Bowie's Moore has Plenty to Shout About in Win

After beginning his college career at UNC-Wilmington, sophomore guard helps Niagara get a rare road victory in front of family in Baltimore.

There was a lot of noise, and shouts, coming from the visiting locker room in the basement of the Reitz Arena at Loyola University in north Baltimore late Friday night. That was because the men's basketball team at Niagara University, which includes Kevon Moore of Bowie, won just its sixth game of the season (and second on the road) against the host Greyhounds. And Niagara, from upstate New York, did it in dramatic fashion as the Purple Eagles erased a 13-point deficit early in the second half to win, 59-57, on a shot by senior Anthony Nelson with about 15 seconds left. "We needed a win, first and foremost," said Moore, standing outside of the Niagara dressing room. "It was sweeter for me since it was a school that recruited me (after he …

There was no graduating class that year, as there were only sophomores and juniors.

Kicking Off the First Weekend of Fall at the Old Bowie Festival

Old Bowie's annual fall festival featured local food, vendors, and businesses, and best of all, moon bounces.

Old Bowie is an often overlooked part of Bowie, as it's part of the northern extremeties of the city limits. It holds a lot of our city's history, and offers a unique environment for events such as its fall festival. The warm autumn sun made this year's Old Bowie Historic Festival that much more welcoming last Saturday. Bowie residents joined vendors, historic society members and families at the all day event. This annual street festival took place on sections of 9th Street and Chestnut Ave, stretching from Christopher's Antiques to the Post Office. Over 20 local vendors came out to support the Bowie Historic Society, including K & K Creations, Traci Lynn Fashion Jewelry Boutique and even our local State Farm Insurance office. There was …
