Bowie track kicks off season at Alvord
The Bowie track teams competed in their first meet in the freezing cold on Thursday at Alvord.
Only running events were competed in since the temperature was so cold, but the Jackrabbits and Lady Rabbits still put up some good results.
The varsity girls’ team took home first place out of the seven schools competing. They were mostly powered by their relay teams as they got first in the 4×100 and 4×200 races and finished third in the 4×400.
Individually, Abby Zamzow finished first in both the 100 meter hurdles and the 400 meter race.
Other top finishers included: Brysen Richey finishing third in the 100 meter race, Maddison Gatewood finishing third in the 200 meter race, Kylee Brightwell finishing fifth in the 400 meter dash, Cassidy Duke finishing fifth in the 800 meter race and Desarai Reyes finishing sixth in the 3200 meter race.
The boy’s team finished third overall, hurting from not having relay teams that cost them bunch of points.
One of the top performers was Alex Shelton who finished second in the 400 meter, 800 meter race and third in the 1600 meter race. A.J. Craddock finished second in the 110 meter hurdles.
Joey Crawford finished third in the 110 meter hurdles and second in the 300 meter hurdles. Daniel Mosley finished fifth in the 200 meter race.
Both teams expect to grow in membership as the season goes on. With both teams coming off a district title, Coaches Justin Prescott and Dylan Stark will be looking to convince other athletes to help defend it.
The next meet is scheduled to be at Boyd on March 7.

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.
