HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Busy week for Bowie boys, girls

The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team played Krum at the American Airlines Center in Dallas for the second time in three years this past Wednesday.
“Krum’s a good program,” Bowie head coach Doug Boxell said. “They have a quick tempo. They like to jump and run and push it.”
Boxell said by playing in such a large arena this early in the season, the Bowie players won’t be mesmerized about the future location of games.
“We’re playing in the best and biggest arena,” he said.
Gary Mosley and Dillon Swaim will join their Jackrabbit teammates, fresh from Saturday’s unfortunate 29-20 loss to Littlefield in the Conference 3A Division I Region I area round.
Boxell said Keck Jones, Justin Franklin, Kason Spikes, Daniel Mosley and Dayton Shook will be the featured starting line-up.
Bowie was given the chance to play at the American Airlines Center as part of the Dallas Mavericks’ Court of Dreams Program.
Fantasy of Lights Tournament
The Bowie girls’ basketball team will be involved in the Fantasy of Lights Tournament at Wichita Falls.
The event has lost some luster this year as the large-school girls’ bracket will be played using a round-robin format.
Bowie girls’ basketball coach Chuck Hall said the Fantasy of Lights Tournament has been hurt by its central locations – because many teams play each other away from this event.
“Schools are getting away from playing the same people all the time,” Hall said, “and there are other tournaments.”
Hall said all the teams Bowie will face in the tournament will be a challenge.
Bowie will play at 9:30 a.m. on Friday versus Peaster at Midwestern State University. Later at 7:30 p.m., the Lady Rabbits will play Wichita Falls Hirschi at Hirschi.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
