Bowie
It was not a good game for Bowie softball on Wednesday playing against Breckenridge.
The Lady Bucks won 11-0 after six innings due to run-rule.
The Lady Rabbits offense had no answer for Breckenridge’s pitching. The team was not able to get a hit while striking out 10 times and drew no walks. Sadie Britt and Maddie Mandela were the only base runners in the game due to fielding errors from the Lady Bucks. Mandela would steal a base to move into scoring positions, but Bowie hitters had no luck that day.
The Lady Rabbits were able to keep Breckenridge’s offense in check for most of the game, allowing two runs in the first inning and one run in the fourth and fifth inning.
The sixth inning saw the Lady Bucks get loose, scoring seven runs as hits built onto hits and nothing went right for Bowie. The Lady Rabbits finished with six fielding errors, but only two came in the final inning.
Breckenridge finished with 11 hits and Bowie pitcher Kaylie Kinney at least did not give up free bases. Only three of the 11 runs given up by Kinney were earned.
The Lady Rabbits start the second round of district play at 5 p.m. on April 5 at Nocona.
Nocona
It was not a good game for the Nocona Lady Indians as they lost at City View on Tuesday.
The Lady Mustangs won 13-0 in five innings due to run-rule.
The Lady Indians were able to get two baserunners on with K Barrett getting the only hit and Reagin Phipps drawing a walk and stealing a base.
On defense, Nocona walked 11 batters while giving up nine hits and committed four fielding errors.
The Lady Indians are next scheduled to play at 5 p.m. on April 5 at home against Bowie.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers won a crazy high scoring game at Alvord on Tuesday.
The Lady Panthers won 30-13 after three innings due to run-rule.
Saint Jo scored 13 runs in each of the first and second innings that did the most damage, taking advantage of the 26 walks it drew as a team.
Elaina Everson led the team with four RBIs while hitting a home run. Five different players drove in three runs each, mostly by drawing walks.
Krista Reeves got the win on the mound pitching all three innings. She had her struggles with control too, but was better that day.
Saint Jo is next scheduled to play at 5 p.m. on April 5 at home against Muenster.
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.
