Bowie boys golf wins district title, girls finish second
The Bowie golf teams competed at the district tournament this week on two different days and both teams are moving on to the regional tournament.
The boy’s team won the district title to keep its streak going, winning five of the past six years as the team could not compete in 2020 due to COVID-19. The girl’s team finished second to qualify for regionals.
The first day the team played on Monday was at the Weeks Park Course in Wichita Falls and the second day was on Wednesday at River Creek Course in Breckenridge.
Almost everyone’s scores were lower, sometimes much lower, from the second day of the tournament.
The maroon boy’s team shot 336 the first day and 312 the second day.
Andrew Sandhoff had the lowest score from the two days combined, shooting 79-79 as he finished second overall individually after playing five playoff holes.
Cy Egenbacher shot 87-75 as he finished fourth place overall, Zach Harris shot 85-89 and placed fifth, Rayder Mann shot 85-81 and finished sixth while Hunter Lea shot 91-78 to earn ninth place.
With the team trying to get back to the state tournament, this is only the first step in its trek back.
The Lady Rabbits team was led by Miley Thompson who shot 104-93 to finish fourth individually. Tess Egenbacher shot 108-91 to place fifth individually. Emily Cueva shot 120-110, Kendall Fallis shot 126-110 and Emma Read shot 127-110.
Two girls competed individually with their totals not counting towards the team total. Reegan Ferguson shot 117-111 and placed 10th overall individually. Hanna Bell shot 140-100.
There was a second varsity boy’s team that ended up finishing fourth.
Hunter Fluitt led the team shooting 88-80 as he finishing eighth overall individually. Seth Mann shot 100-90, Russell Anderson shot 106-95, Trae Seigler scored 113-94 and Gavyn Brown shot 118-105.

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.

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).
