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 at 7:30 p.m. on Friday in Archer City.
Chillicothe won District 11-1A-II, but the Eagles are nowhere near as dominant as Throckmorton. That should give Forestburg a chance to win.
The Eagles (6-4 overall) allowed 310 points this season while scoring 389, meanwhile Forestburg outscored opponents 442-375.
Chillicothe is a senior-laden team with the likes of running back Denzel Graves and quarterback Creed Harris guiding the offense. Both of them amassed more than 1,000 yards in total offense last year.
Junior Connor Pautsky propels the Eagle defense at linebacker.
“In the playoffs, everybody is 0-0,” Forestburg head coach Wayne Tuckwell said. “We’re going to have to work hard to win the game.”
Tuckwell said practices this week would be designed to prepare the Longhorns for Chillicothe. The coach said for Forestburg to accomplish its goal of playing in the postseason has been satisfying, but the Longhorns should strive for even more.

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.

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.”
