Bowie, Gold-Burg track teams run at Jacksboro
Both Bowie and Gold-Burg track teams competed at Jacksboro last week to get some good competition in the still early part of the track season.
While team results were not listed in the results available, individual results were given in a meet that featured a lot of schools, both big and small to compete against in most events.
With that in mind, only a few competitors did well enough to score their team points by finishing in the top six at their event.
For the Lady Rabbits, Harlei Hudson finished third in the 100 meter dash. Also Kailyn Bettis finished fifth in the high jump. The individuals who run on each relay team was not listed, but the 4×100 and 4×400 teams both finished fourth as well to earn points.
The Jackrabbits had Tucker Jones and Tyler Richey finish first at their events. Jones won the 110 meter hurdles and also scored points for his team with a fifth place finish in the 300 meter hurdles and fourth place in the long jump.
Richey won the pole vault while Case Curry was right behind him in second place. Braden Rhyne got fourth place in the high jump and sixth place in the 300 meter hurdles.
Sterling Harrington finished fourth in the shot put, Alex Castro placed fourth in the 3200 meter race and Russell Anderson got fifth place in the 400 meter race.
The relay races did not list any individual names, but the 4×200 and 4×400 teams both finished in fourth place.
For Gold-Burg, competing against bigger schools only one athlete broke through the top six in their event to score a point. Jayon Grace finished third in the long jump.
Varsity results for athletes from Bowie and Gold-Burg are in the mid-week edition of the Bowie News.
Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.
Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.
“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”
Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Nocona came into game two of its Class 2A Division I bi-district series with Archer City looking to rebound from a 17-0 loss in game one.
The Lady Indians took a quick lead but the Lady ‘Cats had too much in the tank and knocked Nocona out of the playoffs courtesy of a 13-3, five-inning victory winning the best of three series, 2-0.
Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.
Archer City prevented further damage by retiring the next two hitters. The Lady ‘Cats struck in the bottom of the inning for seven runs.

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.
Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.
After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.
Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
