The Bowie News all-star girls’ basketball team is heavy on the guards, but that’s because there are so many quality players to go around.
The all-star team features plenty of ball-handlers and girls who enjoy defense with plenty of steals per game.
Courtney Brady and Addy Cook were named the all-star captains because both were named to the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Conference 3A Region 2 team.
The rest of the team features two girls from Bowie, four from Forestburg, four from Bellevue, two from Nocona, two from Gold-Burg and one each from Saint Jo and Prairie Valley. There also is a list of honorable mention players.
Bowie (26-7) handled plenty of adversity this season, but the Lady Rabbits still pulled through for another district championship and they advanced to the regional quarterfinals for the fifth consecutive year. The girls also placed fourth in the Whataburger Tournament.
Nocona nearly made the playoffs, but fell to Henrietta during a play-in game by seven points. The Lady Indians equaled last year’s win total with 16 victories.
Forestburg captured second place in District 1A-21 with Bellevue third. Read more in the March 19 Bowie News.

Alexia Britain, Forestburg: Became a force in the post in District 1A-21 this year, and she was named all-district most valuable defensive player. Britain had nearly two blocked shots per game while recording a double-double all season (19.1 points and 14.7 boards per game). Read more biographies in the March 19 Bowie News.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.

Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
