The Bowie High School softball team wrapped up the Brock Tournament with two more wins.
On Friday, the Lady Rabbits topped Abilene Wylie by a score of 5-2. On Saturday, the team split with Midland Christian and Tolar, as the Lady Rabbits ran their record to 3-2.
“I was happy with the way we competed from inning to inning,” Bowie head coach Brant Farris said. “I am extremely pleased with our effort.”
Farris said the girls are learning terminology, and not yielding big run-scoring innings.
Bowie will play host to a tournament at the outdoor sports complex beginning on Feb. 25, taking on Petrolia at 8 a.m. and later facing Cleburne. Bowie also has games versus Cleburne, Southwest Christian and Springtown on Feb. 26-27.
Bowie scored three runs in the first, and capped off the victory with two more in the sixth over Abilene Wylie.
Callie Melton doubled and went 2-for-2, and Carrington Davis plated a pair of runs for Bowie.
The Lady Rabbits won despite committing seven errors. Read more in the Feb. 24 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.
