HIGH SCHOOL GOLF: Season ramps up for Rabbits

Golf season ramps up next week for the Bowie High School boys’ and girls’ golf teams as they play host to their own tournaments.
The girls’ tournament is set for 9 a.m. on Monday, with the boys’ event set for the same time on Wednesday at Twisted Oaks Golf Club.
Players will receive a meal deal, and this is an 18-hole formatted tournament, but players will deal with differing tee boxes during each nine holes.
“We have most everybody back on the boys’ side,” Bowie head golf coach Jonathan Horton said. “And Chloe Polk qualified for the regional tournament.”
Horton said the players have enjoyed recent good weather – getting plenty of practice time at Twisted Oaks.
So, what will make Twisted Oaks such a challenge?
“It’s the trees,” Horton said. “You have to squeeze shots down the fairways. You have to place your shots. You can’t just swing away.”
Horton said he’s looking forward to seeing how the players adjust to Twisted Oaks’ redesign as the course has been reduced from 18 holes to nine holes. Read more, and see the season schedule, in the March 5 Bowie News.

Jacksboro defeats Lady Rabbit VB, 3-1
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 gives it a go, falls to Perrin 35-32
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.
