Bowie football blows out Dublin
The Bowie Jackrabbits had their second straight blowout win where their offense blew the doors off of opponent Dublin on the road on Friday night.
The Jackrabbits won 69-28, equaling the second highest point total in program history according to Coach Tyler Price.
Bowie was coming into the game fresh off a big win on homecoming against Howe. Dublin was still searching for its first win of the season and was hoping to get it on its homecoming on Friday.
The Lions started off well, striking first with a touchdown pass in the red zone to take the lead 6-0.
The Jackrabbits answered back on the ground in their next three offensive drives. Tyler Richey scored on a 25-yard run to give Bowie the lead it would never give up. Then Justin Clark scored on back-to-back 21-yard touchdown runs to put Bowie up 21-6.
Despite the final score and how the game was going in the first quarter, Dublin showed some fight in the second quarter. The Jackrabbits extended their lead even more early in the quarter when Rayder Mann connected with Braden Rhyne on a 30-yard touchdown pass to go up 28-6.
The Lions came back and scored on their next two drives. Another was on a short pass near the goal line and the other was a 39-yard touchdown pass. This cut Bowie’s lead down to one score, leading 28-21 and with Dublin threatening to make it a game.
The Jackrabbits were able to get some breathing room and some of their momentum back before halftime. After getting stifled on its previous two drives, Bowie was able to drive down the field and Mann was able to squirm his way in from two yards out for a touchdown.
The Jackrabbits went into halftime up 35-21.
Bowie came out of halftime determined to not let that stretch in the second quarter continue. The Jackrabbit defense was able to make some adjustments and pitched a second half shutout for the third time this season.
Meanwhile, the Bowie offense continued to pile on the points.
Clark started the second half by scoring on a 38-yard run. The next drive, Mann connected with Rhyne on a 74-yard touchdown pass. Mann then found some room to score on a 34-yard run.
Unfortunately, the end of the third quarter ended on a bit of a down note for Bowie. The Jackrabbits fumbled the ball away and Dublin was able to recover the ball and return in 75 yards for a touchdown. It was the Lions only score of the second half and cut the lead to 56-28 heading into the fourth quarter.
Bowie did not let that mistake affect the team for long. On the ensuing kickoff, a pooched kick was returned by Clark, who capped off his great night with a 70-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to start the final period.
The Jackrabbit started to pull starters and call less aggressive offensive plays with the game in hand. It still did not prevent Richey, playing quarterback with the second team, from scoring on a 55-yard run in the fourth quarter.
This would make the final score 69-28 for Bowie.
