The Littlefield football team was in disarray during the middle of the 2016 season, coming out of non-district play with a 2-3 record.
The Wildcats straightened things out during their bye week, and they’ve been hard to beat ever since – reeling off six straight victories.
“In district, our players stepped up and did a good job,” said Littlefield head coach Bryan Huseman. “We turned our season around.”
Littlefield has a good thing going right now, but that doesn’t mean the Wildcats are coming into Saturday’s game against Bowie overconfident.
“I think Bowie is a scary team,” said Huseman. “They have a lot of running backs that run the ball well. They execute their plays well, and the linemen are all physical.”
Huseman also was impressed with the Jackrabbit linebackers – which includes two of the area’s leading tacklers in LB Clement and Dillon Swaim. Clement and Swaim have combined for 278 stops.
Littlefield’s top player is Bryan Acevedo, who was recently Lubbock Avalanche-Journal player of the week and has rushed for more than 1,000 yards this season.
Look for Bowie’s defense to face a Littlefield slot-I offense that has piled up points in recent games – the Wildcats have scored 37 points or more in five of their past six.
Other players to watch on offense are quarterback Nathan Hobbs and Chris Douglas, who fills the role of slotback. Douglas also has eclipsed the 1,000-yard plateau. Read more in the Nov. 16 Bowie News.

Bowie’s Brandon Hutto is one of the many “scary running backs on the team,” so said Littlefield head coach Bryan Huseman. Hutto has rushed for more than 1,300 yards. (News photo by Eric Viccaro)

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 gives it a go, falls to Perrin 35-32

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.
