The Saint Jo girls’ and Bellevue boys’ cross country teams garnered District 1A-21 team titles during Wednesday’s meet at Twisted Oaks Golf Club.
Ashley Reyling fueled the Lady Panthers, with a gold-medal time of 15 minutes, 19 seconds, which was 20 seconds faster than teammate Katrina Noble, over the 3,200-meter course.
Saint Jo finished with just 19 points, four away from the minimum possible to score.
“I am extremely proud of how our kids ran at the district meet,” said Saint Jo head coach Kyle Sivadon. “They have worked hard to be running very good right now. Ashley and Katrina have been pushing everyone else, and improving greatly.”
The top-3 teams and top-10 individuals advanced to the Region 3-1A meet set for Lynn Creek Park in Grand Prairie set for Monday, Oct. 26.
On the boys’ side, Forestburg’s Skyler Sandusky staved off Bellevue’s Gavin Moore for the gold medal. Sandusky raced in with a time of 18:53, which was seven seconds better than Moore, over the 5,000-meter course.
The top-five boys finished within 40 seconds of each other, which included Saint Jo qualifier Juan Sanchez, Gold-Burg’s Brandon Lee and Jonah Belcher, also of Bellevue.
“I am proud of his effort,” said Forestburg head coach Steve Sandusky regarding his son’s performance. “He’s put in so much work to get where he’s at.”
Sandusky caught Moore for the top spot in the final 400 meters.
Gold-Burg head boys’ coach Aaron Tefertiller was satisfied with the Bears’ second-place performance.
“Varsity had a goal of making it to regionals this year,” Tefertiller said. “We talked about the opportunity. The boys ran well, and we were able to take the second-place team spot. I’m extremely proud of the boys.” 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.
