Area schools run at district
This week all of the area schools competed in the district cross country meets, with good results that will see several athletes and teams advancing to regional meets.
The team highlights included both Nocona teams repeating as district champions racing at Seymour on Wednesday while the Saint Jo girl’s team earned the district title racing at Midway on the same day as well.
The Bowie boy’s team finished second at Holliday on Monday, the Saint Jo boy’s finishing second, the Bellevue girls and the Prairie Valley boy’s teams finishing third. All of the teams that finished in the top three qualified for the regional meet.
Individually, one of the highlights included Isaac Renteria from Gold-Burg coming away as the district champion in the 1A boy’s race, running a time of 17:15. Joshua Stout from Prairie Valley was fifth, Jayden Curry and Barrett Johnson from Saint Jo finishing sixth and 10th to earn individual medals.
The 1A girl’s race saw Saint Jo have four girls finish in the top 10, with Abigail Carter winning the race overall with a time of 13:25.
Linzie Priddy from Prairie Valley followed in second place, Brylie Hager from Bellevue finishing third and Ollie Gaston from Gold-Burg finishing fifth to earn medals and qualify for regionals.
Both of Nocona’s top runners finished second in their races. Bayler Smith finished with a time of 13:36 and Claudio Segura running 17:39. Both of them were joined in the top 10 by the top four other runners on their teams to help them dominate as a team.
Alex Castro led Bowie with a fifth place finish and a time of 18:11 to earn a medal. He was joined in the top 10 by teammate Liam Pearson who finished not far behind in seventh place to earn individual medals.
The regional meets are a little more than a week away for those who qualified, with runners hoping to qualify for the state meet.
The Bowie boy’s will run in the 3A region I race at Mae Simmons Park at Texas Tech at 12:30 p.m. on Oct. 23.
Both of the Nocona teams and all of the 1A teams are scheduled to run at Lynn Creek Park at Joe Pool Lake in Grand Prairie.
The 1A races are scheduled for 10 a.m. for girls and 10:30 a.m. for boys on Oct. 23. For Nocona, the race times are the same for the next day on Oct. 24.
Individual varsity results for all area schools are in the weekend edition of the Bowie News.
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.
