SPORTS IN BRIEF: Students honored for their academics
Many local athletes were honored by state associations for their hard work in the classroom.
Bowie’s Logan McMurray and Lily Gill and Miriam Diaz and Victoria Fatheree from Nocona were all named academic all-state in cross country by the Texas Girls Coaches Association.
In volleyball, Stephanie Clement from Bowie and four girls from Nocona – Makenzie Breeze, Katelynn Walker, Kady Hackley and Madilynn Cable – were so honored.
The Texas High School Coaches Association also recognized several Bowie athletes. Cassie Caswell and Clement were academic all-state choices in volleyball and Lee Robertson, Dylan Slade, Jesse Vaughn were chosen from the Jackrabbit football program.
To make the TGCA academic-all-state team, athletes must possess a grade-point average of 94 or above, be a senior and a team member in good standing.

Sports in Brief (Metro graphic)
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.
