The Bowie High School boys’ and girls’ track and field teams took the next step on the journey Thursday evening, competing at the Jacksboro Invitational.
The boys finished second overall with 119 points, which was well behind front-runner Graham but ahead of fellow District 3A-9 teams.
“I was pleased with how we did,” Bowie boys’ head coach Daylon West said. “I thought we would be able to squeeze out a few more points in events, but the kids competed well.”
West was pleased with how relays performed, saying handoffs are improving. Senior Zeke Vaughan scored a lion’s share of points for the squad, which also received stellar performances from Jeffery Howard, Gary Mosley, Daniel Mosley and Logan Boyd among others.
The girls were eighth overall, collecting 29 points and placed ahead of 3A-9 foe Boyd.
“I was proud of how hard our kids competed at Jacksboro,” girls’ head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek said. “We are improving each week in preparation for district. We had some season-bests in multiple events.”
The meet featured several District 3A-9 schools including meet host Jacksboro and Paradise.

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.
