Rebounding is one of the essential elements of basketball.
In a Jan. 3 District 3A-8 game, the Bowie High School boys’ basketball team had one of its best games of the season rebounding – and it ultimately paid off in an easy 60-24 victory at Jacksboro.
Bowie finished with 29 rebounds, including 10 from Justin Franklin in a double-double performance that also featured 14 points. Daniel Mosley added seven boards, and Gary Mosley six, as the Jackrabbits controlled the low block. Gary Mosley was the Jackrabbits’ leading scorer with 15.
With the win, Bowie improved to 10-10 on the season, and the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Conference 3A No. 23 team in the state used the victory as a springboard to Friday’s important home clash against Holliday.
“Rebounding the basketball well allows you to become a more successful team,” Bowie head coach Doug Boxell said. “We were able to get many key rebounds. We hit the boards hard.”
Bowie was able to generate plenty of second-chance points with 17 offensive rebounds, which included six from Daniel Mosley and three each from Gary Mosley and Franklin. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the Jan. 7 Bowie News.
