The Lady Rabbits finish second at tournament in Lubbock
The Bowie Lady Rabbits had a good showing in their second tournament last week.
The Lady Rabbits went 3-1, losing only in the championship game to finish second overall at Roosevelt’s Cottonfield Classic in Lubbock.
Bowie first played 2A school Hale Center. It was a close game in the first half as the Lady Rabbits led by only two points. Bowie made adjustments on defense to limit the Lady Owls in the third quarter and ended up winning 59-50.
Laney Segura led the team with 17 points, Parker Riddle had 12 points and Payton Holt scored 11 points.
Bowie next played 3A school Lubbock Roosevelt. It was a close game as the Lady Rabbits trailed at halftime. Bowie made some defensive adjustments in the second half and was able to win 43-34. Hanna Bell led the team with 12 points and Segura was second with nine points.
The Lady Rabbits played 2A school New Deal on Friday. Bowie trailed after a low-scoring first half, but again were able to make some adjustments to give it a push in the third quarter to get the lead. The Lady Rabbits were then able to hold onto that lead in the fourth quarter and won 40-32.
Riddle led the team with nine points while Laney Enlow and Bell each had eight points.
The win put Bowie into the championship game on Saturday where it played 3A school Coahoma. The Lady Rabbits had trouble scoring in the first half and fell behind by double-digits. Second half adjustments led to a different third quarter for Bowie once again.
Unfortunately it was not enough to catch back up. The Lady Rabbits ran out of time in the fourth quarter and lost 37-30. Riddle led the team with 11 points while Segura was second with nine.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
