Bowie volleyball loses opening district match
The Bowie Lady Rabbits started district on Tuesday at home with a tough match against one of the district’s favorites in Henrietta.
The Lady Cats won in straight sets against the Lady Rabbits on Tuesday, though Bowie showed growth during the match as the results got better each set.
The Lady Rabbits were not coming into the match with high spirits. Bowie lost its last three full matches and still had lineup rotations to nail down.
Henrietta played the Lady Rabbits almost a month earlier at the first tournament of the season at Burkburnett.
It was a battle to see who would finish third overall at the tournament.
The Lady Cats came out on top that day.
A month later and the first set made it seem like nothing was going to be different.
Bowie fell behind early, down 13-7 after 20 points and 18-12 after 30 points. Henrietta finished on a 7-1 run to win the set 25-13.
The second set seemed like a repeat of the first as the Lady Cats were up 14-6 at one point. The Lady Rabbits closed the distance by going 7-3 to make it 17-13. Unfortunately, Henrietta closed the set strong, winning eight of the next 10 points to win set two 25-15 to go up 2-0.
Bowie could have laid down as it seemed nothing was going its way. The Lady Rabbits initially were down 4-1 super early, but instead came back and competed for the rest of the set.
At one point, Bowie led 13-12 but Henrietta came back to take a three-point lead 19-16. The Lady Rabbits kept it close until the end, but could not get the lead back as the Lady Cats closed the set out, winning 25-23 and the match 3-0.

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.
