There will be three sporting events in Montague County this weekend, ranging from a Wolf Chase clay shoot to a youth rodeo and a touch football game.
The youth rodeo and the touch football game will both benefit Easton Womack, who continues to recover from injuries sustained in a vehicular accident back during spring.
The Nocona High School Alumni touch football game is set for 6 p.m. this evening at Jack Crain Stadium.
Wayne Jacobs, barber, said he’s looking forward to participating in the game.
“It will bring back tons of memories,” Jacobs said. “I just hope my body holds up. I love playing on Jack Crain field, and it’s for a great cause.”
Jacobs played offensive guard and middle linebacker for Nocona in the late-1980s. He played for former coaches Willie Brooks and David Crawford.
Jacobs reported the last time there was a full-time, full-contact game was 1996.
“We want to do anything we can to help out the Womack family,” said J.T. Mitchell, one of the event organizers.
Mitchell played along side Easton Womack’s father, John, at Nocona with the 1987 team that went 4-5-1. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

Jackrabbits
A day after football season ended and the Bowie boy’s basketball team played its first game of the season and is working towards a new goal this season.
The Jackrabbits lost that first game against Sanger on Nov. 9, 70-36 before bouncing back a few days later after some practice to beat Bridgeport on Nov. 12, 56-51.
Bowie comes into this season after falling just short of making the playoffs last season.
The team graduated two of its three double-digit scorers along with an experienced post player from its starting rotation last season.
Rayder Mann is the team’s most proven scorer from last season, but other players will be counted on to step up according to Coach Ryan Dykes, who enters his second season at Bowie.
“Rayder Mann and Bradly Horton will need to be the floor generals for us to be successful,” Dykes said. “Boston Farris will be counted on to be a productive player and Gaige Goodman will need to be a factor in the paint on both the offensive and defensive end.”
In the first game against Sanger, Mann led the team with 13 points while Goodman was second with eight points.
The offense was much better overall against Bridgeport. Horton had 15 points, Mann had 14 points and Farris had nine points as Bowie scored in double-digits in every quarter of the game.

Lady Rabbits
In the second week of the season the Bowie Lady Rabbits had up and down performances.
The Lady Rabbits lost at Bridgeport on Nov. 9, 68-30 but bounced back to win at home on Nov. 12 against Boyd 55-42.
Against Bridgeport, Bowie gave up too many three-pointers on defense as the Sissies made 12 in the game.
It was too much for the Lady Rabbits to keep up with.
Parker Riddle led the team with 14 points while Payton Holt was second with five points.
The offense was more successful overall and balanced against Boyd, pulling away in the second half. Hanna Bell led the team with 13 points while Holt was second with eight points and Lanie Moore had seven points.
