The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team won District 3A-9 last week, completing the regular season with a 27-5 mark and 14-0 in district action.

Bowie played Whitesboro Monday in the Bi-District 3A-II game at Sanger High School.
Sunnyvale holds the top spot at 30-2, and Shallowater is second at 26-1.
Also in polling, Bellevue moved to 24-7 and won District 1A-21 boys’ championship with a convincing 80-60 victory over Slidell this past Friday.
With the win, the Eagles moved from 18th to 17th spot in the TABC 1A boys’ poll.
The Eagles were unblemished at 13-0 heading into Tuesday’s regular-season finale against Gold-Burg.
Texline is the leader in 1A boys, compiling a 28-2 record, with Laneville second at 22-3. Throckmorton is sixth, at 17-2.
Slidell’s girls, who beat Forestburg 41-29 on Saturday for the District 1A-21 title, are 10th in the Texas Girls Coaches Association 1A poll. Slidell is 19th in the TABC 1A girls poll, with a 26-4 record. Read more 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.
