Lady Rabbits beat Chico, Millsap
The Bowie volleyball team hosted Chico and Millsap on Tuesday night as the Lady Rabbits work through their pre-district schedule.
Bowie won both matches against the Lady Dragons and the Lady Bulldogs, dropping only one set across both matches.
The Lady Rabbits first played Chico. Bowie controlled all three sets throughout. While the Lady Dragons hung around, the Lady Rabbits won by comfortable margins all three sets, winning with scores 25-17, 25-15 and 25-20.
The match against Millsap proved to be tougher. Bowie fell behind in the first set 20-15. The Lady Rabbits made up some ground, but ran out of points to catch up, losing by the smallest margin 25-23.
With the momentum it got at the end of set one, Bowie started well in set two thanks to some good serving. The Lady Rabbits biggest lead was 17-8 at one point.
The Lady Bulldogs would not go quietly, storming back and cutting the lead to two points 21-19.
Bowie would not collapse though, finishing the set strong on a 4-1 run to win the set 25-20 and tie the match 1-1.
Millsap started the third set well, taking control of the lead early. The Lady Rabbits were hanging around, but the Lady Bulldogs lead seemed to grow a little bit at a time until they the lead was 20-15 like in the first set.
Bowie made up ground again, only this time it came out on top. Thanks to some great serving and overall solid play during this stretch, the Lady Rabbits ended the set on a 10-3 run to win 25-23 and take 2-1 lead.
With how back and forth the match had been, Bowie would need to play a strong set four to eliminate any hope of Millsap coming back to win the match in five sets.
The Lady Rabbits got off to the best start of the match, up 9-1 in the opening 10 points. The Lady Bulldogs did close the gap to 12-8 respectively, but that would be all the fight left in them.
Bowie’s lead would continue to grow again as it coasted to the finish line as Millsap just could not mount any threatening offense. The Lady Rabbits won 25-15 to win the match 3-1.
Bowie next travels to Bridgeport to play at 6 p.m. on Sept. 1.

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.
