Gold-Burg dominates with 60-7 win
The Gold-Burg Bears earned their third win of the season as they blew out Chillicothe on the road Friday night.
The Bears won by halftime due to the mercy rule 60-7 against the Eagles.
Playing in its first road game of the season, Gold-Burg did not have to deal with lightning like every other county team did on Friday night. The Bears still made sure to make it a short night for the third straight game.
Despite some early penalties, especially down on the goal line, being the only negatives to take away from the game, Gold-Burg was still up multiple score halfway through the first quarter and 52-0 heading into the second quarter.
From there the team worked in back-up players and tried some other things so the score would not get run up any more.
The Bears only outscored Chillicothe 8-7 in the quarter with the game already wrapped up as they won 60-7 at halftime.
Jayon Grace scored three rushing touchdowns and rushed for 127 yards on four carries. He also recovered a fumble for a touchdown.
Aidan Foster rushed 54 yards and one touchdown while forcing a fumble on defense. Ethan Rotrouck also forced a fumble and then recovered it on defense.
Levi Hellinger threw for 50 yards and two touchdowns, completed to Paul Jones and Eli Freeland. Keelyn Case had one carry on offense and took it 23 yards for a touchdown.
On special teams, Jayton Epperson returned a kick-off for a touchdown and Zander Crawford recovered an onside kick. Foster made two extra-point attempts before Jorge Montes stepped up to make his only attempt.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
