Bowie High School anglers Hadley Morgan and Lane Hopson capped a strong year with a 22nd-place finish at the Texas High School Bass Association regional championship.
Morgan and Hopson caught 16.86 pounds worth of fish on Saturday and Sunday at Lake Tyler located in Whitehouse.
On the opening day, the two-person team weighed in five fish for 7.64 pounds. The pair was honored during the season-ending banquet on Saturday night, standing on the main stage for introductions.
“It was an awesome experience to get in the water,” Bowie bass fishing team coordinator Trent Gillaspia said. “There were 170 boats in the water at once. To witness that was pretty neat.”
Gillaspia said the competition was tough, but every qualifying member of the team caught fish.
“Everybody did well, everybody caught fish,” the coordinator commented. “Hadley and Lane got on their fish early.”
Mitch Sanders was 61st as a solo angler, weighing in 8.54 pounds of fish. Sanders caught a fish that weighed a whopping 5.69 pounds on Saturday.

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.
