FRIDAY NIGHT FINALS: Montague County Blues
Early in the fourth quarter, it appeared as if the Bowie High School football team was going to receive the football after a Brock fumble deep in Jackrabbit territory.
However, the officials reversed their original call and awarded Brock the ball.
The Eagles scored a short time later en route to a 36-26 victory over Bowie at Jackrabbit Stadium in District 4-3A-I action on Friday.
Quarterback Lawson Mickler hooked up with Jesse Vaughn on a pair of TD passes in the second half as the Jackrabbits attempted to stay stride for stride with the Eagles.
However, Brock pulled away by outscoring Bowie 15-6 in the fourth quarter.
Kevin Stallcup scored his sixth touchdown of the season on a short run in the opening frame.
Bowie dropped to 1-6, 0-2 in 4-3A-I. The team will play at Breckenridge on Oct. 24 at 7:30 p.m.

After a tough loss to open District 10-A volleyball play, Bellevue’s squad used the two-day break to refocus its efforts. The break worked as the Lady Eagles evened its record at 1-1 with a 3-0 win over visiting Midway Sept. 24 (25-17, 25-22, 25-20).
Bellevue Coach Jamie Hickey said working on game scenarios in practice has begun to pay off. Keeping focus was key to the victory as well.
“I think our key tonight was our mindset and just staying together,” Hickey said. “Letting mistakes go and focusing on the next play. We’ve been working on scenarios in practice and being intentional with each possession and attacking the ball more. I think we did tonight.” The Falcons played gutsy all night long, staying in each game after Bellevue had taken a good lead but the Lady Eagles, playing before a large crowd, held their own.
