The Bowie High School baseball team has advanced one step further than last year by virtue of a best-of-3 sweep over Whitesboro in the Conference 3A Bi-District round last weekend.
The Jackrabbits will take on Palmer on May 15-16 in a best-of-3 Area series scheduled for Chisholm Trail High School in Saginaw, a suburb of Fort Worth.
With weather permitting, Game One is set for 7 p.m. on May 15. Game Two will be at noon on May 16. If needed, Game Three will begin around 2:30 p.m. the same day.
Bowie head baseball coach Ryan Rogers said Palmer has a standout right-handed pitcher in Brian Archibald.
“They are a good team; I think they’ll throw No. 3 (Archibald) on Friday,” Rogers said. “He’s a big, strong kid. It’s going to be a big challenge coming up.”
Bowie stands at 26-1-2 on the season. The Jackrabbits haven’t lost since March 6, falling to Decatur 4-3. The team tied Castleberry at the NTX Tournament of Champions on March 19.
Then Bowie went through the District 3A-9 slate unblemished, before picking up the bi-district crown on Saturday, complete with gold glove.
The Jackrabbits have cranked up the offense recently, scoring double-digit runs in seven of their past eight games. Bowie has plated 104 runs during such time. Read more, and see complete game recaps and box scores, in the mid-week Bowie News.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.

In its first match, the Lady Panthers bested Sam Rayburn in a b est-of-three match 2-1 (25-11, 23-25, 25-14.) In the opener, senior Tatum Morman staked the Lady Panthers to a 4-0 lead with help from Kamron Skidmore and Olivia Johnson kills. The Lady Rebels would come back and tie the game at seven.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).

The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.

Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.

The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.
