Bowie played its home opener on Tuesday against Millsap.
And the Jackrabbits improved to 2-0 after a 51-45 win in a rather eventful game at BHS Gymnasium.
“We played some good second and third quarters,” said head coach Doug Boxell. “The fourth quarter got a little out of hand, but we still managed to keep control.”
The opening quarter was a tight one, as Bowie gained their first lead of the game within the final minute of the quarter with a 13-11 score.
“Both teams started off that quarter well,” Boxell said. “They both hit some good threes at the beginning.”
However the animosity between the two teams took center stage in the game, mainly in the fourth quarter. Both teams had some rough bouts of pushing and shoving which ultimately ended in the Millsap fans and team leaving in disgust.
However Boxell, who after a foul committed against Jeffery Howard in the fourth quarter stormed out to the court to confront the culprit, exercised calm with the team.
“Well sometimes you just have to stick up for one of your players like that,” Boxell said regarding that moment. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the weekend Bowie News.

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.
