Lady Rabbits play in final tournament
The Bowie Lady Rabbits had a tough final tournament at Graham last weekend.
The Lady Rabbits went 0-6 during the three-day tournament as they tried to get some momentum going with nothing but a district schedule ahead of them.
Bowie first played Mineral Wells. The game only went to three innings due to tournament schedule restraints as the Lady Rams won 9-0. Serenity Klump got the only hit and stolen base for the Lady Rabbits while Rhyan Carle drew the only walk.
Bowie next played against Muenster in a game that went six innings. The Lady Hornets won 18-5. Sadie Britt led the team with two RBIs and she hit a home run. Chloe Kinney and Beau Combs each drove in one run.
On the second day of the tournament the Lady Rabbits played Archer City.
The Lady Cats won 18-3, winning in three innings due to the run-rule. Imala Walker drove in two runs with a double to lead the team offensively.
Against state-ranked Haskell, Bowie lost 15-2 against the Maidens. The game went four innings long.
Laci Goodwin drove in a run with a triple and then later scored on the base paths.
On the final day of the tournament, the Lady Rabbits played their most competitive games.
Against Springtown, Bowie lost 8-4. Walker led the team with two RBIs. Victoria Cox and Laney Oliver each drove in a run as well.
In the final game the Lady Rabbits played Brownwood. The Lady Lions won 11-7 after five innings. Bowie had five different players drive in one run and the team finished with 12 hits and six walks.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.
Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.
“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”
Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.
The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.
Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.
Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
