The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team opened up the Whataburger Tournament with a 77-70 victory over Grapevine Faith Academy.
Bowie advanced to play Kennedale on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. in the opening round of the championship bracket.
The Jackrabbits were fueled by a season-high point total from Gary Mosley and outscoring the Lions 15-2 from the free-throw line.
“We were able to attack the basket and break their press,” Bowie head coach Doug Boxell said. “Our guys in the post played big. That was a big factor in the win.”
Boxell was especially pleased with Mosely’s performance.
“Gary did a good job,” Boxell said. “We got him the ball, and he was able to score on some post moves and on putbacks. That’s what we expect out of him.”
Boxell said the entire team played well, and the Jackrabbits’ ability to break Grapevine Faith’s pressure defense was a focal point in the victory.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.

The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.

Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.

Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.

Sage Keck, an 8^th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.

She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.

Her success continued, as she finished 2^nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
