FRIDAY NIGHT FINALS: Henderson makes a point in Bowie win
By ERIC VICCARO
The Bowie High School football team has played well enough to win because of its defense all season long.
Friday, the Jackrabbit defense recovered four fumbles in a season-ending 34-0 whitewash over visiting Paradise.
Bowie finished the season 2-8, 1-4 in District 4-3A-I.
Senior offensive lineman William Henderson punctuated the victory by making the last extra point after Kevin Stallcup punched in a 1-yard touchdown run.
Trace Hardee threw two TD passes, including a 51-yard aerial to Jesse Vaughn.
Senior Jay Ward also scored a TD in his final game, on a 10-yard scamper.

Throckmorton 64, Forestburg 7
Throckmorton claimed the District 12-1A-II title with a thrashing over homestanding Forestburg at Longhorn Field.
Wide receiver Bryan McDowell and quarterback Matthew Wallace hooked up on Forestburg’s lone score, 15-yard touchdown pass.
Forestburg finishes the regular season at 6-3 overall, 2-1 in the district.
The Longhorns will face Chillicothe in the Conference 1A Division II bi-district playoffs either next Thursday or Friday.
Forestburg head coach Wayne Tuckwell said the exact date, time and location will be pinned down by Monday at the very latest.
The Longhorns had a chance to make the final score more respectable; however, Forestburg had several dropped passes and turnovers – both of which keyed Throckmorton’s scoring barrage.
The Greyhounds set the tone for the game on the first play – a 43-yard touchdown strike from Adam Hernandez to Coletyn King. Throckmorton amassed 48 first-quarter points, and the game was stopped at halftime.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.
In its first match, the Lady Panthers bested Sam Rayburn in a b est-of-three match 2-1 (25-11, 23-25, 25-14.) In the opener, senior Tatum Morman staked the Lady Panthers to a 4-0 lead with help from Kamron Skidmore and Olivia Johnson kills. The Lady Rebels would come back and tie the game at seven.
Savannah Hill’s kill broke serve and allowed Abby Carter to string together seven points. An ace and a Hill kill helped keep the drive alive. Hill later rolled off six points in a row, helped by two aces, to go up 23-10. Sam Rayburn broke serve but Saint Jo finished the game with a single Morman point.
Sam Rayburn came right out of the gate firing in the second game leading 4-0. A single Carter point, thrown down by a Hill block, and Hill’s four-point skein put the Lady Panthers up 8-6. Sam Rayburn tied the game at eight.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.

After splitting the first two games with Vernon Northside, Bowie’s volleyball team turned things out and wound with a 3-1 match win (25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-17).
Molly Enlow used two aces amidst a four-point string to give the Lady Rabbits a 5-1 lead in game one. Senior KP Rutherford’s pair of points extended the lead to 8-3.
Northside cut the deficit to 10-11 before Rutherford’s kill broke serve.
Bella Culwell’s point, aided by an Ellie Mowery kill, put Bowie up 13-10. Northside tied the game at 13 before Rutherford came through with another pair for a 17-14 lead. Lillie Maddox also had a deuce for a 20-15 lead and force a Lady INdian timeout.
