Bowie soccer club loses tough game at Springtown last week

Published

The Bowie High School soccer club boy’s team was able to play on Friday at Springtown in the first game of the new year after the snowfall canceled the previous weeks game.
Unfortunately, the Porcupines were able to jump on the Jackrabbits early in the game on their way to a 7-0 win.
Bowie’s last game played was nearly a month earlier against Benbrook. The Jackrabbits were supposed to play a rematch against Wichita Falls Memorial the previous week, but the snowfall led to that game being cancelled.
Unfortunately, that match rustiness showed up early in the game against Springtown. The Porcupines rode a hot first 25 minutes where they led 5-0 with 55 minutes still to play. Bowie then settled down and only allowed two more goals for the rest of the game.
Coach Chad Word chalked up the bad start to not getting his team mentally focused to start the match. Besides that, the team’s inability to pull the trigger limited the team’s goal scoring chances.
“One glaring issue is we create excellent opportunities to score all game long, but we are unwilling to shoot,” Word said. “With upwards of 15-16 dangerous chances, we shot the ball only three times. This is not good enough to beat solid teams in our area.”
