HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Giveaway sale

For whatever reason, the Breckenridge High School football team brings out ugly play from Bowie.
This happens time in and time again, like this past Friday as Bowie had four turnovers – including a fumble that went 60 yards for a return touchdown – as the Jackrabbits lost to the Buckaroos 26-14 in District 4-3A-I action Friday at home.
“We didn’t play a clean game,” Bowie head coach Dylan Stark admitted. “We turned the ball over too much. It wasn’t our night, and we made things tougher on ourselves.”
Breckenridge continues to find a way to beat Bowie, which hasn’t beaten the Buckaroos since the 2010 campaign.
The Jackrabbits (3-4, 1-1) missed a golden opportunity to put themselves in playoff position. Now, the final three games will be a scramble.
And now Bowie is staring at Conference 3A Division I No. 1 Brock on Friday in what’s sure to be a major road test.
The Eagles are coming off a 36-6 victory over Paradise last Friday, and Stark knows this game will be a stern test.
“We’re ready for a challenge,” Stark said. “I think we can play against anybody. We’re going to have to play hard and play physical.”
Brock runs a multiple offense – running everything from the wishbone to the spread – while the Eagles use a special aggressive attacking defense. Read more, and see complete statistics and area football standings, in the Oct. 19 Bowie News.

The Nocona Lady Indians beat Saint Jo at home on Saturday morning.
The Lady Indians won 16-1 after four innings due to run-rule against the smaller school.
Nocona was coming off a competitive loss at Collinsville earlier in the week while the Lady Panthers were hoping to compete after a busy week of their athletes doing everything else besides just softball.
The Lady Indians easily won the first matchup between the teams in March, 19-2 and it was more of the same on Saturday.
Saint Jo struck first to start the game off well. Jordyn O’Neal hit a one out single. Krista Reeves followed with a walk after O’Neal had stolen second base and had advanced to third thanks to an error trying to throw her out. A wild pitch then allowed her to score to put the Lady Panthers up 1-0.
The lead did not last long. Nocona’s first two batters drew walks which set up Abby Hill to drive them both in with a single to right field.
Despite giving up a single and a walk later in the inning, Saint Jo’s defense did not allow another run. A line out and groundout to the shortstop while picking off a runner attempting to steal got the Lady Panthers out of the inning unscarred.
The Lady Indians led 2-1.
That was about as competitive as it got. In the second inning, Nocona’s bats got going. Two singles and a hit batter loaded the bases up with no outs.
Reagan Phipps drew a walk that drove in a run. Hill hit another two RBI single. Skye Kirby followed with a two RBI double.
After the first out, Allie Sutton drove in one run with a single. There was a fly out for out two, before a runner came in to score after a passed ball. Finally, an error allowed two more runs to score on the base paths.
Nocona had scored nine runs and led 11-1 to break the game open heading into the third inning.
Taylor Patrick hit a double, with O’Neal and Reeves following with singles. Unfortunately for Saint Jo, Patrick was thrown out before the hits attempting to steal a base so the Lady Panthers scored no runs from this.
The Lady Indians kept pouring on the runs. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases up with no outs. Tinley Cable then hit an RBI single. Shelby Swell was hit by a pitch that drove in another run.
After two strikeouts, Evelyn Marquez drove in two more runs on a double to put Nocona up 15-1, coming up one run short of ending the game early.
The Lady Indians scored that one run in the fourth inning. After Phipps drew a leadoff walk, Hill hit a triple that drove her in to end the game.
Nocona won 16-1.
