Boys Basketball Roundup
Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Bulldogs picked up a much needed win at home against Vernon’s JV squad on Tuesday night.
The Bulldogs won in blowout 52-24 as they seemed to beat down the Lions in every way.
Coming off the holiday break and tough first tournament before that, it was a good game for the young Prairie Valley team to gain some early season confidence in front of the home crowd.
The Bulldogs defense was stifling, holding Vernon to only 13 points through the first three quarters.
This allowed Prairie Valley to get everyone big swaths of playing time without worrying about the result and just on the process.
Tyson Easterling led the team with 10 points while Trae Campbell and JR Jones were second with nine points.
Nocona
The Nocona Indians lost at Bells on Tuesday night in their first game back from the break.
The Panthers came back in the second half to win 54-43 against the Indians.
Nocona came out and scored well in a fast paced first quarter, leading 18-14. The pace slowed down with fatigue, but the Indians still led 25-23 at halftime.
Bells then came out in the third quarter and took control, nearly doubling its first half total with 21 points and leading 44-33 heading into the fourth quarter.
Nocona could not make up any ground in the final period as both teams scored 10 points and the Panthers held on to win 54-43.
Javier Gaytan led the team with 17 points while Johnny Stone joined him in double-figures with 12 points. Charlie Fuller grabbed a team high nine rebounds.
Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Bears won big against Vernon Northside at home on Tuesday night coming back from the break.
The Bears blew out the Indians 62-28.
Gold-Burg used its full-court pressure to not only subdue Northside’s offense, but create transition opportunities for the Bears offense.
Gold-Burg led 15-2 after the first quarter and it was off to the races for the next three quarters.
It was a game where everyone got their chance to play for the Bears as they try to knock off some of the holiday rust off.
Jayon Grace led the team with 19 points while Keelyn Case was second with 11 points.
Forestburg
The Forestburg Longhorns lost to Community Christian on Tuesday night following their holiday break.
The Warriors won 57-37 against the Longhorns in a game where Forestburg just had trouble scoring for the first three quarters.
The Longhorns came in confident after a 3-1 start to their season, but were reminded they have to play well every night against good teams in order to win or even to have a chance to compete.
Jesse Wadsworth led the team with 15 points while Jesus Sanchez was second with seven points.

The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.
Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.
Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.
Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.
He originally had never planned on coaching golf.
“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
