The Bowie Jackrabbits lost another tough road district game at Iowa Park on Friday.
The Hawks won 48-14 against the Jackrabbits in a game where Bowie was hoping to compete better and potentially get its first district win.
The Jackrabbits struggled to slow down Iowa Park’s running offense all game, forcing no punts and the only stop all night came on Bowie’s defense forcing the only turnover of the game when safety Hunter Rodriguez intercepted a pass.
Hawk quarterback Parker Allen ran and passed for more than 100 yards each and accounted for four touchdowns on the night.
Iowa Park scored two touchdowns in every quarter but the third and led 27-0 at halftime.
The team played better in the second half as Bowie’s running offense was able to finish some drives after moving the ball but stalling out on all of its drives in the first half.
Jax Johnston scored on a 13-yard run in the third quarter to put the Jackrabbits on the board while Justin Clark scored on a short run in the fourth quarter to finish another drive positively.
It was not enough to get back into the game as Iowa Park won 48-14.
Bowie had more than 200 yards rushing as a team, finishing with 211 yards and dominated time of possession. Clark led the team with 97 yards on the ground while Johnson was second with 61. Rayder Mann completed six of his passes for 62 yards when called to throw the ball.
Coach Tyler Price did not think the team’s offense did a good job of continuing drives despite moving the ball successfully most of the night.
On defense, Price wants the team to play complementary football more than it has so far this season.
“When one position group plays good one week, another does not and then it changes the next week,” Price said. “Our defense needs to play more as one cohesive unit.”
