7-ON-7 FOOTBALL: Mixed bag for Rabbits
The Bowie High School football team won one game, and lost two others at a 7-on-7 State Qualifying Tournament on Saturday at Wichita Falls.
Bowie defeated First Baptist Academy of Dallas, but suffered losses to Argyle 42-14, and Scurry-Rosser. The score versus Scurry-Rosser couldn’t be verified.
Argyle and Brock were the qualifiers from this tournament to the state Division II tournament, which will take place July 9-10 at Veterans Park and Athletic Complex in College Station.
Bowie will have one more chance to qualify for state when the it competes in the Boyd SQT on June 20.
“I was pleased with the effort,” Bowie head football coach Dylan Stark said. “They looked sharp, and every game was competitive.”
Due to University Interscholastic League rules, Stark and his assistants were unable to coach the team. Rather, Craig Stallcup served as the coach.
“I think we played well, and we had some standout plays,” Stallcup said.
Players dealt with various weather conditions. The opening game versus Scurry-Rosser at Memorial Stadium was wet while games versus First Baptist Academy and Argyle were humid.
In 7-on-7 football, the field is 45 yards long. All offensive plays must be passes. The field is marked at 15-yard intervals with cones, and three first downs without a penalty results in a touchdown. Read more 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.
