Both the Bowie and Nocona High School football teams put on the pads for the first time this season during full-contact practice on Friday at midnight.
A small but interested gathering of fans watched both the Jackrabbits and Indians work on fundamentals.
Bowie head coach Dylan Stark said the players were excited to don the pads.
“There’s a lot of excitement,” he said.
But, it’s also a serious time because this is when the techniques are taught, and both Bowie and Nocona aim for better fortunes in 2015.
Bowie won twice during the 2014 season, including only one district victory over Paradise. Meanwhile, Nocona went winless, and was outscored 420-83.
After stretching, Jackrabbit players participated in a circle drill, with the main purpose for the players to understand how leverage works in football.
Various groups spent the remainder of practice working on offense and defense.
There was a drill involving Bowie wide receivers and running backs catching passes, while offensive linemen perfected blocking on the sled.
Stark said he’s satisfied with how practice has gone so far. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.

Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.

Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.

Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.

He originally had never planned on coaching golf.

“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
