HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL: Bowie hears rallying cry, wins

Bowie High School shortstop Chandler Dean saw Glen Dunnam hold up all five fingers when the pitching coach called for time in the top of the seventh inning.
Gunter had base runners on second and third base, and Dean hurried into the dugout to change his glove. He thought he was taking over for Trace Hardee on the mound.
Dunnam told Dean to return to shortstop, and player Justin Bolton scrambled in the dugout – and a second timeout was issued – in order give Dean his infielder’s glove back.
And it’s a good thing Bolton raced out there to hand Dean his fielder’s glove.
Gunter’s Mason Mazerolle lined out sharply to shortstop to end the game, giving Bowie the best-of-3 series over the Tigers as the Jackrabbits won the rubber game of the Conference 3A Region 2 quarterfinals 3-1.
“I was like, ‘What in the world is going on?’” said Bowie head baseball coach Ryan Rogers. “Everything was spinning. It was a miscommunication. We had to call time twice.”
Van Alstyne is next
Now Bowie will play Van Alstyne, another top-ranked team, in a best-3 series starting at 7 p.m. on May 26 at Kennedale. Game Two will take place at 2 p.m. on May 28, with the if-necessary Game Three 30 minutes thereafter.
Like Gunter, Van Alstyne won its district (3A-13). The Panthers are currently 24-2-2 on the season under head coach Jimmy Haynes.
Game Two
Bowie 9, Gunter 8
Keck Jones opened up the bottom of the sixth with an innocent single past shortstop Troy Watson. Trace Hardee followed by sacrificing Jones to second.
Game Three
Bowie 3, Gunter 1
Gunter could only muster one run during the game as Gunter tagged up at third and scored during the third inning. Read more, and see complete box scores, in the May 25 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.
