ARCHERY: Sears takes more honors

Published

on

Montague Independent School District eighth-grader Connor Sears continues to pile up the accolades in the sport of archery.
Two weekends ago at the Texas Field Archery Association state meet in the Waco Convention Center, Sears garnered TFAA Shooter of the Year accolades.
Sears won the youth division and broke two state records, one for the highest score at the tournament and another for the highest cumulative score.
Sears recorded a perfect 1,500 cumulative score, which guarantees him an Olympic application.
At the meet in Waco, he recorded a score of 600 with 105 X’s – dropping only 15 X’s out of the 120 shots he fired. The previous record was 599.
Last weekend, Sears competed in a USA Archery event at College Station, and he won the Junior Olympic Archery Development Program’s Cub Division and the standard indoor nationals.
This weekend, Sears is expected to compete at the National Field Archery Association indoor meet slated for Cinnamon Creek Ranch in Roanoke, before heading into outdoor season.

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 gives it a go, falls to Perrin 35-32

Published

on

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.
