Bowie boys get revenge wins against Jacksboro, City View
The Bowie Jackrabbits started the second round of district play last week and picked up two great wins against opponents they previously had lost to.
The Jackrabbits beat Jacksboro 61-49 and City View 60-46 as they battle for a playoff spot.
Bowie came out of the first round of district play with a 2-4 record coming off a disappointing loss at Iowa Park. The Jackrabbits started district play 0-3, but all of those losses had come by a combined total of eight points. With that in mind, Bowie knew it could beat any team in district if it played well as the team got ready to play all of the team’s again.
The Jackrabbits did not start the game well against the Tigers on Jan. 21. It was a low-scoring start to the game. Bowie trailed 10-4 as they struggled initially against Jacksboro’s physicality inside.
The Jackrabbits changed their defensive approach in the second quarter, mixing in some full-court pressure to force some turnovers which led to some transition opportunities. Bowie outscored the Tigers 12-6 to tie the score up at 16-16 at halftime.
The offensive pace picked up quite a bit for both teams in the second half, just the Jackrabbits proved better at it than Jacksboro. One thing that helped was more fouls being called which meant more free throws after only six were attempted in the first half.
Bowie initially fell behind 27-23 midway through the third quarter before closing strong thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers from Bradly Horton to open up a 41-33 lead.
In the fourth quarter, Jacksboro tried to fight back, cutting it to 49-44 midway through the period.
The Jackrabbits were put on the free throw line down the stretch and made the Tigers pay as they made the majority of them as they pulled away.
Bowie would end up winning 61-49.
The win was a good one with the Jackrabbits going on the road next to play a high-scoring City View team.
From the start it was back and forth, but it was not a light speed or super high-scoring pace. Bowie led 13-12 after the first quarter and it seemed like the Jackrabbits were a bit more cognizant of trying to use their size advantage to their advantage on offense a bit more.
Bowie led 32-28 at halftime and pulled away in the second half thanks to lights out defense. The Jackrabbits limited City View to only 18 points in the second half while Bowie did not slow down much at all.
The Jackrabbits led by double-digits at the end of the third quarter 49-39 before winning 60-46.

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.
