The Jackrabbits raced through their football schedule for the year in grand style as they compiled a 6-3-1 season record against their new Class AAA opponents. Bowie suffered their first defeat at the hands of the Graham Steers but went from there to win quiet a few games. Then their big test came as they played top-ranked CarroUton to a thrilling 16-16 tie. This proved to be the highlight of the season. Bowie then went on to lose only two more games to district opponents for a prominent place in the final District AAA-5 standings. It was Bowie ' s first year in Class AAA, and they did remarkably well considering how the enrollment of all the other schools was far larger than ours. Ask any boy, and he will tell you that the Rabbits had a very good season. n Season Lewisville Graham s Record Bowie 14 8 Opp. 24 n SIfB Decatur Nocona Diamond Hill CarroUton Richardson Castleberry Brewer 46 ao 40 16 8 32 6 16 ZZ 14 1 K Vi ' W Hurst (Bell) 6 190 16 98 3 Kw LEE CORDELL TERRY BRADFIELD Captain Captain Fullback Quarterback - End 96 All District 5 AAA All District 5 AAA BARTON MASSEY Head Coach BOB BAKER Assistant Coach DONALD SYKES Assistant Coach Ratcliff plunges for a score against Brewer.

The Bowie Jackrabbits emerged from the 1960-61 basketball campaign with a fine, over-all won-lost record but were de- nied their district championship by losing only two conference games to Castleberry. The ' Rabbits made their prennier in Class AAA only this year and romped to a fine record in and out of district play. The Jackrabbits compiled an over-all season record of 22 wins against only 6 defeats, a deed to be commended when one takes into consideration the competition. The boys won two major tournaments in non-conference play, their own Bowie Invitational Tournament and the Gainsville Invitational Tournament. Bowie loses seven seniors from the traveling squad, including four starters, but with such a group of fine talent coming from the B Team, a state champion- ship next year will be highly possible.
