Both Bowie teams lose at City View
The Bowie Jackrabbits got outscored at City View on Tuesday night to drop their first district game.
The Mustangs won the high-scoring game 80-57 as the Jackrabbits just could not stop City View.
Bowie came into the game with a 3-0 district record, with two of the games being won by one basket and the other by 10 points.
The Mustangs have won every game against the Jackrabbits the last three seasons, including three times last year which included the playoffs where City View ended Bowie’s season in the regional quarterfinals.
The Mustangs came into the game with a 1-1 district record, coming off a loss against Vernon.
The Jackrabbits started the game and kept it up scoring well. Bowie scored 12 points or more in every quarter and even finished with 20 points in the fourth quarter while having three players finish in double-digits in scoring.
Unfortunately, City View started off white hot and barely slowed down at all as the game went along.
The Mustangs were up 24-12 after the first quarter and 45-25 at halftime. City View’s lead grew in the third quarter to 65-37 before the Jackrabbits could make up a little ground. Bowie outscored the Mustangs 20-15 in the final period.
City View won 80-57.
Girls
The Bowie Lady Rabbits were hoping to go into City View and get an upset looking for their first district win.
Unfortunately, the Lady Mustangs won 47-28 as the Lady Rabbits continue to search for that elusive win.
Bowie came into the game as underdogs, with a 0-4 district record. The Lady Rabbits have shown at times they can be competitive if their defense can keep the score low. Bowie has struggled to score since its leading scorer Ziba Robbins has missed all of district play.
City View came into the game with a 3-1 district record, with its loss coming against a surprisingly good Jacksboro team. The Lady Mustangs were a pre-season favorite to be district champs since the third place team from last year graduated few players.
The Lady Rabbits started the game unfortunately with a familiar problem, being unable to score many points. Bowie scored only six points in the first half and trailed 22-6 at halftime.
The Lady Rabbits came out in the second half and more than doubled their first half total with 14 points as six different players scored two points or more in the most idealized scenario for this team.
Unfortunately, City View scored at a similar pace as Bowie only outscored the Lady Mustangs 14-13 in the third quarter meaning the Lady Rabbits had an uphill battle down 35-20.
That was the biggest offensive stretch of the game for Bowie as the team scored only eight points in the fourth quarter.
The Lady Rabbits played hard until the end, but City View’s lead grew some more thanks to some 3-pointers and free throws made. The Lady Mustangs won 47-28.

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.
