For the past couple of years, Holliday had served as host for the district meet.
The scene will shift from Wichita Falls to Boyd High School as cross country runners convene for the District 3A-8 meet on Oct. 17.
The varsity girls’ will run first at 9 a.m., followed by varsity boys at 9:30 a.m. The junior varsity girls are set for a 10 a.m. start and the JV boys to follow 30 minutes later.
“We are super excited,” said Boyd head coach Oscar Hernandez regarding serving as meet host. “The final 300 meters of the race, we will finish on the track.”
The boys’ course has two loops near the front of the school, and Hernandez attempted to limit the number of switchbacks on the course.
Bowie and Nocona are expected to be in the mix for possible qualification at the regional meet – which will take place at Mae Simmons Park in Lubbock on Oct. 29. Texas Tech University is serving as the regional host.
Bowie head girls’ coach Chuck Hall said he expects the following girls to compete at the varsity level Monday: Valerie Walker, Macie McCollum, Carli Shields, Sage Bullock, Sarah Lacy and Lauren Gill.
Hall said three other unnamed girls are vying for the seventh varsity spot.
Walker and Shields turned in Bowie’s top times this year at the Lipan Invitational on Sept. 14. Walker recorded a time of 13 minutes, 28.3 seconds. Shields timed at 14:11.5. Read more in the Oct. 15 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.
