The Bowie tennis team took on Graham at home on Tuesday afternoon right before the storm came.
The Jackrabbits lost to the Steers 16-3 in a dual that was tough in all of matches for Bowie.
The Jackrabbits just missed out on winning its first dual of the season the previous week against Hirschi. Playing another bigger and more experienced program like Graham on Tuesday, Bowie did not fair as well.
The winning matches for the Jackrabbits came in boys and girl’s doubles along with one girls’ singles match.
The number one girls’ doubles team, Heidi Siebert and Lily Hodges, won a tough match 8-6.
On the boys’ side, third position doubles team Alex Castro and Brooks Gray had to go to a tie-breaker and just barely escaped with a win 9-8.
The final victory of the day for Bowie came from Alyssa Airington in girl’s singles. Playing in the fourth position, she won a tight match 8-6 to give the Jackrabbits the third victory of the day.
Unfortunately, the team could not get any more wins on the board.

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.
