The Bowie High School baseball team remained two games clear of everyone else in District 3A-9 with an 11-0 victory over Nocona on Friday.
Cooper Cantwell pitched a five-inning scoreless game, and Nocona didn’t help themselves any committing six errors.
Bowie improved to 16-1-2, 6-0 in District 3A-9 while Nocona dropped to 6-7, 2-4.
Despite being under .500 in district play, Nocona still has plenty to play for this season.
“We’re not going to give up,” Nocona second-year head coach Brent Lewis said. “The kids have been working hard and putting in the time. Anything can happen.”
There are still eight district games remaining.
Meanwhile, Bowie has become the class of District 3A-9 with its pitching, timely hitting and solid defense.
“I thought we played well,” Bowie baseball coach Ryan Rogers said. “We scored four runs in the top of the first, and we were able to settle in. Then, we had the other big inning. We did what we needed to do. It was a good win for us.”
Bowie capped the game by turning what Rogers called “the best double play the team has turned all year.”

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.
