FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: Bowie falls to Hirschi by 12
By ERIC VICCARO
The Bowie High School football had fourth down-and-1 at the Hirschi 40-yard line late in the game.
Down just six points at the time midway through the fourth quarter, the Jackrabbits had a mishandled snap and they couldn’t convert.
“One play did not cost us the game,” Bowie head football coach Dylan Stark said. “There were many different things.”
Stark said he applauded Bowie’s effort, but the team “could not get over the hump” and earn the win.
Bowie stands at 0-1 heading into next Friday’s home opener against Lake Worth.
The Jackrabbits tried staying stride for stride with the Huskies by using a short passing game; however, in the end Cedric Battle’s 304-yard rushing performance put Wichita Falls Hirschi over the top.
Bowie opened the scoring in the first quarter as Jay Ward caught a 24-pass from Lawson Mickler. Battle later responded with an 86-yard TD run.
The Jackrabbits’ Carter Shackelford scampered 13 yards for a TD in the final minute of the second quarter only to see Battle answer with a 64-yard TD run.
Kevin Stallcup powered his way to the end zone on a 3-yard TD run in the third quarter while Hirschi’s Deon Mitchell later countered with a 53-yard TD run.
Shackelford added his second TD rush of the game, with a 10-yard effort in the fourth, which closed the Huskies’ lead to six points. But, Battle scored two more TDs during the final frame, and it was enough to hold off Bowie.
Bowie finished with more than 400 total yards. Hirschi won in Danny Youngs’ debut as head coach.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.
In its first match, the Lady Panthers bested Sam Rayburn in a b est-of-three match 2-1 (25-11, 23-25, 25-14.) In the opener, senior Tatum Morman staked the Lady Panthers to a 4-0 lead with help from Kamron Skidmore and Olivia Johnson kills. The Lady Rebels would come back and tie the game at seven.
Savannah Hill’s kill broke serve and allowed Abby Carter to string together seven points. An ace and a Hill kill helped keep the drive alive. Hill later rolled off six points in a row, helped by two aces, to go up 23-10. Sam Rayburn broke serve but Saint Jo finished the game with a single Morman point.
Sam Rayburn came right out of the gate firing in the second game leading 4-0. A single Carter point, thrown down by a Hill block, and Hill’s four-point skein put the Lady Panthers up 8-6. Sam Rayburn tied the game at eight.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.

After splitting the first two games with Vernon Northside, Bowie’s volleyball team turned things out and wound with a 3-1 match win (25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-17).
Molly Enlow used two aces amidst a four-point string to give the Lady Rabbits a 5-1 lead in game one. Senior KP Rutherford’s pair of points extended the lead to 8-3.
Northside cut the deficit to 10-11 before Rutherford’s kill broke serve.
Bella Culwell’s point, aided by an Ellie Mowery kill, put Bowie up 13-10. Northside tied the game at 13 before Rutherford came through with another pair for a 17-14 lead. Lillie Maddox also had a deuce for a 20-15 lead and force a Lady INdian timeout.
Northside broke serve but a Sophie Maddox block and Lillie Maddox three-point string gave the squad game point at 24-16. The squads exchanged side outs to end the game.
