Cooper Cantwell got the start for the Bowie Jackrabbits against Jacksboro Friday night.
He dazzled again, allowing only one run and one hit – both in the seventh inning – while striking out 10 and walking two, leading Bowie to a 5-1 win over the Tigers.
“Cooper was efficient on the mound,” said head coach Ryan Rogers. “He had command of the game all night.”
Bowie, ranked as high as sixth in Conference 3A in statewide polls, improved to 18-1-2, 8-0 in District 3A-9.
Cantwell, who threw strikes nearly 66 percent of the time in the win, got plenty of run support as well.
The Jackrabbits opened scoring in the bottom of the second inning as Dylan Slade tagged up and tapped home plate after a Trace Hardee RBI flyout. Slade opened the inning with a single to center field.
Kamry Weber later provided an RBI single to score Carter Shackelford, who drew a walk.
Bowie added three more runs in the bottom of the fourth, which was more than enough offense on this night. Read more, and see the complete box score, 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.
