The Bowie High School bass fishing team came through with strong performances at the Possum Kingdom tournament on Saturday in Graford.
“It was super cold,” said boat captain Rusty Edwards. “It was 34 degrees, and we were bundled up. But, the boys didn’t let it get them down.”
Edwards said Bowie fished well throughout the day, but the peak time of success was roughly around mid-morning when the sun had been up for a couple of hours.
“The fish were feeding up,” said Edwards, noting water temperatures were about to take a tumble last weekend.
Edwards said he appreciated the focus all the boys had during the event.
Jared Stone was Bowie’s top angler, weighing two fish at 6.29 pounds. Stone’s performance was good enough for 15th overall.
Lane Hopson and Hadley Morgan had their best showing all year, weighing two fish at 6.1 pounds.
Kyler Ratliff and Jeremy Stone, who came into the event tied for top honors, in the angler of the year standings, weighed one fish at 3.37 pounds.
Ian Ashley and Christian Sanchez, also among the top-10, weighed one fish at 3.41. Read more in the Nov. 23 Bowie News.

Nocona girls get third at Decatur

The Nocona Lady Indians were able to finish in third place at the Decatur tournament on Monday and Tuesday.
The Lady Indians went 2-1 overall while playing against much bigger schools in the process.
Nocona is only in its second week with its full roster in a season that is expected to be another ambitious one, eying the state tournament.
To do that is to challenge itself against bigger schools that provide unique teams and players it most likely won’t have to face at the top of 2A, but is good to experience either way.
The Lady Indians started the tournament playing a 4A Randall team that had won 27 games.
It was a close game throughout. Nocona held a slight lead for most of the game and went into the fourth quarter holding a one-point lead 33-32.
The final period was an explosion of offense for both teams. The Lady Indians did a good job of playing with the lead and making free throws down the stretch to make it pay while the Lady Raiders had their leading scorer get hot. Nocona’s Meg Meekins did as well, scoring 17 of her team high 30 points in the fourth quarter.
The Lady Indians scored 26 points to help them hold on to win 59-51. Reagan Phipps was second on the team with 12 points, with nine coming in the fourth quarter.
The second game was against 5A Anna team that is coming off a 20 win season that won first place in its district.
The Lady Coyotes proved to be too much for Nocona as it won 68-51. The Lady Indians were trying to play catch-up from the start and just could not match Anna.
Meekins led the team with 23 points while Phipps again was second with 12 points.
Nocona played its final match of the tournament against private school RWG STEM from Arlington. Like most teams, the Lady Lions had a height advantage at most positions, but especially in the post in this game.
The Lady Indians gave extra attention on defense and had a pretty good 31-22 lead at halftime. RWG came back with a big third quarter to tie the score up at 38-38.
After a tight fourth quarter that saw both teams make clutch baskets down the stretch, the score was tied at 52-52 and the game headed to overtime.
Nocona made two quick 3-pointers to start the period to give itself the lead and was able to play with the lead and control the clock until the end of the game. The Lady Indians won 61-55.
Meekins led the team with 21 points as she was named to the all-tournament team. Aubree Kleinhans had her best offensive performance of the tournament, scoring 18 points.

Lady Rabbits go 2-2 at hosted tournament

Published

on

Laney Enlow puts up a running floater in the lane in the Lady Rabbits blowout win against Millsap on Tuesday.

The Bowie Lady Rabbits had a good two days playing basketball at their hosted Gayno Shelton Hoopin’ into the Holidays Tournament on Monday and Tuesday.
The Lady Rabbits went 2-2 overall as the tournament was formatted to play two games each day and did not feature brackets or championships.
Bowie started off the tournament on a strong note against Tioga. Featuring the team’s biggest offensive total so far, the Lady Rabbits beat the Lady Bulldogs in dominant fashion 61-22.
Bowie made 10 3-pointers in the game while on defense it pitched a rare shut out in the third quarter. Laney Enlow led the team with 12 points and Railey Martin score nine points while making three 3-pointers. Parker Riddle, Payton Holt and Laney Segura each pitched in eight points.
It was a good blowout win for the team because the next game saw the Lady Rabbits on the other side of it. State-ranked 2A team Muenster showed Bowie how far it still needs to go.
The Lady Hornets won 47-19 as the Lady Rabbits had trouble scoring throughout the game. Bowie did not start the game great, giving up 25 points in the first quarter. On the bright side, the team limited Muenster to single-digit quarter totals in the second and fourth quarter.
Riddle led the team with five points and Segura was second with four points.
Bowie made only one 3-pointer after making 10 the previous game and went 8-16 at the free throw line.
The Lady Rabbits were able to shake off that performance at the start of day two, playing against Millsap.
It was another rout for Bowie as everything seemed to be working for the Lady Rabbits. Bowie limited the Lady Bulldogs to only two points in the first quarter and won 57-22.
Segura led the team with 14 points while Martin was second with nine points, all coming from 3-point land.
Five other players finished with six points or more in another great showing on both sides of the court.
The Lady Rabbits final game of the tournament was the last one on Tuesday. It was the most competitive game of the tournament for Bowie, but unfortunately the Lady Rabbits fell to fellow 3A team Bells 48-37.
Bowie started the game with the lead and led 25-21 at halftime, but unfortunately switched up tactics from the Lady Panthers allowed them to grab control in the third quarter and extend their lead in the fourth quarter.
Hanna Bell led the team with 15 points and Enlow was second with eight points.
