Howe picked up its first victory of the season on Friday evening at Bulldog Stadium – at the expense of winless Bowie.
The Jackrabbits scored only two touchdowns as Howe recorded a 38-13 victory.
“We made some big mistakes the led to points,” said Bowie head coach Dylan Stark. “We gave up a touchdown on a return. There were four or five plays that hurt us.”
Stark said Bowie’s offense is struggling to string positive plays together, and that was compounded going against a physical Howe team.
Now the Jackrabbits will play a Henrietta team that’s just as banged up with injuries as they are. Game time is set for 7 p.m. at Henrietta.
Stark knows the Bearcats will be a challenge.
“Henrietta’s a well-coached team, and they always play very well at home,” Stark said. “I know they will be ready for us. We’re going to need a really good week of practice.”
Henrietta runs a spread offense and 3-4 defensive alignment. The Bearcats have several players to watch – including wide receiver Ben McQueary, strong safety Kandon Bennett and running backs Landon Davis and Mason Hanson.

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.

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.
