The Bowie High School football team will face an old-school offense this Friday when Aubrey visits Jackrabbit Stadium.
Aubrey, under head coach Keith Ivy, will run a Wing-T – which dates back to the 1940s under Delaware coaches David Nelson and Tubby Raymond.
In the Wing-T, the quarterback and fullback form an “I” with a pair of wing backs – including one lining up diagonally from the tight end.
“We’ll have to read our keys,” Bowie head coach Dylan Stark said. “We’ve been working on it in practice, and I think we will play well. I’m excited to see how we will do against it.”
The Wing-T is predicated on both options and misdirection, and that puts pressure on linebackers to perform. L.B. Clement will pilot the Jackrabbit defense, coming off a season in which he recorded 95 tackles.
Aubrey will run a 4-3 defense, something which Stark said the Jackrabbit offense is capable of handling.
Bowie scored more than 400 points last season; but, the Jackrabbits will be using a third-string quarterback on Friday. There are several possibilities that could play quarterback Friday – including Brandon Hutto, Gary Mosley and Dustin VanWey.

Other county games

Alvord at Nocona

Alvord has a new offensive coordinator in Danny Nabors, the former coach at Paradise. The Bulldogs have transitioned to more of a spread team.

Forestburg at Notre Dame

This six-man contest in Wichita Falls will be between an area finalist in University Interscholastic League Division II and private school Division II state runner-up.

Benjamin at Gold-Burg

Gold-Burg head coach Jay Johnson reported seven boys will suit up for Friday night’s game versus Benjamin. The Mustangs were a playoff qualifier last season; but, Benjamin exited early after a loss to Forestburg at Vernon Northside.

Saturday’s game

At Blanket

Saint Jo vs. Nueces Canyon

The Saint Jo football team will participate in a “Six-Man Showcase” game at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday versus Barksdale Nueces Canyon at Blanket. Saint Jo head coach Chad Tallon said Nueces Canyon is going through what Saint Jo did about a decade ago – transitioning from 11- to six-man football.

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.
