Lady Rabbits take first at WFHS Invitational
The Bowie Lady Rabbits snagged the team gold medal at the Wichita Falls High School Invitational on Sept. 27.
Abby Zamzow led with a second-place individual finish and a time of 14:19.80. Bowie’s Landra Parr (15:48.83) and Desarai Reyes (15:49.91) finished neck-and-neck in sixth and seventh place.
“Abby ran really well and, we were pretty good overall,” said Bowie Lady Rabbits Cross Country Coach Chuck Hall. “Landra continued to get better, Desarai has been running really well, and so has Brysen Richey. Kylie Brightwell came in and has run really well in her first season with us. We beat Burkburnett at the meet who is a highly reputable team and it was a big win for us beating them.”
Meanwhile, the Jackrabbits finished the day with a fifth place showing against larger schools. Alex Shelton ran a 18:48.17 for an 18th place individual finish, followed closely behind by Syd Mayfield in 20th place with a time of 19:08.74. Riley Harris crossed the finish line at 20:09.23 to earn the 32nd spot out of a group of 74 individual runners.
“Alex and Sid did well, and I am pleased with the way the rest of our guys are fighting through the adversity they have this week,” said Bowie High School Cross Country Coach Jonathon Horton. “The pace of this event was good for our guys to see, the larger schools had a much faster first mile than we are used to.”
The junior varsity team also competed well at the Wichita Falls High School Invitational, taking sixth place with a 19th individual finish from Ignacio Saucedo (20:13.50), 28th place finish from Kawlyer Swearingin (20:43.84) and a 32nd place finish from Brock Neese (20:59.46).

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.
