AREA FOOTBALL: Saint Jo pounds Bryson in season-ending game

Published

on

All seven of Saint Jo’s seniors scored in some fashion – including Daimeon Lawler tackling a Bryson player in the end zone – as the Panthers ended the 2014 campaign on a high note with a comfortable 32-point victory, 54-22.
“That was our motivation,” Saint Jo head coach Chad Tallon said. “We wanted to get a win and get to .500. This means a lot to all the seniors. We’d been struggling. But, they put it all together here. It was one of our most complete games of the year.”
Laramie Brawner added an 80-yard punt return touchdown, covering the entire length of a 6-man football field.
Garrett Parker punched in two third-quarter TDs and Colton Thomas, Anthony Gutierrez and Baltazar Lozano also scored rushing TDs.
Saint Jo was up 24-8 at halftime, and the Panthers coasted from there.
The team racked up 417 total yards in offense. Gutierrez keyed the ground game with 157 yards on 17 carries. Parker rushed for 93 yards and added 59 more rushing. Colton Thomas caught two passes for 51 yards. Read the mid-week Bowie News for more.

Red River Bass Club closes season

Published

on

The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.

Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.

Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

Stewart becoming new BHS golf coach

Published

on

New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.

Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.

He originally had never planned on coaching golf.

“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
