The Bowie Jackrabbits went on an undefeated run at their first tournament to win the championship.
The Jackrabbits went 4-0 at the Roosevelt’s Cottonfield Classic in Lubbock, playing teams they are unfamiliar with as coaches wanted to get outside of the Wichita Falls bubble.
Bowie played 2A school Floydada and beat down the Whirlwinds 70-35. Adam Pickett led the team with 18 points while Rayder Mann was right behind him with 15 points. Nick Salazar and Gaige Goodman each had 10 points as well.
The Jackrabbits played 3A school Coahoma in a game that was a bit closer, though Bowie led the whole time and the Bulldogs’ later push made the final score closer than it actually was 58-42.
Boston Farris and Mann led the team with 15 points apiece while Goodman added 12 points.
The third game the Bowie News did not receive a score or stats from the coach, but the team did win the game.
The win put the Jackrabbits into the championship game where they played 2A school Hale Center. Bowie’s defense limited the Owls to only eight points in the first half which allowed the Jackrabbits to build a big lead and run away with the game. Bowie won easily 57-35 to secure the tournament championship.
Mann led the way with 27 points in three quarters while Tyler Richey had seven points.
