Many Bowie High School football players were recognized as the best when District 4-3A-I accolades came out on Monday.
Bowie junior Carter Shackelford was picked as a first-team running back while teammate Brandon Hutto was a second-team selection.
On the offensive line, Bowie’s Josh Monkres was picked alongside David Correa, who battled back from injury for a spot on the district’s second team.
Chase Hall rounded out the Jackrabbits selections on offense. Hall was a first team wide receiver.
Brock’s Leddy French earned district most valuable player while teammate Zane Young was picked as the newcomer of the year.
Breckenridge had two players of special distinction with Austin Dooley as the defensive most valuable player and Cason Mayo as the most outstanding lineman. Boyd’s Qualynn Wells earned most valuable player on offense.
As for the defensive team, end Kevin Stallcup was chosen for the first team. Jared Roberts was named a second-team defensive lineman.
Like on offense, Shackelford and Hall was chosen for their ability to play stout defense, too. Hall was a first team defensive back and Shackelford was a second team linebacker. Hutto was a second-team defensive back to round out the Jackrabbit selections.
Several Bowie players were named honorable mentions: wide receivers Jesse Vaughn and Jay Ward, quarterbacks Lawson Mickler and Trace Hardee, running back Kevin Stallcup, defensive end Tilghman Parr and linebackers R.J. Oliver, Abraham Landaverde and Saul Landaverde. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.

Bellevue, in its first volleyball playoff game in school history, gave it a solid shot Saturday against Crowell but a powerful front court enabled the Lady ‘Cats to move on in the Class A playoffs with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-20, 25-18) win over the Lady Eagles.
Bellevue Coach Jamie Hickey was proud of her squad’s effort.
“We played how I expected for a team to play in their first ever playoff game,” Hickey said following the match at Iowa Park High. “Definitely some areas were noticed that need some work, but lots of room for growth and to build.”

In the playoffs, being consistent is even more important than the regular season.
Bowie’s consistency ebbed and flowed Oct. 30 in its bi-district volleyball matchup with Peaster. The Lady ‘Hounds were able to capitalize on that and wound up knocking the Lady Rabbits out of the postseason with a 3-0 (25-14, 25-11, 25-19) win at Graham High School.
Bowie Coach Ashley Sanders said her squad never completely got on track.
“When you get to this level, into the postseason, you have to find the rhythm and that consistency and Peaster definitely had that,” Sanders said. “We struggled to find our consistency. We had our moments where we tied together some really good plays.”
