Bowie baseball beats Graham, Denison JV on Monday
After not playing a full week due to the weather, the Bowie Jackrabbits were back in action on Monday playing a double-header.
The Jackrabbits won both games against Graham (3-1) and Denison’s JV (17-3) ahead what is planned to be a busy week.
The game against the Steers was a pitchers’ duel. Both starting pitchers, Bowie’s Kawlyer Swearingin and Graham’s Ryan Grimsey allowed no runs through the first four innings.
The Steers had the best chance to score in the second inning. With a runner on second base, a ground ball up the center looked like it might score the runner. Jackrabbit centerfielder Zach Gilmore threw the ball home and catcher Devin Melton had time to make the play at the plate for the third out of the inning.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Logan Hutson got on base with a one out double. Gilmore followed with a single to put runners at the corners. Kynan DeMoss then flew out to right field, but it was deep enough for Hutson to score and break the scoreless game.
Bowie added two more runs in the sixth inning. Troy Kesey and Swearingin got on base with a single and a drawn walk. Following a ground out that moved both runners into scoring position, Jake Fallis and Hutson followed with back-to-back singles that drove in both runners to make it 3-0 heading into the final inning.
Following a single and a double, a wild pitch allowed one run to score for the Steers. With two more walks, the bases were loaded up with two outs.
Richey came in for relief and his one pitch was popped up to centerfield for the final out of the game.
The Jackrabbits won 3-1.
The second game of the night was a different story playing 5A Denison’s JV team. Bowie scored in every inning of the five that were played. The team finished with 10 hits, drew eight walks, had three hit batters while taking advantage of the Yellow Jackets five fielding errors.
Hutson led the team by driving in three runners. Sanders had a team high three hits while driving in two while Tucker Jones also drove in two runners.
On the mound, Fallis got the start and pitched three innings, giving up three runs while striking out two and walking three.
Richey came in for relief again and pitched the rest of the way, striking out four and giving up one hit and one walk.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.
In its first match, the Lady Panthers bested Sam Rayburn in a b est-of-three match 2-1 (25-11, 23-25, 25-14.) In the opener, senior Tatum Morman staked the Lady Panthers to a 4-0 lead with help from Kamron Skidmore and Olivia Johnson kills. The Lady Rebels would come back and tie the game at seven.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.

After splitting the first two games with Vernon Northside, Bowie’s volleyball team turned things out and wound with a 3-1 match win (25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-17).
