Lady Rabbits play final tournament at Poolville
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.

The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.
Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.
Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.
Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.
He originally had never planned on coaching golf.
“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
