Bellevue holds off Woodson in its bi-district win
The Bellevue Lady Eagles held off a furious second half comeback to beat Woodson on Monday in their bi-district playoff game.
The Lady Eagles beat the Cowgirls 62-57, holding them off after being up double-digits at halftime.
Bellevue came into the game confident. The Lady Eagles had finished district play the previous week on Feb. 4 with a win against Prairie Valley 58-26. The Lady Eagles finished second in the district, but had secured a first seed in the second division of 1A.
Woodson came into the game with only seven wins on the season and four of them coming in district play. The Cowgirls had also finished in fourth place in their district as well.
The first half saw Bellevue show why it was the better team, outscoring Woodson in both quarters and leading 29-17 at halftime.
The Lady Eagles’ offense had not slowed down in the third quarter, but the Cowgirls found something to work offensively, doubling their first half total in the third quarter alone and cutting the lead to 10 points, 44-34.
That offensive rhythm kept up and was amplified by Woodson getting to the free throw line a lot. After attempting 10 free throws in the first three quarters, the Cowgirls attempted 15 in the fourth quarter alone.
Three players from Bellevue ended up fouling out and several more were a foul away from doing so.
The Lady Eagles continued to score well with 18 points in the final period, but missed all six of their free throws which would have provided some much needed breathing room as Woodson slowly got its way back into the game on the charity stripe.
Thankfully, the Cowgirls missed four of their free throws in the fourth quarter which would have made it a one-point game.
Bellevue held on to win 62-57.

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.
