Bowie High School libero Karsen Morgan was named to the all-tournament team as the Lady Rabbits won the Silver Bracket at the “Buckle Up For Lane’s Sake Tournament” in Nocona on Saturday.
Morgan scooped up 15 digs in three matches for Bowie as the Lady Rabbits topped Nocona’s JV 25-16, 25-20, beat Boyd in three sets 25-12, 23-25, 26-24 and topped Burkburnett, also in three, 20-25, 25-16, 25-16.
“I was very proud of my girls this past weekend,” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said. “It has been a rough, grueling three weeks with back-to-back tournaments and games on Fridays.
“Even though we ended up in the Silver Division,” Stark continued, “I felt like the accomplishment we were able to achieve as a team was more beneficial than any other route we could have taken.”
Bowie improved to 14-11 heading into its final non-district game on Tuesday against Krum at home. Read more in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News.
