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.

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, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
