Bowie boy’s win second straight district title, girls finish second
It was a windy and cold day for the district golf tournament for Bowie and Nocona teams.
The Bowie boy’s team came away with its second straight district title while the girl’s team finished second. The Nocona boy’s team finished fourth overall.
The Jackrabbit team were the favorites coming into the tournament. A year after making an appearance at the state tournament, the team had lost several key players to graduation, but gained some as well.
Zac Harris, a freshman, led Bowie and the whole field shooting a 74 on a day where the wind made it tough on everybody. Teammate Cy Egenbacher finished third while shooting an 84 while Andrew Sandhoff shot an 86 and finished fourth.
Hunter Duke rounded out the scoring by shooting 94 and finishing ninth overall. Hunter Lea shot 101, but it did not count toward the team’s total.
The Lady Rabbits finished second to Jacksboro. Halle Duvall led the team, finishing second overall by shooting 98. Neely Price finished seventh overall as she shot 112 for the day.
Rylie Vieth (121) and Hadlee Jones (132) rounded out the scoring for Bowie.
For Nocona, the boy’s team finished fourth overall, just two shots ahead of the Jackrabbits second team and three shots ahead of Holliday.
Jake Pribble and Johnny Stone both shot the best for the Indians, finishing tied for 10th while shooting 95. Case Harris (113) and Finn Stevens (119) rounded out the scoring while Charlie Fuller shot 120.
The Lady Indians were one player short of competing as a team. Jessie Howard shot the lowest score of the day for the team with a 130 score. Maci McWilliams and Skyler Smith both shot 136.
Unfortunately, no teams or individuals will move on to the regional tournament this year. Coach Kyle Spitzer was still proud of how his team did.
The Jackrabbit and Lady Rabbit teams both qualified for the regional meet, which is scheduled for April 18-19 and April 20-21 at the Shady Oaks course in Baird.

The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.
Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.
Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.
Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.
He originally had never planned on coaching golf.
“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
