Brandt Cassetty, a recent graduate from Bellevue High, soaked up the competition like a wet sponge at the Texas 6-Man Coaches Association all-star boys’ basketball game Saturday.
“It was really intense to play in a game of this high caliber,” Cassetty said. “There are some very strong athletes in the small schools, and it was exciting I got to play at Midwestern State University.”
Cassetty fondly recalled competing at D.L. Ligon Coliseum in Wichita Falls in previous Christmas tournaments.
“I was comfortable with the lights and the crowd,” he said.
Brandt, who stands 5-foot-11, was certainly comfortable. He scored 10 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished off four assists as the team captain for the East squad.
“I think Brandt made us all proud,” said Bellevue Head Boys’ Basketball Coach Colby Broussard, who was among those in attendance along with a many others from this small Clay County community.
Cassetty made good on 5-of-10 shots from the field, but he missed all three 3-point attempts he took.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).

The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.

Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.

The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.

It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.

The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.

Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
