Bowie boys lose games before break
The Bowie boy’s basketball team had a tough two days before the break playing Hirschi and Krum.
The Jackrabbits lost 57-46 to the Huskies and 60-44 to the Bobcats.
Bowie hosted the state-ranked Hirschi team on Monday and initially had a decent first quarter, leading 8-6. The Jackrabbits were handling the Huskies full-court press and attacking the basket.
For most of the second quarter the teams were pretty locked together tied 19-19.
The final two minutes before halftime saw Hirschi go on an 8-0 run with multiple baskets scored off turnovers. The Huskies led 27-19 at halftime.
That same energy seemed to carry over into the start of the third quarter. Hirschi’s lead at one point was 37-23, but Bowie closed the lead to 39-29 heading into the fourth quarter.
The Jackrabbits struggled to make up any ground as the Huskies press gave them trouble. Hirschi led 55-40 late in the quarter, but Bowie finished strong to make the final score 57-46.
Logan Hutson led the team with nine points. A.J. Whatley and Riley Blackburn were second with eight points apiece.
The Jackrabbits then traveled to Krum on Tuesday. Bowie had trouble keeping the Bobcats off the free throw line in the first quarter. Along with a couple of made 3-pointers had Krum leading 20-12 heading into the second quarter.
The Jackrabbits had trouble scoring in the second quarter while the Bobcats did not slow down much. This allowed Krum to build its lead to 36-17 at halftime.
Bowie played much better in the second half, actually outscoring the Bobcats 27-24, but it was not enough to come back from double-digit points.
Cade Thompson led the team with nine points while Tru’Vion Sansom was second with seven.

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 8th 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 2nd 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.
