Three boys will represent Bowie High School today at the Texas High School Powerlifting Association state meet.
The meet will take place starting at 8:45 a.m. in the Taylor County Expo Center in Abilene.
Cristian Martinez will compete for the Jackrabbits in the 132-pound division. Martinez’ best three-lift total this season has been 1,035 pounds.
Abraham Landaverde is set for the 148-pound class. His best three-lift total this season is 1,140 pounds.
Rounding out the group is Saul Landaverde at 242 pounds, with his best three-lift total this year at 1,360 pounds.
Bowie head powerlifting coach Quentin Berend said this will mark the first time at state for all three boys.
“It’s the highest number of qualifiers we’ve had, so we’re pretty pumped up about that,” Berend said. “I think we will be in contention for medals.”
Martinez and Abraham Landaverde have been hovering near the top of regional rankings all year and Saul Landaverde worked his way up to second place after the Region 6 meet in Chico in February.
“Their totals have been increasing all year,” Berend said.
Today’s weigh-in is from 6:30-8 a.m. There will be a judges/coaches meeting at 8 a.m. and then the opening ceremonies. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

Jacksboro defeats Lady Rabbit VB, 3-1

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.
