HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: Bowie moves closer to second
By DANI BLACKBURN
The Bowie High School volleyball team traveled to Henrietta on Saturday, prepared to show who deserved second place as the two teams sat tied in the district race.
That’s exactly what the Lady Rabbits did, sweeping the Lady Bearcats in three sets by scores of 25-14, 25-19 and 26-24.
The teams were tied after Bowie lost to Henrietta in five sets the first time the teams faced off, but Bowie was prepared to take back what was theirs.
“The first play here was a good match, it went to five sets but this time we were ready to take care of business,” said Head Coach Jeanie Stark. “Each game we have won has built up our confidence along the way, and we were mentally prepared to take care of business and do the job. The team was determined to win.”
Leading that determination on offense was Addy Cook, with 16 kills for the game. Cook also added 14 assists, two blocks, six digs and two ace serves.
Taylor Thompson set up the offense with 19 set assists and contributed 12 digs, one kill and one ace.
Henslee Ogle scooped up 16 digs on defense, followed by Mackenzie Tole with nine and Carcyn Robertson with eight. Tole also had four kills and one block, while Robertson had two set assists and two kills. Read more in the Oct. 26 Bowie News.

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.
