The Bowie High School football team earned its first victory of the season as Kevin Stallcup scored on a 1-yard run in overtime to give the Jackrabbits a 41-35 victory at Jackrabbit Stadium.

Bowie was up 35-27 in the fourth quarter when the Bullfrogs mounted a late rally. Lake Worth scored first on a safety, and then Tray White completed a 16-yard TD pass to Tony Birch.

The Bullfrogs misfired on the extra-point conversion, and that sent the game into overtime.

Bowie’s Lawson Mickler connected with Chase Hall on a pair of touchdowns and one more TD pass to Jay Ward. Carter Shackelford added a 10-yard TD run for the winning Jackrabbits.

Bowie travels to Henrietta next Friday, with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff.

Score By Quarters

Lake Worth 13 0 14 8 0 – 35

Bowie 7 7 7 14 6 – 41

Records: Lake Worth 0-2, Bowie 1-1

Muenster wallops Nocona

At Muenster, Nocona’s Kyle Santell threw a pair of touchdown passes and the Indians stayed competitive with the Hornets through one quarter.

But, the Conference 2A Division II eighth-ranked Muenster had way too many answers for Nocona in this battle of traditional rivals, winning 61-19.

Nocona will have its first home game of the season next Friday against Ponder.

The Indians and Hornets were tied at 13-all heading into the second quarter when the Hornets poured it on with 27 points. Muenster added 21 more points in the third quarter.

Dalton Bartel scored three of Muenster’s first four touchdowns.

At Wichita Falls, James Cantwell threw a pair of touchdown passes but it wasn’t nearly enough as Gold-Burg lost for the first time this season.

The game ended with 6 minutes, 39 seconds left in the third quarter.

Gold-Burg Record: 1-1

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
