Bowie boys close out first round of district with loss at Iowa Park
The Bowie Jackrabbits wrapped up the first round of district play with a tough loss at Iowa Park on Friday night.
The Hawks won 54-39, pulling away in the second half after tight play for two quarters.
The Jackrabbits came into the game with a 2-3 district record. After starting district on a string of close losses against Jacksboro, City View and Holliday by a combined eight points, Bowie came into the game on a two-game winning streak after beating Vernon and Henrietta.
The Jackrabbits started the game well even if the game was low-scoring. Bowie led 10-8 after the first quarter and 19-18 at halftime. The Jackrabbits were having trouble getting easy shots against Iowa Park’s zone defense and could not make the Hawks pay enough when getting open 3-point shots.
Iowa Park seemed to be hunting 3-pointers against Bowie’s zone defense and only made two in the first half.
The team made two in the third quarter which opened up all of the Hawk’s offensive execution in a flurry of scoring to end the quarter. The home crowd and team seemed to grow more bombastic as Iowa Park opened up a double-digit lead.
The Jackrabbits struggled in the third quarter, scoring only five points as they trailed 36-24 heading into the final period.
The Hawks offense did not slow down in the fourth quarter, making three 3-pointers and seeming one step ahead of Bowie’s defensive rotation.
The Jackrabbits got desperate and had a late scoring surge as they knocked in three 3-pointers as well, but it was too little too late for Bowie to come back.
Iowa Park won comfortably 54-39.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
