Forestburg basketball had a handful of schools over this past weekend for a tournament.
With the boys winning their first game Friday and the girls winning their games Thursday and Friday, both Forestburg squads played in the championship bracket.
However, both would fall to Muenster Sacred Heart.
The Lady Horns opened play against the Chico junior varsity team. Forestburg cruised to a 59-10 win.
Wichita Christian was next in line for the host team late Friday afternoon. The Lady Horns came out firing on all cylinders, getting a big 61-15 win.
“We played well,” said head coach Rosana Barbosa. “We were able to run the offense and try some new things. The defense was strong, and we had a good shooting night.”
Forestburg played a tremendous first half, holding their opponent to two points in both quarters while scoring 28 points before the half.
Though the team let their foot off the gas a little in the second half, Barbosa said the defense still had a tremendous effort in the game.
Alexia Britain paced the team with 16 points, also adding 10 rebounds, one steal and a block. Kaylee Choate recorded 12 points, five rebounds, six steals and an assist. Samantha Reynolds tallied nine points with one rebound, two assists and two steals.
The win paved the way for a championship game matchup against the Lady Tigers of Sacred Heart. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the mid-week 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.
