Bowie, Nocona teams race all over in district lead up
The Bowie and Nocona cross country teams went to three different meets this week.
The Bowie boy’s team finished second at Ponder on Wednesday while the girl’s team finished 11th at the hugely attended Ken Gaston race in Grand Prairie on Thursday.
Both of Nocona’s teams ran at Brock on Wednesday, with the boy’s team finishing sixth. The girl’s team was one runner short of the five minimum runners needed to complete the team total.
For the Jackrabbits, Alex Shelton was the team’s top runner finishing third overall with a time of 18:27. Sid Mayfield and Trevor Vann joined him among the top 10 in seventh and 10th place.
Brody Armstrong and Travis Terry finished 17th and 18th to round out the top five runners for Bowie. Coach Jonathon Horton was happy with his team. With a great finish while battling heat and tough terrain, he feels confident where his team is with district on the horizon.
The Lady Rabbits ran at Lynn Creek Park in Grand Prairie next to Joe Pool Lake. With many of the metroplexes top programs running, Bowie competed in the 4A and under race along with 16 other schools.
The top runner was Julia Witt who finished in 54th place with a time of 14:13. Jojo Villarreal and Brysen Richey was not far behind in 59th and 60th place. Jennifer Alvarado and Desarai Reyes rounded out the Lady Rabbits top five finishing in 78th and 84th place.
Running against some of the best runners in the Dallas/Fort Worth region hopes to prepare the girls for district.
The Nocona boy’s team had Lyndon Fenoglio finish first for the team in 22nd place with a time of 20:28. Frank Espinoza finished in 33rd place, Eli Croxton 39th, Alex Stephens 57th and Iziak Weatherread 69th place.
The Lady Indians were without Raylee Sparkman, who usually is the teams number two runner. Despite not getting a team result, the girls still had some good results.
Kylie Rose finished fifth overall with a time of 14:18. Madilyn Ferguson joined her among the top 10 in ninth place. Claudia Espinoza finished 18th and Natalie Pirkey was 55th.
With the district race scheduled for Oct. 14 in Bowie, a little more than week exists before teams will need to be in tip top shape.

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.
