1A schools compete at area track meet
The 1A schools competed at the area meet on Monday at Bryson for a chance to qualify for the regional meet.
The Saint Jo boy’s team came away with the district title while most of the other area schools came away with a few individual qualifiers. Any individual or relay team that finished among the top four in their event moves on.
Panthers who won their individual events included Logan Brawner in the 200 meters and long jump, Collin Thomas in the 800 meters, Joshua Vogel in the 1600 meters and Jordan Reeves in the 300 meter hurdles. The 4×100 and 4×400 relay teams also finished first overall.
Other Saint Jo qualifiers, including girls, were Noble Koelzer, Dawson Everson, Kyler Dunn and Hannah Reyling.
Prairie Valley’s Mason Allen won the high jump while also qualifying in the 400 meters. Other qualifiers included Tyler Winkler in the 1600 meter and pole vault, Eli Croxton in the 3200 meter and the girls 4×200 and 4×400 relay teams.
Bellevue’s Sky-Lar Embry qualified in the 100, 200 and 400 meter races, winning the 100 meters overall. The Lady Eagles Grace Martin was the only other teammate to qualify in the 1600 meter race.
Forestburg had Reagan Ladewig qualify in the 100 meter hurdles and shot put, Braxton Osteen in the discus, James Stokes in the triple jump and both the boys 4×100 and 4×200 relay teams.
Gold-Burg had Will Hodges win the 110 meter hurdles and also qualify in the 300 meter hurdles. Other Bear qualifiers were Kani Grace in the 100 meters and brother Jayon Grace in the long jump.
The regional meet is scheduled for April 24 at Whitney High School. Only the top two finishers in each event are guaranteed a spot at the state meet. A third place finisher who has the best results compared to the rest of the individuals in the state will get the last qualifying spot.
Results from individuals in our coverage area who finished among the six in their events are in the weekend edition of the Bowie News.
Jackrabbits
A day after football season ended and the Bowie boy’s basketball team played its first game of the season and is working towards a new goal this season.
The Jackrabbits lost that first game against Sanger on Nov. 9, 70-36 before bouncing back a few days later after some practice to beat Bridgeport on Nov. 12, 56-51.
Bowie comes into this season after falling just short of making the playoffs last season.
The team graduated two of its three double-digit scorers along with an experienced post player from its starting rotation last season.
Rayder Mann is the team’s most proven scorer from last season, but other players will be counted on to step up according to Coach Ryan Dykes, who enters his second season at Bowie.
“Rayder Mann and Bradly Horton will need to be the floor generals for us to be successful,” Dykes said. “Boston Farris will be counted on to be a productive player and Gaige Goodman will need to be a factor in the paint on both the offensive and defensive end.”
In the first game against Sanger, Mann led the team with 13 points while Goodman was second with eight points.
The offense was much better overall against Bridgeport. Horton had 15 points, Mann had 14 points and Farris had nine points as Bowie scored in double-digits in every quarter of the game.
Lady Rabbits
In the second week of the season the Bowie Lady Rabbits had up and down performances.
The Lady Rabbits lost at Bridgeport on Nov. 9, 68-30 but bounced back to win at home on Nov. 12 against Boyd 55-42.
Against Bridgeport, Bowie gave up too many three-pointers on defense as the Sissies made 12 in the game.
It was too much for the Lady Rabbits to keep up with.
Parker Riddle led the team with 14 points while Payton Holt was second with five points.
The offense was more successful overall and balanced against Boyd, pulling away in the second half. Hanna Bell led the team with 13 points while Holt was second with eight points and Lanie Moore had seven points.
