Arlington Bowie
Meet its Match |

|
For the first time in
a long time, Arlington Bowie looked ordinary. |
|
And
ordinary was not going to cut it against Wylie.
Bowie, No. 9 in the Associated Press Class 5A state
poll and No. 3 in the Star-Telegram
Class 5A area rankings, was dominated 43-20 in a UIL
Class 5A Division II Region I semifinal at Texas
Stadium. |
|
"It’s disappointing,"
Bowie wide receiver Trae Hawkins said. "They’re a
great team, but we didn’t execute. It was
frustrating."

When Wylie's offense
scored three touchdowns in the first six minutes of
the second half Saturday, the Pirates' defense
breathed a sigh of relief. But the defenders were
also breathing a lot harder.

Final: Wylie 43,
Arlington Bowie 20 |
|
Wylie scored four
second-half touchdowns to take down Arlington Bowie
43-20 in a Class 5A Division II Region I semifinal
game. Running back Nick Knott finished with 178
total yards and two touchdowns for the Pirates. He
score on a 55-yard run and a 79-yard reception. The
Volunteers’ Christian Matthew
completed 20 of 33 for
250 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown pass to
Trae Hawkins. DFW Varsity - Stefan Stevenson |

Bowie recovered an
onside kick at midfield. But a few plays later Alan
Menchaca intercepted a Bowie pass to give Wylie the
ball at the Pirates 34-yard line with under four
minutes remaining in the game. DFW Varsity -

Bowie’s
Ronnie
Thomas’ second effort on a four-yard run helped him
get into the end zone as the Volunteers keep
battling despite trailing by 23 points. DFW

Backup quarterback
Deric Davis has come in for the Volunteers for
Christian Matthews. Matthews
finished the game with
250 yards passing. Davis picked up 32 yards on a
running play to get Bowie inside the Wylie 30-yard
line. DFW Varsity - Stefan Stevenson |

|
Well, that'll do it.
Wylie just blocked a Bowie punt and Nikita Whitlock,
who has been a force all game (as he always seems to
be), returned it for a touchdown. |
|
I have to go
down to the field, so this will be my last blog until
after the game. I'll send a final score to the
ticker when its over. HS Game Time - Matt

Wylie 36, Arlington Bowie 13
(9:58, 4th) |
|
Bowie has the ball
back, but it's running out of time. Wylie just went
conservative with its last drive, running the ball
three times to drain the clock. That's all the
Pirates have to do now after their offensive
explosion in the third quarter. |
Backup QB
Deric
Davis has entered the game for Bowie.
Matthews was limping a little bit, but I'm not sure what
his injury is. Wylie's defense has been
top-notch tonight. HS Game Time, Matt Wixon |

End of 3rd: Wylie
36, Arlington Bowie 13 |
|
The last two
Volunteers drives have stalled. Wylie cornerback
Daniel Jordan just picked off a Bowie pass and the
Pirates have the ball back on their own 11-yard
line. DFW Varsity - Stefan Stevenson |

3rd: Wylie 36,
Arlington Bowie 13 |
|
Wylie’s Nick Knott
took a handoff 55 yards for a score to give the
Pirates a little breathing room against the
Volunteers. Knott has 83 yards rushing on eight
carries for Wylie. He also has one reception for 79
yards for a touchdown. DFW Varsity - Stefan
Stevenson |

|
Wylie 36,
Arlington Bowie 13 (5:05, 3rd) |
|
Make that four
touchdowns in the first six minutes of the third
quarter. |
|
After Wylie forced a
Bowie punt, the Pirates took over at their 45. On
the first play, Nick Knott ran it right up the gut
... and through the Bowie defense for a 55-yard
touchdown. Now Wylie has forced another punt. Bowie
has a quick-strike offense, but it's going to run
out of chances to strike. HS Game Time - Matt Wixon |
|
|
Wylie 29, Arlington Bowie 13
(9:07, 3rd) |
|
Three touchdowns in
the first three minutes of the third quarter.
After Knott's 79-yard TD reception, Bowie's
Christian Matthews threw a 52-yard pass to
Justin
Foster to take the ball to the Wylie 23. On the next
play, Travis Edwards ran for a touchdown. The
extra-point kick was wide right. |
|
Wylie responded with
a 75-yard TD pass from Monk to Logan Lambert. The
Pirates added a two-point conversion to go up by 16.

A first-half
defensive battle has turned into a second-half
offensive battle. Wylie scored on two plays when
Jerod Monk hit Logan Lambert for 75 yards. Noah
Cheshier scored a two-point conversion on a shuffle
pass to make the score 29-13. Bowie missed an
extra-point attempt after its last touchdown. DFW

Bowie came right back
on its next possession and scored on a four-play
75-yard drive when Travis Evans scored on a 25-yard
run. Christian Matthews connected with Justin Foster
on the previous play for a 52-yard pass play to the
Wylie 25-yard line. DFW Varsity - Stefan

Wylie 21, Arlington Bowie 7
(11:05, 3rd) |
Wow, what a start
for Wylie. Second play of its opening drive, QB
Jerod Monk is flushed out of the pocket and
before getting hit dumps the ball to RB Nick
Knott. Knott makes a couple of nice moves and
then somehow runs through three Bowie defenders
without getting more than touched. He's got some
good wheels in the open field. It was a 79-yard
TD. HS Game Time,

3rd: Wylie 21,
Arlington Bowie 7 |
|
Nick
Knott turned a broken play into a huge play for
Wylie on the Pirates’ second play from scrimmage to
start the second half. Knott took a pass across the
middle from quarterback Jerod Monk, who had
scrambled out of the pocket. Knott broke a tackle at
midfield and ran it in for a 79-yard touchdown.
Wylie leads 21-7. DFW Varsity - Stefan Sevenson |

Christian Matthews hit
Trae Hawkins down the
sidelines to put the Volunteers on the board. After
a five-yard false start penalty against Bowie, the
Volunteers decided to go for it on a fourth-and-six
play at the Wylie 40-yard line. Hawkins broke away
just enough in single coverage to make the grab and
score the touchdown. DFW Varsity - Stefan

Bowie
strikes back with a huge play on fourth-and-6 at the
Wylie 40. Christian

Wylie - 7
|
Wylie
puts together a 41-yard drive for its second TD,
capped by a 16-yard reception by Logan Lambert, who
pulled out of a tackle on a screen pass, nearly put
his knee down, and then scored. Wylie had great
field position after the Bowie punter put his knee
down while fielding a low snap. HS Game, Matt Wixon |

Bowie - 0 (7:09,
2nd)
|
|
|
Wylie - 7 |
You
always hear coaches (and players) talk about how
good defenses "fly to the ball." Wylie's certainly
does, and so far, it's made Bowie's high-scoring
offense really work for its yards. Bowie is about to
punt for the second time. It's other two drives have
ended on failed fourth-down attempts. HS Game, Matt Wixon |
|
Bowie - 0 (10:51,
2nd) |

Wylie - 7 |
Wylie
strikes first on a 24-yard TD pass from Jerod Monk

Monk:He's 3-of-3 for 138 yards and a TD |

Arlington
Bowie Boast s Diversity of Talent |

DFW Varsity, Nov 28,

|
Arlington Bowie's
Keidrick Jackson rushed for 160 yards and scored
three touchdowns in the Vols' second-round win. |
|
|
|
Arlington Bowie quarterback Christian Matthews
somehow developed the ability to teleport the
football.
Superpowers are one explanation for the trickery
Matthews displayed during Bowie’s 56-35 Class 5A
area round victory against Midland last Saturday. |
|
Throughout the game the Midland defense, fans and
press box folks often couldn’t tell if he had the
ball or if he’d slipped it into the hands of one
of Bowie’s many running backs. This
sort of unpredictability defines the Bowie offense
that enters today’s Class 5A Division II regional
semifinal against Wylie (10-2) without a real
superstar. |
|
The
Volunteers (11-1) enjoyed rushing touchdowns from
four different ball-carriers to keep Midland
off-balance throughout the game. "It’s
been like that all year," Bowie
coach Kenny Perry
said. "All of those guys have equal stats." |
|
Don’t
mistake the diversity against Midland as an
anomaly. Bowie
has spread the offense with a run-pass balance all
season long.
They’ve also enjoyed a slew of offensive
contributions without one player dominating the
scoring. Here’s
a breakdown of the Volunteers week-by-week
balance: |

Bowie Tries
Special Teams Makeover |
|
DFW Varsity, Nov 25,
2008, Milenko Martinovich |
|
After
surrendering two kickoff returns for touchdowns last
week against Midland, Arlington Bowie will have some
new faces on its coverage teams. |
|
Bowie coach
Kenny
Perry said the starting linebackers and defensive
backs will play on special teams when the Volunteers
meet Wylie in a Class 5A Division II Region I
semifinal Saturday at Texas Stadium. |
|
Wylie has two special
teams touchdown returns this season and one of them
occurred last week in the Pirates’ 31-28 area-round
win over Hebron. |

Playoffs are Still Loaded with District 4-5A Teams |

Star Telegram, Nov
24, 2008, by Milenko Martinovich |
|
Next opponent:
Wylie, Class 5A
Division II Region I semifinal, 4 p.m. Saturday,
Texas Stadium |
|
How they got here:
beat Richland
36-10; beat Midland 56-35 |
|
Bowie’s style: Speed is at the
heart of Bowie’s success. The Volunteers have quick,
explosive players at the skill positions, most
notably quarterback Christian Matthews,
wide receiver
Trae Hawkins and running back Travis Evans. They
spread the field and force defenses to make
one-on-one tackles. Bowie’s defense is just as fast,
but is also physical. The Volunteers allowed only
12.2 points per game during the regular season. |
|
Playoff surprise:
For the first
time since Week 3, the Volunteers showed some chinks
in the armor against Midland, allowing 35 points,
equaling the most points the Volunteers have given
up this season. Bowie responded by scoring 56
points, tied for the most points it has scored this
season.
