Bowie sports 2019 highlights
Starting at the beginning of the year, the Jackrabbits basketball programs continued their standard of excellence.
The Lady Rabbits finished third in the district to qualify for the playoffs where they would lose in the bi-district round to Jacksboro. The boy’s team would finish second in the district and make it to the area round before losing to Jim Ned.
Around the same time was the powerlifting team’s success. Both the boy’s and girl’s squads would finish second at the regional meet.
Beyond just team success, the Lady Rabbit team had five girls qualify for the state powerlifting meet in Waco: Jessie Henry, Chelsie Price, Carrington Davis, Emma and Sierra Skinner. The only senior, Davis, took home a sliver medal in the 181-pound weight class in her final meet.
Further in the spring, the boy’s golf team won its first district title in years to qualify for the regional tournament.
The tennis team also had some success in the spring, sending five players to the regional tournament. The mixed doubles team of Camberley Gunter and Victor Tran, the boy’s doubles team of Spencer Hopson and Zachary Logan and Jacqueline Hanna in girl’s singles all qualified.
In track, the boy’s track team won the district title for the second straight year while the girl’s team placed second. While many athletes on both teams qualified for the regional meet, the boys had two athletes, Daniel Mosley in the shot put and Logan Morman in the high jump, qualify for the state meet.
The senior heavy baseball team won several close district games on its way to finishing second overall. The Jackrabbits would then go on to win their bi-district matchup against Boyd before losing in the area round to Clyde. The team was also known for its various background skits during player interview videos posted to social media.
The softball team was much younger with only two senior starters on the team. The Lady Rabbits still rallied making the playoffs with much less fuss than the previous season. Bowie would meet state ranked Brock again the bi-district and would lose.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.
Sunset native Cason Richey (right) and his team roping partner Beldon Cox from Weatherford repeated as the International Finals Youth Rodeo champions last weekend at Shawnee, OK. Richey and Cox won the previous year and were able to complete the repeat by catching three steers in a combined time of 16.6 seconds. Richey is expected to compete attend Texas Tech University this fall and compete on the rodeo team.
The Chisholm Trail Youth Rodeo had its awards ceremony this week, giving out plaques and buckles to the top competitors throughout the summer season.
There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.
Along with the best results in each event, at the end the overall best cowboy and cowgirl in each age division was awarded as well.
The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
