Just like last year, Bowie, Forestburg and Saint Jo will represent Montague County in the volleyball playoffs.
The Lady Rabbits will take on Millsap in a Conference 3A, Region I bi-district game at 7 p.m. on Monday in Jacksboro.
Saint Jo will play Bryson in a Conference 1A, Region III bi-district game at 7 p.m. on Tuesday here at Bowie High School gymnasium.
Forestburg, second in District 2A-10, will face Newcastle in yet another 1A-Region III bi-district game at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at Perrin-Whitt.
The last time Bowie finished this high in district was 2008 when the Lady Rabbits finished as a district champion.
That squad featured Megan Workman, libero Marlee Evans, Chelsea Kincaid, Rachel Austin, Kayla Edelman, Lacie Penders, Katie Stallcup, Macy Roth, Adrienne Howell and Dakota Crockett.
Yes, that Kincaid who will be coaching Bryson against Saint Jo. The Cowgirls and Lady Panthers met in the bi-district round a year ago with Bryson coming out on top.
“We played against them earlier in the season,” said Saint Jo first-year head coach Charlie Pittman. “We have made lots of changes since we played them (last).” 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 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.
