Bowie
The Bowie golf team’s competed at their home tournament at Twisted Oaks this week.
The boy’s team ended up finishing first overall while the girl’s team finished third place.

Andrew Sandhoff finished tied for third with Rayder Mann as both shot 73. Mann was not playing as a part of the Bowie team but individually, so his total did not count towards the team total. Still, he won the playoff to earn the third place medal.
Hunter Fluitt shot an 80 and Hunter Lea shot an 84 to round out the team’s scoring as Bowie shot 290 overall. Case Curry also competed individually and shot 101.

Avery Thompson shot a 118, Jessie Howard shot 123 and Ava Davis shot 131 as the team combined for a 483 total which was four shots better than fourth place Slidell.
The Indians were led by Jake Pribble who shot 93. His teammate were not far behind as Johnny Stone shot a 95 while Casen Harris and Fin Stevens shot 97 to round out the scoring to 382.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.
Sunset native Cason Richey (right) and his team roping partner Beldon Cox from Weatherford repeated as the International Finals Youth Rodeo champions last weekend at Shawnee, OK. Richey and Cox won the previous year and were able to complete the repeat by catching three steers in a combined time of 16.6 seconds. Richey is expected to compete attend Texas Tech University this fall and compete on the rodeo team.
