Bowie baseball loses non-district game at Grandview
The Bowie Jackrabbits took a trip to Grandview on Saturday morning to play a non-district game following a couple of tough losses.
The Zebras won a high scoring game 12-10 against the Jackrabbits.
Bowie’s previous two games were losses against Jacksboro and Holliday where the team had trouble scoring runs in super competitive pitching duels.
That went out the window on Saturday as the game also was used to get everyone on the roster some playing time at certain points in the every evolving lineup.
The Jackrabbits struck first with five runs in the first inning. Cade Thompson drove in one run on a single followed by Colton Richey driving in two runs with a single. Later Logan Hutson drove in two more runs on a single to make it 5-0.
Grandview answered back with two runs in the first inning on a steal of home plate and wild pitch.
Bowie added to its lead in the second inning as Jake Fallis hit a sacrifice fly to centerfield to make it 6-2.
The Jackrabbits then had an uncharacteristic inning from hell. Bowie gave up four singles while walking three batters and hitting another as the Zebras scored seven runs to take the lead 9-6.
That took the wind out of the Jackrabbits sails and the team failed to score runs in both the third and fourth innings. Grandview continued to add to its lead, scoring one run in the third inning on a sacrifice fly and two runs in the fourth inning on a two-RBI double.
The Zebras led 12-6 entering the fifth inning when Bowie started to fight back. Hutson drove in an un-earned run thanks to an error fielding the ball. Kawlyer Swearingin then drove in two runs on a single to cut the lead to 12-9.
In the next inning, the Jackrabbits had runners at the corners with only one out.
The team did a double-steal, with Thompson getting thrown out at second base, but Fallis scoring on his steal of home. The run cut the lead to 12-10 heading into the final inning.
Unfortunately, there would be no seventh inning magic this day. Bowie failed to get any runners on base and would lose the game 12-10.

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.
Savannah Hill’s kill broke serve and allowed Abby Carter to string together seven points. An ace and a Hill kill helped keep the drive alive. Hill later rolled off six points in a row, helped by two aces, to go up 23-10. Sam Rayburn broke serve but Saint Jo finished the game with a single Morman point.
Sam Rayburn came right out of the gate firing in the second game leading 4-0. A single Carter point, thrown down by a Hill block, and Hill’s four-point skein put the Lady Panthers up 8-6. Sam Rayburn tied the game at eight.

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).
Molly Enlow used two aces amidst a four-point string to give the Lady Rabbits a 5-1 lead in game one. Senior KP Rutherford’s pair of points extended the lead to 8-3.
Northside cut the deficit to 10-11 before Rutherford’s kill broke serve.
Bella Culwell’s point, aided by an Ellie Mowery kill, put Bowie up 13-10. Northside tied the game at 13 before Rutherford came through with another pair for a 17-14 lead. Lillie Maddox also had a deuce for a 20-15 lead and force a Lady INdian timeout.
Northside broke serve but a Sophie Maddox block and Lillie Maddox three-point string gave the squad game point at 24-16. The squads exchanged side outs to end the game.
