week at Poolville.
The Lady Rabbits went 3-2 at the tournament ahead of starting district play later this week.
Bowie started the tournament with a rematch against Windthorst. The state-ranked 2A team had narrowly beaten the Lady Rabbits at their hosted tournament back before Thanksgiving.
It was another competitive game that came down to the wire. Unfortunately, the Lady Trojans came out on top by one basket in the low scoring game 36-34.
Ziba Robbins led the team with 13 points.
Bowie bounced back in its second game playing Bethesda Christian. The Lady Rabbits beat the private school by 50 points 79-29 in a game where everyone got to play a lot of the game.
Robbins again led the team in scoring, putting up a season high 28 points. Maddie Mandela joined her in double-figures scoring 12 points.
Bowie’s worst game of the tournament came in its loss to Paradise.
The Lady Cats won a one-sided game 45-20 as the Lady Rabbits struggled to score any points throughout.
Bowie then played tournament host Poolville. The Lady Rabbits rode a hot first quarter into a one-sided win 69-39. Mandela scored 27 points to lead the team while Robbins was second with 19.
The final game of the tournament came against Tolar. Bowie took an early lead in the first quarter and never let the Lady Rattlers get close as it won comfortably 47-35.
Mandela led the team with 17 points and Robbins again was second scoring 13. Kayleigh Crow nearly joined them in double-figures scoring nine points.

Coming into the Jan. 30 District 9-2A battle between Nocona and Windthorst at Indian Gym, most fans expected a repeat performance of the first meeting, which the Indians won in overtime.

The Trojans had other ideas.

Playing a very aggressive style from the get-go, Windthorst took control early by using 82% shooting from the field to take a 15-point lead after one quarter. It would prove to be the difference in a 61-48 win over the Indians before a packed house.

Both teams are now 6-2 in district (Nocona 27-4 overall, Windthorst 20-6).

In the Jan. 31 battle between the boys basketball teams of Bowie and City View, the host Rabbits hung with the District 7-3A leaders for nearly a half but the Mustangs used their athleticism and speed to pull away in the second half of a 71-58 win.

Bowie is now 1-7 in district and 11-18 overall with City View goes to 7-1 and 15-6. Bowie Coach Ryan Dykes said his squad played hard for a while but needs to put together four quarters.

“I liked our start, our intensity from the tip,” Dykes said. “We did a good job rotating defensively and that seemed to rattle them early.”

Sy Parker wanted to celebrate her 16th birthday in a big way.

The Nocona sophomore did just that, pacing a big first quarter for the Lady Indians with 17 points and six rebounds. The hosts fed off of that and would end up cruising over Windthorst, 61-23 Friday afternoon.

Nocona ran its record to 22-7 and 8-1 in District 9-2A while Windthorst is now 12-12 and 6-3 in district. Lady Indian Coach Kyle Spitzer’s pregame want of playing fast came to fruition.

“We like to push the pace and we did that, most notably Sy,” Spitzer said. “When (Windthorst) went into a zone (defense), it slowed us down a bit.”
