Several local teams are coming off strong showings at the Alvord High School meet on Sept. 15, including the Bowie Jackrabbits with sixth and seventh place individual finishes form Alex Shelton and Daniel Mosley.
Shelton broke the 19-minute mark with a time of 18:56.23, and Mosley crossed the finish line at 19:03.49. Syd Mayfield wasn’t far behind in tenth place with a time of 19:11.69. The other top five finishers for the Bowie Jackrabbits included Seth Robinson (19:29.94) and Riley Harris (19:33.40).
“I was pleased with our performance yesterday,” said Bowie Cross Country Coach Jonathon Horton. “The conditions were good and all of the boys competed well. Times are coming down and the guys are finishing strongly.”
However, it was Nocona’s Joan Gomez who took the gold at Alvord while leading the Nocona Indians to a third-place team finish.
“We still have room for improvement, but our times and competitiveness was much better from last week,” said Nocona Cross Country Coach Colby Schniederjan. “We are still learning how to strategically run and pace the race. I am proud of their efforts this week.”
The Lady Indians swept the top three spots in the Alvord meet with a first-place finish from Maria Hernandez (12:50), a second-place finish from Kylie Rose (14:13) and a third place finish from Raylee Sparkman (14:33).
Claudia Espinoza raced to a ninth-place finish with a time of 14:58. Madilyn Ferguson finished sixteenth (15:20), while Cobi Womack finished with a time of 16:21 and Naomi Enriquez, 17:14.
Bowie Junior High cross country teams also ran at Alvord on Sept. 12. Medalists for the meet included Case Curry and Julia Witt.
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.
