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.

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.
