The Bowie Jackrabbits looked to keep a glimmer of light on their playoff chances Friday as they traveled to Ponder to take on the Lions.
However after leading through most of the game, the Jackrabbits would fall to 1-8 and 0-4 in district after a 24-20 loss.
The loss was Bowie’s second in district play when leading up until the two-minute mark in the fourth quarter.
“I feel like the team did some things well,” said head coach Dylan Stark. “We just couldn’t finish them off. We couldn’t make the big play.”
All of the scoring occurred in the second act of both halves.
Bowie gained the lead in the second quarter courtesy of a 17-yard rushing touchdown by Carter Shackelford.
The first half ended with Bowie up 14-12. However, after Trace Hardee connected with Chase Hall from 15 yards out, the tide changed.
Ponder’s Brady Anderson made two big plays in the fourth, a one-yard touchdown run and a five-yard passing TD to give Ponder the lead.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).

The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.

Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.

The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.

It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.

The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.

Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
