Late in the second quarter, the Bowie High School football team forced Littlefield to punt the ball.
The Jackrabbits were in good position to hopefully level the score before intermission in Saturday’s Conference 3A Division I Region I Area game at Mustang Bowl in Sweetwater.
However, Bowie muffed a punt – and that set Littlefield up in prime scoring position. The Wildcats took advantage as Brian Acevedo scored his second rushing TD of the half – and put them up 22-8.
Littlefield’s lead proved to be too insurmountable as the Wildcats defeated the Jackrabbits 29-20, advancing to the regional round.
“That muff punt, it was a break that got us going,” said Littlefield head coach Bryan Huseman. “In a playoff game like that, you need a break like that to help you come out on top.
“The kids hustled on that,” Huseman added. “It was a good punt. They dropped it, and we were able to cover it.”
Bowie’s season ended the same way it did a year ago, as an area runner-up with a 6-6 record.
Meanwhile, Littlefield (9-3) played Wall at 7 p.m. on Friday at Ratliff Stadium in Odessa, the stadium made famous in “Friday Night Lights.”
Bowie head coach Dylan Stark said there were other plays besides the muff punt that made any rally more difficult.
“There were four or five key plays in the game that made it tougher for us to come back,” Stark said. “I’m not going to narrow it down to one play. There were some plays they made that hurt us.”
Gabe Allen threw three interceptions, with them occurring in down-and-long distance situations. Two of those picks happened during the final moments of each half. Read more, and see complete statistics and the season-ending district standings, in the Nov. 23 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.
