Fouls piled up for both the Bellevue High School and Henrietta girls’ basketball teams during Saturday afternoon’s matinee.
The show had its share of pratfalls as the Lady Eagles and Lady Cats combined for 67 free-throw attempts and the game featured 20 jump-ball possession changes.
In the end, Henrietta outscored Bellevue 16-5 to pull away with a 56-37 victory in this game featuring Clay County teams.
Bellevue, which has played a beefy schedule early against the likes of Alvord and Poolville, dropped to 0-3. The Lady Eagles played at Lindsay on Tuesday evening.
“I thought the girls played tough for three quarters,” said second-year head coach Bryan Goehring. “We got outplayed in third quarter, and that was the difference in the game.”
This was a tightly-called, physical game, and Goehring took note of that.
Emily Trail fouled out in the fourth quarter. Zoe Berry, Ally Corwin, FreeDom Morris and Megan Brown all finished with four fouls. Emily Largent and Cassie Simpson saw increased playing time.
“We had quite a few girls in four trouble, which allowed our freshmen to get some game experience which will benefit us down the road in district and the playoffs,” Goehring said. See more, including the complete box score, in the Nov. 25 Bowie News.

Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.

Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.

“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”

Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Nocona came into game two of its Class 2A Division I bi-district series with Archer City looking to rebound from a 17-0 loss in game one.

Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.

Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.

After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.

Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
