Lady Rabbits play final tournament at Poolville
The Bowie Lady Rabbits played in their final tournament last week at Poolville.
The Lady Rabbits went 3-2 at the tournament ahead of starting district play later this week.
Bowie started the tournament with a rematch against Windthorst. The state-ranked 2A team had narrowly beaten the Lady Rabbits at their hosted tournament back before Thanksgiving.
It was another competitive game that came down to the wire. Unfortunately, the Lady Trojans came out on top by one basket in the low scoring game 36-34.
Ziba Robbins led the team with 13 points.
Bowie bounced back in its second game playing Bethesda Christian. The Lady Rabbits beat the private school by 50 points 79-29 in a game where everyone got to play a lot of the game.
Robbins again led the team in scoring, putting up a season high 28 points. Maddie Mandela joined her in double-figures scoring 12 points.
Bowie’s worst game of the tournament came in its loss to Paradise.
The Lady Cats won a one-sided game 45-20 as the Lady Rabbits struggled to score any points throughout.
Bowie then played tournament host Poolville. The Lady Rabbits rode a hot first quarter into a one-sided win 69-39. Mandela scored 27 points to lead the team while Robbins was second with 19.
The final game of the tournament came against Tolar. Bowie took an early lead in the first quarter and never let the Lady Rattlers get close as it won comfortably 47-35.
Mandela led the team with 17 points and Robbins again was second scoring 13. Kayleigh Crow nearly joined them in double-figures scoring nine points.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.
Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.
“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”
Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.
The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.
Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.
Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
