The Bowie Jackrabbits lost a tough one in overtime on the road Monday night at Whitesboro.
The Bearcats won by a single point 41-40 that tested the Jackrabbits in every facet.
Bowie was coming off a tough tournament at Graham where it faced several big schools. Whitesboro is a similarly sized one that is used to being among the top three in its district every season while playing with a lot of physicality.
The Jackrabbits started the game well, shutting down the Bearcats to only six points while offensively getting carried by emerging guard Rayder Mann. He scored 10 of Bowie’s 12 points in the quarter in every way, making all five of his free throw attempts, making a 3-pointer and a regular field goal.
The second quarter was more even and the Jackrabbits were able to keep a bit of their lead at halftime up 20-15.
Bowie had an offensive draught in the third quarter, scoring only four points. This allowed Whitesboro to have its best offensive stretch of the game, scoring 11 points to take the lead 26-24 heading into the fourth quarter.
The Jackrabbits played better in the fourth quarter and the teams were tied at 35-35 at the end of regulation.
In the final period, in the end it was the Bearcats making one more field goal then Bowie as both teams missed its free throw attempts in the high pressure overtime. Whitesboro won by one point 41-40.
Mann led the Jackrabbits with 15 points while Tucker Jones was second with nine and Andrew Sandhoff scored eight.

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 8^th 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 2^nd 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.
