FRIDAY NIGHT FINALS: Cards stack deck, beat Bowie
By ERIC VICCARO
Bowie High School head football coach Dylan Stark beefed up the Jackrabbits schedule in 2014, and Friday’s opponent was no different.
Pottsboro used a balanced offense and took advantage of two costly Bowie first-half fumbles to record a 52-19 victory on Friday at Jackrabbit Stadium.
“I thought we moved the ball,” Stark said. “We did some good things in the first half. We had two big turnovers, and you can’t do that against a good team. The halftime score would have been closer if we didn’t.”
Stark complimented Pottsboro on passing the ball just as well as threw it.
Bowie wraps up non-district play on Sept. 26 against Gunter. That will mark Homecoming Night for the Jackrabbits.
Bowie actually had the lead early as Jeffery Howard, promoted to the varsity roster in recent days, caught a 13-yard TD pass from Lawson Mickler.
Pottsboro claimed the lead late in the first quarter on a Thadeus Flinn four-yard run. Flinn finished the night with three TD runs.
Bowie closed the gap on Pottsboro in the second quarter as Brandon Hutto went up the middle on a 30-yard TD rumble. The Jackrabbits cut the Cardinals’ lead to 17-13 with less than six minutes left before intermission.
That’s when Pottsboro scored the game’s next five touchdowns, and effectively put the game out of reach. Jesse Vaughn contributed a 14-yard run for the Jackrabbits in the fourth quarter.

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.
