FOOTBALL: Area teams looking for bounce back

Three Montague County schools must bounce back from heavy losses as the eighth week of the season takes place on Friday.
Denton Calvary defeated Saint Jo 61-8 while Cisco shut out Nocona 48-0 and Tioga whitewashed Gold-Burg 51-0.
This week, Saint Jo will play at tough Savoy in a battle of 3-3 teams. Nocona will travel to Wichita Falls and play City View at Veterans Field. Gold-Burg makes the two-hour drive to Benjamin for its final non-district six-man game.
As of press time, it was a 50-50 proposition whether Jeremy James would be healthy enough to start at quarterback for Nocona against City View.
James suffered a shoulder injury during an Oct. 2 loss to Holliday.
“It’s still up in the air, it depends on his arm strength,” Nocona head coach Brad Keck said.
City View has a talented running back in Deon’Tray Jordan, and the Mustangs are coming off a 42-27 victory over Millsap. Tamell Monroe will be under center.
“They’ve got a good running back, and a rushing type of quarterback,” Keck said. “They are fast. We have to contain them. If they get to the second level, they can score.”
City View is efficient running screen plays as part of its spread offense. Defensively, the Mustangs will run both a 4-3 and a 3-3 stack, with Ronnie Killen making it go.
Nocona’s games have been more defensive-minded as the Indians have given up 190 points in six games. Meanwhile, City View has surrendered 232 during the same amount of contests. Read more in the mid-week 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.
