Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers rolled over Newcastle at home on Friday night.
It only took one half as Saint Jo won 56-0 due to mercy rule.
The Panthers scored on their second offensive play as Logan Brawner scored on a 33-yard run. Newcastle did not score on its first drive, but did a good job of keeping the ball away from Saint Jo, coverting two first downs.
When the Panthers got the ball back there was less than two minutes to play in the quarter. Saint Jo did not need much time though as Jonathon Diaz scored on a 54-yard run to put the Panthers up 16-0 heading into the second quarter.
The second play of the new quarter saw Brawner score on a short touchdown run to go up 24-0. The defense forced a four-and-out and the offense scored on its first play as Chance Bennett rumbled his way for a 40-yard touchdown run to go up 32-0.
Newcastle fumbled on its next drive and Dylan Brockman recovered the ball. Brawner then completed his first touchdown pass of the season to Tyler Cook from 13 yards out to go up 40-0.
Another drive from the Bobcats ended in a four-and-out. Saint Jo’s first offensive play went for another touchdown as Diaz scored from 11 yards out to make the score 48-0.
On the kickoff, Brockman recovered another fumble to give the Panthers the ball back. Matthew Butler scored on the next play on a 45-yard run to increase the score to 56-0.
Saint Jo next hosts Arlington Texas Leadership Charter Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 23.

Nocona
The Nocona Indians lost at Henrietta on Friday in one-sided fashion.
The Bearcats got out early and never looked back winning 57-6.
Trent Sappington scored the Indians only touchdown in the fourth quarter and led the team with 77 yards rushing, but the offense as a whole struggled.
Nocona had a tough time stopping Henrietta on the ground and containing big passing plays.
It will only get harder as the Indians get ready to host Holliday, the district favorite who only has one loss this season. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 23.

Forestburg
The Forestburg Longhorns lost to Grayson Christian on Friday at Alvord in their final non-district game.
The Falcons easily won against the Longhorns 62-12 early in the third quarter.
One of the few positives to take from the game was the fact Forestburg made it to the second half however briefly.
Jeremiah Perez led the team with 52 yards rushing and scored a touchdown. Braxton Osteen threw for 67 yards and one touchdown that went to Jaden Meek.
Forestburg has had a fraught past three weeks with two games canceled and having to find new opponents with a bye-week in the middle of it.
The Longhorns start district play this week and know it will be tough if they want to repeat as district champions.
Forestburg starts playing at the proverbial district favorite Fannindel, a team that has not lost a game this season. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 23.

The Bowie boys golf team competed at the Diamondback National Golf Course in Abilene for a big tournament on Monday.
Coach Matthew Miller did not report what place the team got, but indicated the tournament was both big and deep of players and schools from bigger schools than the team usually competes with.
The team’s total was not its best, but it was not far off what it has been shooting, but for this tournament that was not enough to finish as high as it usually does.
Cy Egenbacher led the team shooting 80. Zac Harris was one shot behind shooting 87. Rayder Mann and Andrew Sandhoff rounded off the team’s scoring shooting 87 and 89 for a 337 total.
Hunter Fluitt shot 106 for the team, but it did not count towards it.
Hunter Lea competed as an individual and ended up shooting 85.
Miller thought his players had trouble stringing good holes together.
The bump in the competition has hopefully prepared the team for the district tournament next week. The Bowie Lady Rabbits team spent time at the district course this week instead of competing in a tournament.
It is scheduled for a two-day tournament on March 29-30 at River Creek Golf Course in Burkburnett.

The Bowie track teams went to two different meets this week with the boys going to Jacksboro and the girls competing at City View.
The Bowie boy’s team finished fourth overall while the Lady Rabbits team standing was not shared.
The Jackrabbits changed meets to Wednesday to allow any powerlifting boys the chance to compete since five were going to the state meet and it would have conflicted with Thursday’s original meet at City View.
Bowie came away with two first place finishes.
For the Lady Rabbits competing at City View, Neely Price and Amylee Valdez had the best individual finishes.

Bowie Jackrabbits’ baseball takes district win against Vernon in final two innings

The Bowie Jackrabbit baseball team came on in the fifth and sixth innings to steal the win from Vernon at home on Tuesday night.
The Jackrabbits scored six runs in their final two innings to pull ahead 7-5 against the Lions.
Bowie came into the game following a disappointing loss to Iowa Park the previous week which meant it was at 1-1 in district play so far. Vernon came into the game with two losses against Jacksboro and Holliday, the Lions had only lost to the reigning district champ Eagles 2-1 with Cross Durham on the mound.
Vernon started him on Tuesday and Bowie answered with freshman Edmond DeLeon, who despite his age has been the best pitcher this season for the Jackrabbits.
DeLeon got off to a rough start in the opening inning. The Lions loaded the bases after a single and two walks with one out. Next batter hit a double to left field that scored two runs to put Vernon up 2-0.
DeLeon had runners at third and second, but struck out the next batter and induced an infield pop out to shortstop for out three to limit the damage.
