Lady Rabbits fall to Vernon 55-39

Allie Parr scored seven points for Bowie, including this breakaway layup in transition.

The Bowie Lady Rabbits lost another tough district game on Friday against Vernon.
The Lady Lions won 55-39 against a Lady Rabbits team that struggled against their physicality.
Bowie came into the game hoping to get its first district win. Vernon only had one district win so far, so the Lady Rabbits were hoping Friday night would be the time.
Bowie was still without its leading scorer Ziba Robbins, but with more experience playing without her maybe it would all come together.
Unfortunately, the Lady Lions press defense seemed to give the Lady Rabbits problems right from the beginning. Turnovers were not just an issue, it was the type of turnovers that led straight to points in transition.
Bowie only had offensive success with some quick hitting out of bounds plays, which was not enough to keep up as the Lady Rabbits were down 18-7.
Bowie played better in the second quarter. Offensively it was the best stretch of the game for the Lady Rabbits as five different players scored at least one basket, all inside the 3-point arc. Bowie scored twice the amount of points in the first quarter. Unfortunately, defensively the Lady Rabbits were still having trouble.
The team was trying to faceguard Vernon’s best player to prevent the ball from finding her within the flow of the offense and just frustrating her. Still, the Lady Lions found offensive success, drawing contact to getting to the free throw line while also crashing the offensive glass for second and third chances.
Vernon led 30-21 at halftime, but Bowie was within range of coming back if it could keep up the offensive success while finding a way to stop the Lady Lions on defense.
Unfortunately, that did not happen.
The Lady Rabbits offense stalled to scoring in single digits with only two made field goals, though the team was able to get to the free throw line after no attempts in the first half.
Vernon’s offense kept on finding success, with two made 3-pointers being thrown into the mix. The Lady Lions lead grew to double-digits again, up to 46-29 heading into the fourth quarter.
While Bowie’s defense limited Vernon in the final period, the Lady Rabbits couldn’t score enough to come back, even with the team getting to the free throw line more than they had all game.
Bowie only outscored the Lady Lions 10-9 in the fourth quarter as Vernon won comfortably 55-39.
