The Bowie Jackrabbits had their early season test at Burkburnett on Tuesday and fell short against the Bulldogs.
Burkburnett won 78-47 against the Jackrabbits in the first game back from the holidays.
The Bulldogs always provide Bowie a big early season test in one crucial aspect, breaking the press. Burkburnett traditionally features a fierce full-court press defense along with platoon style substitutions and a bench that tries to be just as energetic as the ones on the floor.
Along with a raucous student section right behind the opponent’s basket and it’s a tough road game in the best of circumstances, let alone one coming back from the holiday break.
The first quarter was low-scoring and competitive with Bowie trailing 11-8. The pace increased in the second quarter and while the Jackrabbit offense got going a bit more, it was the Bulldogs who exploded.
Burkburnett scored 28 points in the second quarter alone and led 39-22 at halftime.
Even in the second half Bowie could not slow down the Bulldogs as they scored 23 points in the third quarter to extend their lead even more.
With the game in hand, the fourth quarter was a more even affair which meant the Jackrabbits could not make up much of the deficit.
Burkburnett won 78-47.
Andrew Sandhoff led the team with 12 points while Brady Lawhorn was second with eight points.
Tucker Jones and Boston Farris each had seven to help the team.

The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.

Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.

Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.

Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.

He originally had never planned on coaching golf.

“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
