Last year, the Bowie and Nocona High School volleyball teams had a play-in match to determine what team would make the postseason.
That’s not the case this year.
Bowie wrapped up second place in District 3A-8 with a three-set victory over Nocona by scores of 25-19, 25-17, 25-19.
“I think defensively, they were better than they have been in the past,” said Nocona coach Tiffany Clay about Bowie’s improvement. “That allowed their offense to stay in system more.”
Meanwhile, Nocona finished the season on the outside of the playoffs looking in with a fifth-place finish ahead of Paradise, Jacksboro and City View.
Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark knew Nocona would be a challenge, even though the Lady Indians were essentially “playing out the string.”
“All the scores were close,” Stark said. “They never quit. Magye was unbelievable. We had to keep serving away from her. I thought they played pretty well.”
Bowie (26-13, 11-3 in 3A-8) finished as high as it had in a district since 2008 when the Lady Rabbits won the district championship.
The Lady Rabbits didn’t pull away in the opening set until Karlyn Dean went on a serving run to give them breathing room.
Clay called timeout after Bowie rolled to an 18-12 lead. The run didn’t stop until it reached eight points. Read more in the Oct. 29 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 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.
