Keidrick Jackson rushed for 158 yards and three
scores as Arlington Bowie won a shootout with
Midland, 56-35, on Saturday at Wichita Falls ISD
Stadium. |
|
Bowie
drove 80 yards in seven plays on the game's opening
drive and went ahead, 7-0, with 10:12 remaining in
the first quarter when Trae Hawkins scored on a
20-yard run.
|
|
Antwan Goodley returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards
for a touchdown to tie the score, 7-7. It appeared
Bowie had recovered a fumble in the Midland end zone
for a touchdown, but Bowie was flagged for being
offside on the kickoff and had to kick again.
|
|
Bowie
drove 55 yards on its second possession and went
ahead, 14-7, when quarterback Christian Matthews
passed 15 yards to Hawkins on fourth-and-7.
|
|
Four
plays later, Midland tied the score. Blake Stewart
threw a shovel pass to Darius Miller, who raced 61
yards for a touchdown with 7:01 remaining in the
first quarter.

Arlington

It seemed that the defenses for both
Arlington Bowie and Midland got lost on the way to
Wichita Falls’ Memorial Stadium. Fortunately for Volunteers their
defense apparently found the facility at halftime
to slow Midland in a 56-35 Bowie victory in the
Class 5A Division II area round. |
|
Bowie advances to the Region I
semifinals Saturday to face Wylie at Texas Stadium
at a time to be determined. |
|
The
Volunteers defense and special
teams allowed 28 first-half points but clamped
down to hold Midland to seven points in the second
half. Meanwhile the Bowie offense provided
an unpredictable mix of playmakers behind
quarterback Christian Matthews. Bowie got touchdowns from six
different players including a rushing and two
passing touchdowns from Matthews.
"I guess its all about team,"
Matthews said. "We go through practice every day
all about team. So going to each one is a good
thing and everybody came with it." |
|
While
Bowie was diverse, Midland
proved one dimensional behind stellar running back Darius Miller who rushed
for 151 yards and a touchdown. |
|
The opening half was a circus with no
rings to contain the action as the two teams
combined for 70 points. Bowie scored on its first possession
but gave up a 90-yard touchdown return on the
ensuing kick. With 4:43 left in the first
Bowie
held a 21-14 lead but gave up a second kick return
touchdown, this one 88 yards.
|
|
Early in the second quarter,
Volunteers powerback Keidrick Jackson smashed a
1-yard run to tie the game 28-28 with 10:28
remaining in the half. A pair of Midland turnovers at the
hands of Bowie linebacker Chris Hank turned the
game in the Volunteers favor for good.
Hank snagged an interception off a
failed shovel pass which led to a Bowie drive for
the 35-28 lead. On Midland’s next possession
Hank recovered a fumble on Midland’s 3 yard line. The next play
Matthews rushed in from
3 yards for the 42-28 halftime lead. |

After
a wild first half, Bowie’s defense held Midland to a
single touchdown in the second half to secure the
56-35 victory. Six
different players scored for Bowie in a diverse
effort that pushed the
Volunteers into the Class 5A regional semifinals
against Wylie next Saturday at Texas Stadium.

Division II area round |

Midland (8-3) has a high-powered offense averaging
38.3 points per game, but those numbers dwindle
against quality opponents. Midland was 1-3 against
playoff teams this season and averaged 24 points.
Darius Miller is the key to Midland’s offense. He
rushed for 1,473 yards and 18 touchdowns in the
regular season. Bowie has won eight consecutive
games and can tie the school record set last season
with a win. The Volunteers, No. 3 in the
Star-Telegram Class 5A area
rankings and No. 9 in the Associated Press Class 5A
state poll, haven’t scored fewer than 29 points in a
game this season. Read More |
