Bowie boys and girls get challenged at tournaments
Bowie girls
The Bowie Lady Rabbits had a tough final tournament at Poolville last week to get them ready for the rigors district play that starts this week.
The Lady Rabbits went 2-3 overall while playing some tough teams and learning a lot.
Bowie started off the tournament with a dominant win against Chico 41-15. Ziba Robbins led the team with 13 points and Parker Riddle was second with 11 points.
The difficulty quickly ramped up as the Lady Rabbits next played the top ranked 3A private school in the state Lubbock Christian. Bowie lost 55-25 as Robbins had a team high seven points.
In bracket play the next day, Bowie had its best win of the tournament, beating a tough Windthorst team 43-35. Robbins had a team high 12 points followed by Hanna Bell who scored 11 points.
The Lady Rabbits moved on, but ran into eighth ranked team in the state in 3A Paradise. The Lady Wildcats showed why as they beat Bowie 58-30. Emily Cueva led the team with nine points.
The Lady Rabbits final game of the tournament was against Gordon. It was the lowest scoring game of the tournament for Bowie as the defense played lights out, but the ball would not go into the basket for the Lady Rabbits.
Bowie lost 26-18. Riddle led the team with seven points.
Robbins and Cueva each were named to the all-tournament team individually.
Bowie boys
The Bowie boy’s basketball team had a much tougher time playing its second tournament at Graham last week.
The Jackrabbits went 1-3 overall while playing mostly bigger schools after finishing runners-up at S&S Consolidated the previous weekend.
Bowie played well at times and competed well, but just could not do enough of the small things to give it a chance to win in the end of these games.
The Jackrabbits lost to Wichita Falls High School 51-40. Andrew Sandhoff led the team with 19 points while Tucker Jones was second with 11.
Bowie then lost its closest game of the tournament against Lubbock Coranado 57-51. Sandhoff had a team high 18 points while Rayder Mann was second with 11 points.
The Jackrabbits then lost to Sweetwater 54-42 in a game where a bad third quarter dug Bowie too deep of a hole to get out of. Sandhoff scored 17 and Jones scored 10 to lead the team on the scoresheets.
The Jackrabbits got to end the tournament on a high note, dominating Olney 60-23. Sandhoff scored 21 points and Mann scored 16 to lead the team.
