The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team entered Tuesday night with a 7-0 record, a number 21 ranking in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches polls and a tough task awaiting them as top-ranked Brock rolled into town.
In the father-son battle, Bowie coach Doug Boxell’s son Zach would gain the upper hand as Bowie fell 61-41.
The first halves of the three quarters were mainly dominated by Brock, with Bowie gaining some momentum in the second half.
Brock had a double-digit lead at intermission, and the Eagles maintained that margin in the third quarter. Brock outscored Bowie 11-6 in the final frame, putting the Jackrabbits away for good.
Chase Hall paced the Jackrabbits with 14 points with eight rebounds and a steal. Cooper Cantwell recorded 10 points with three rebounds and a steal. Gary Mosley added six points with five rebounds and a steal.
On Thursday night, Doug Boxell earned his 700th career coaching victory on his third crack at it as the Jackrabbits topped Azle 54-35.
“We played a little rough,” Boxell said.
Azle wanted to play a physical game, and Bowie matched it to win. Read more, and see complete boxscores, in the weekend Bowie News.
