Bowie tennis loses at Wichita Falls
The Bowie tennis team traveled to play at Wichita Falls High School on Tuesday.
The 4A Coyotes wrapped up the win 10-2 before a lightning delay and a lack of lighting caused an early ending to the duel before all matches had been finished.
It also was the first match of the season for Bowie where all matches were best two out of three format instead of pro-sets to eight.
The Jackrabbits’ two wins came from their girl’s doubles teams. The second position team made up of Laney Enlow and Alyssa Airington won their match in dominant fashion 6-2, 6-1 to win in straight sets 2-0.
The third position girl’s doubles team of Caysen Lathan and Gentry Gray had a bit tougher time. After losing a close first set 7-5, the team was able to win set two 6-4 to force a third-set, 10 point super tie-break. They were able to win the set 10-8 and the match 2-1.
The closest other completed match that almost won was the third position boy’s doubles team of Alex Castro and Brooks Gray. After losing the first set 6-4, the team rallied to dominate set two 6-2 to force a super tie-break. Unfortunately, the team ran out of momentum and lost 10-4 to lose the match 2-1.

Bass tournament winners upset two-time champions
The full week of Jim Bowie Days Celebrations started on Saturday with the bass tournament at Lake Amon G. Carter.
The bass tournament was the start of the day and had 23 teams compete. By the time of weigh-ins, 14 teams brought in fish to be weighed.
The overall winner was the team of Rick and Cody Green. The pair had a total of 11.58 pounds to take first place. It all came from one fish as well, so they also took home first place for the big bass award.
They finished just ahead of the team Casey and Jimmy Smith, whose one fish was just a bit lighter at 11.50 pounds in both total and big bass competitions.
It was extra special for the Greens since the team had finished second the previous year, beaten by the Smith team who were seeking their third straight first place title at the JBD Bass Tournament.
Third place went to the team of Doug Covington and Melanie Mack. They tied with three other teams with the most caught fish, ending the day with four caught. Their total was just short as well, weighing in at 11.48 pounds. Their biggest fish caught at 6.81 pounds was also the third biggest caught of the day.
