What a time for Bellevue’s Devon Cassetty to break the 14-minute threshold – at the District 1A-21 cross country meet on Wednesday at Willa Walla Shooting Complex in Dye Mound.
“The hard work the girls put in during the season paid off during the meet,” Bellevue co-head cross country coach Colby Broussard said. “The high school team surpassed my expectations with three top-10 finishers and a district champion. They are one of the hardest working teams I’ve ever coached.”
Cassetty won the district title with a time of 13 minutes, 45 seconds, to win the meet.
Saint Jo won the girls team title and Bellevue was second. On the boys’ side, Bellevue took the team title. All three of these squads have advanced to the regional meet set for Lynn Creek Park in Grand Prairie on Nov. 1.
The Conference 3A girls will run at 1 p.m. followed by the 3A boys at 1:30 p.m. Conference 1A girls will run at 3 p.m. and the 1A boys at 3:30 p.m.
The Bowie News’ Conference 3A schools are Bowie and Nocona. Bellevue, Forestburg, Prairie Valley and Saint Jo are all in Conference 1A. Bellevue’s Kyle Waller, who didn’t qualify for the regional meet last year, was the boys’ district champion in a personal-best time of 18:46. Waller’s time was 39 seconds clear of second-place Skyler Sandusky of Forestburg (19:25). Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

Bowie held off a stiff challenge from Slidell in Nocona Summer League action June 22, the Lady Rabbit basketball team posting a 17-15 win over the Lady ‘Hounds.

Slidell took a pair of early leads only to be met by a basket and 3-pointer by junior Laney Segura for a 5-4 Bowie lead. Sophomore newcomer Sawyer Martin’s free throws and a Kynlee Baker basket extended the lead to 9-4 midway through the 16-minute running clock first half.

Each team traded baskets to close the half, Bowie’s basket from Kylee Waldrep, as the Lady Rabbits took advantage of cold shooting from the Lady ‘Hounds to lead 11-6 at the break.

Slidell got within one early in the second half, using a size advantage inside for a couple of layins to get within 11-10 with about 12 minutes left. Bowie used another small run to take control again.
