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.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.
