In special teams, the little things mean a lot. And those little things can add up to handy points.
That’s what happened in Friday’s District 5-3A-II game between the Nocona and Holliday football teams.
Late in the second quarter, Holliday was the beneficiary of a Nocona mistake that led to a Grayson Germany field goal.
In the third quarter, Nocona missed out on a Hunter Fenoglio two-point conversion because the officiated crew didn’t think he crossed the goal line.
That’s five points, and that proved to be the difference as Holliday topped Nocona 18-13, and the Eagles spoiled the Indians’ lavish Homecoming night.
“We were going to snap the ball, kneel down and go in at the half,” Nocona head coach Brad Keck said.
Riley McCasland was blocking downfield when the ball hit him in the chest, and Holliday recovered. Nocona’s defense was stiff enough to force that Eagle field goal.
However, the complexion of the game changed vastly after that because play turned sloppy on both sides, and Holliday proved it could win ugly.
“It was something Riley couldn’t have avoided,” Keck said. “It was just bad luck.” Read more, and see statistics and district standings, in the Oct. 12 Bowie News.

The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.

Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.

Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.

Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.

He originally had never planned on coaching golf.

“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
