Bowie’s Robert Zambrano competed on March 22 at the boy’s state powerlifting meet in Abilene.
Unfortunately, Zambrano did not complete all three of his lifts and did not place.
Zambrano came into the meet with big hopes. After finishing 15th last year at the state meet, he was hoping to compete better and hopefully get close enough to medal.
His personal record in squat he set at the regional meet of 440 pounds was better than the whole field and would have given him a good start. It was not meant to be on that day.
Despite the setback, his Coach Quinn Wilson is confident this will only motivate him next year.
“Making it to state in back-to-back years is no small feat,” Wilson said. “Going into the meet he had one of the best squats in the state and his deadlift was nothing to laugh at, so there’s no telling what he would have been capable of doing. He works hard and when he sets his mind on something he goes and gets it. Unfortunately it wasn’t his best day, but he will be back next year stronger and hungrier than ever.”

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.
