Bowie High School boys’ basketball player Chase Hall had an unlimited charge account during Tuesday’s District 3A-9 clash against Nocona.
Hall was credited for taking five charges, including three in the first half. It appeared as if he took even more charges than that as Bowie defeated Nocona 55-45 – taking the district lead in the process.
“Bowie came out and made us very uncomfortable offensively,” Nocona head coach Tyson Mankin said. “They stepped in and took three charges early in the first quarter, I believe, before we even got a shot off. Those were big defensive possessions for them.”
Bowie head coach Doug Boxell agreed.
“It was huge, what Chase did,” Boxell said. “We kept them from scoring by taking charges. Those were some of the biggest plays in the game.”
Hall also contributed team-bests with nine rebounds, including four on the offensive glass, and three assists. He also had a couple of steals.
Boxell said Bowie had to play better defense this time around against Nocona, and that’s exactly what the Jackrabbits did – holding Nocona to three first-quarter points and 10 first-half points overall.
“They have some good 3-point shooters and they like to drive and kick the ball to the outside,” Boxell said. “We had to take away their right-hand dribble. We had to stay with their shooters and not help out on the drive.”

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.
