Bowie boys powerlifting finishes second
The Bowie Jackrabbit boy’s powerlifting team competed in Alvord on Jan. 24 in a league meet.
Competing against five other teams from their same division and region, it was a good early test for the Jackrabbits to see how things might stack up at regionals.
Bowie did well, coming in second overall behind meet host Alvord despite finishing with 10 medalists.
The top finisher was Zack Otto in the 220 pound weight class as he just outdid second place by five pounds, finishing with a total 1,225 pounds lifted. With a 50 pound increase on squat, it overshadowed his not-so-great totals in bench press and deadlift when compared with his previous meet.
Other medalists included: Raiden Brezina earning silver in the 114 pound weight class; Colton Covington earning second in the 123 pound class; Roman Rivas and Ethan Myers earning second and third in the 132 pound class; Dalton Davis and Devin Melton earning second and fifth in the 148 pound class; Ty Harris and Joey Crawford finishing third and fifth in the 165 pound class; Jacob Skinner and Victor Tran finishing second and fourth in the 181 pound class; Todd Holmes earning fourth in the 198 pound class and Tyson Herron finishing second in the super heavyweight class.
Coach Quentin Berend was pleased with what he saw last week from his boys and the direction they are headed.
“I thought the meet went really wekk, there was a lot of PRs set in a very competitive league meet,” Berend said. “I want to see the boys keep improving on there overall totals and keep climbing in regional standings.

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.
