For second-year Bowie High School head baseball coach Ryan Rogers, the reward was seeing jubilation on the Jackrabbits’ faces.
“There was a lot of excitement,” Rogers said as Bowie defeated Holliday 11-3 en route to clinching the District 3A-9 title. “It’s a reward for all the hard work they’ve done. It’s good for the kids and the community.”
Bowie won its first district championship in nearly a decade (2006) as Kamry Weber smacked a second-inning grand slam and Chandler Dean used his finesse more than his fastball to get outs.
The Jackrabbits, ranked in the top-10 in Conference 3A in every state poll, have improved to 22-1-2 and 12-0 in 3A-9. Bowie played Montague County rival Nocona on Senior Night Tuesday before wrapping up the season on the road Friday at Boyd.
Weber’s home run was just the start of Bowie’s offensive barrage.
“I was hoping it would go out,” Rogers said. “I knew it had a shot because of the short right field fence. It was big for us.”
On a two-ball, two-strike count, Weber turned on a Zach Gowen pitch and lifted the ball toward right field. The wind carried it past the fence by a few feet for the homer.
Dylan Slade opened the second inning with a single. 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.
