Prairie Valley girls, Bowie boys top at cross country meet
Kason Spikes paced the Bowie High School boys cross country team to a first-place finish at the Prairie Valley Invitational on Sept. 27.
A total of 52 runners from six area schools competed in the varsity boys division, where Spikes completed the run in 18:51 to finish first in the individual results.
Mitchell Hanafin helped the Jackrabbits along with a sixth place finish and a time of 19:46.
Meanwhile, Joshua Martinez, Bryson Moore, Daniel Mosley and Roman Rivas completed the race in the ninth-twelfth spots.
The Prairie Valley High School boys earned the silver medal with a third-place showing from Julian Rohde (19:22) and a fourth-place finish from William Winkler (19:26).
“The meet went really good, we had several teams here and everyone competed well,” said Prairie Valley Cross Country Coach Zac Tabor. “It was a little wet, but we went ahead and ran it anyway. I was pleased with all my kid’s efforts and the other teams. It is not easy running in the rain but it is one of those things you kind of have to do.”

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.
