Jackrabbits beat Hirschi 36-29
The Bowie Jackrabbits won their opening home game of the season on Tuesday night playing a Hirschi team still devoid of their football talent.
The Jackrabbits won the low-scoring game 36-29, but felt in control of the Huskies who were playing from behind for most of the game.
Bowie was coming into the game following their opening season loss against Glen Rose 45-37 and still a lot of things to figure out.
The Jackrabbits not only return only one starter, who is still coming back from an ankle injury from football, but also only four players with varsity experience.
Add in new Coach Ryan Dykes and the team is still finding out about each other on almost every level.
Still, Bowie came out with a lot more energy and that sparked its early 7-2 lead in the first quarter.
Hirschi closed the quarter by tying the score at 7-7 in a game where the pace only improved a little.
The Jackrabbits pulled away in the second quarter. The Bowie team adjusted well when the Huskies switched to an aggressive 3-2 zone and made them pay by knocking in two 3-pointers.
The Jackrabbits lead extended to 23-14 heading into halftime as they kept Hirschi’s offense from getting anything going.
Despite having a good offensive quarter, Bowie would not keep it up in the second half.
Some sloppy turnovers in the third quarter and the team playing at a slower pace with the lead in the fourth quarter meant the Jackrabbits did not combine to score more in the second half than they did in the second quarter alone.
Still, Bowie’s defense remained consistent in stifling Hirschi all game, with the Huskies never scoring more than eight points like they did in the third quarter.
The Jackrabbits won the defensive battle 36-29.
Andrew Sandhoff and Boston Farris both had a game high nine points to lead the team while Gaige Goodman was second with seven points.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
