HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: Bowie takes care of business in win

The Bowie High School volleyball team didn’t allow City View to gain any confidence during Tuesday’s District 3A-9 match.
Holliday surrendered a game to the Lady Mustangs during a 3A-9 match earlier this season, and on Sept. 26, Jacksboro and City View produced a second set score of 35-33 in favor of the Tigerettes.
The Lady Rabbits weren’t about to have such shenanigans, and they swept City View by scores of 25-15, 25-21, 25-8.
City View pressed Bowie the most in the second set, but a late Lady Rabbit run precluded the Lady Mustangs from victory.
“I thought the girls played well and executed versus City View,” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said. “They had gone four sets with a couple of our strong district teams, so I knew they had improved and were hungry for a win.”
Stark said the Lady Mustangs stayed closer with Bowie in the second set due to a spree of unforced errors.
Bowie stands at 18-13, and 3-3 in 3A-9. By virtue of a win over Boyd earlier this season, the Lady Rabbits would qualify for the postseason as the fourth-best team in the district right now.
Bowie played at Paradise on Friday. Read more, and see complete District 3A-9 standings, in the weekend Bowie News.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.

The Chisholm Trail Youth Rodeo had its awards ceremony this week, giving out plaques and buckles to the top competitors throughout the summer season.
There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.
Along with the best results in each event, at the end the overall best cowboy and cowgirl in each age division was awarded as well.
The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
There was no top overall cowboy in the age division.
