Bowie volleyball loses tough game to Boyd
The Bowie Lady Rabbits did not have a good showing on Tuesday when they hosted state-ranked Boyd.
The Lady Yellowjackets stung the Lady Rabbits, beating them in straight sets in a one-sided nature.
Bowie was coming off its first tournament at Burkburnett the previous week where the first tries of figuring out the team’s rotation saw the Lady Rabbits going 4-2 and finishing fourth overall.
Despite still trying to figure the lineup out, Bowie was hoping it could give its first big test of the season, state-ranked Boyd, a challenge and maybe even go for the upset with the home crowd behind them.
That never happened.
The Lady Rabbits fell behind in the first set and once the Yellowjackets lead grew from 6-4 to 10-5 there was no looking back. Boyd won 25-13 to win the first set.
The second set was more of the same. The Yellowjackets went on a 14-1 run to go up 19-6 at one point as Bowie was struggling to get anything positive going.
The Lady Rabbits showed some life, going 8-2 during the next 10 points to cut the lead to 21-14. Even though Bowie came up short of pulling off the big come back, the team still made the final set score 25-20 respectable.
Unfortunately, the Lady Rabbits could not carry that momentum into the next set for long. With Bowie leading 8-7 after a competitive start to set three, Boyd would win almost every point for the rest of it. The Lady Rabbits were frustrated by the end as they lost 25-8 and the match 3-0.
Olivia Gill led the team with seven kills, while four other players each had two kills. Kinley Russell had a team high 11 assists.
On defense, Melenie Cantu had a team high 10 digs while Hanna Bell and Ella Richey each had two blocks.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
