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.
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.
