The Bowie boy’s golf team is heading back to state tournament after competing at the regional tournament this week.
The Jackrabbits finished third overall, shooting 630 total after two days of competing at the Diamondback National Golf Club in Abilene.
Bowie was trying to get back to state for the third time in the last four years and improve on its third place finish since it returned everyone, but knew it would be tough.
State-power Brock, which finished ahead of the Jackrabbits at state last year, had two teams competing as well as Lubbock-Cooper Liberty showing off the program’s depth. Wall was not far behind as well, nipping at Bowie’s heels.
The conditions were perfect and several players were shooting the best they have all season. Cy Egenbacher led the team shooting 74 the first day. Rayder Mann (77) and Zac Harris (78) joined him the 70s which is really good and the first time all season three Bowie players had done it in one round.
Andrew Sandhoff shot 81 to round out the team’s score to 310 which put the team in third place, three shots behind Brock in second place and seven shots back from Cooper Liberty in first place.
Blanco was six shots back from Bowie in fourth place.
Hunter Lea shot 83, but it did not count towards the team total since it counts a team’s four lowest scores.
The second day saw all but one of the Jackrabbits players shoot a bit worse. Harris was the only player to shoot better as he shot 75 to lead the team.
Egenbacher shot 77. Mann and Sandhoff both shot 84 to put the team’s total for day two at 320. Hunter Lea shot 88 on day two.
Unfortunately, with Bowie’s score increasing by 10 from day one, it did not leave the possibility for the Jackrabbits to move up in the standings.
Brock’s team repeated its score from day one while Cooper Liberty actually lowered its score by seven shots from day one.
Blanco’s team increased its day two total by 10 shots as well to leave the door open for Wall to jump in the standings as it lowered its second day total by two shots.
Still, Bowie finished six shots ahead of Wall to get the final state qualifying spot.
Egenbacher had the lowest total for the Jackrabbits, shooting 151 during the two days as he finished tied for sixth place individually.
Harris shot 153 and was tied for 12th place individually. Mann shot 161 and finished tied for 24th. Sandhoff shot 165 and finished 33rd while Lea shot 171 and placed 49th.

Softball Roundup

Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians’ softball team had a great first week as a full team, winning all of their games and going 4-0 at their hosted tournament against a Seymour program.
The Lady Indians were able to add some players from basketball, which only ended the previous week after winning the state title.
Nocona kicked off the week with a blowout win against Perrin-Whitt on March 4. The Lady Indians scored 12 runs in the first inning and seven in the second as the game ended after three innings due to run-rule, Nocona winning 19-1.
Skye Kirby led the team with four RBIs while Kylea Wallace and Heidi Atteberry were second with two RBIs each. The team drew 12 walks.
Reagan Phipps, fresh from the basketball court, allowed one run (zero earned) on two hits while striking out seven batters.
Nocona on March 6-7 played double-headers on each day against Seymour and its JV team.
The first game against the Lady Panthers varsity team saw the Lady Indians win 14-6 after four and half innings. Gwyndelyn Forsyth led the team with three RBIs while Tinley Cable, Kirby and Phipps each drove in two runs. Phipps hit a home run as well.
On the mound, Phipps allowed six runs on nine hits while striking out nine batters.
The next game against the JV team from Seymour was strangely closer, but Nocona came out on top, winning 10-7 after four innings played.
Forsyth led the team with two RBIs as five different players drove in one run each. Atteberry got the start on the mound and allowed seven runs on six hits while striking out six batters and walking seven.
The next day Nocona dominated the Seymour varsity team again, winning 11-2 after five innings played. Evelyn Marquez led the team with two RBIs while four other players had one in a balanced approach. Phipps allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits while striking out seven batters.
The Lady Indians made sure not to let up against the Seymour JV team in the next game. Nocona won 16-3 after four innings played to end the week off right.
Kaitlyn Tiffner led the team with four RBIs while Marquez drove in three, Kirby and Cable drove in two. Atteberry allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits while striking out two batters.

Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers had tough games last week against 2A team Chico and Muenster.
The Lady Panthers lost by the scores 21-2 and 22-0 as they try to look for the positive while playing against mostly bigger schools.
Saint Jo played Chico on March 7. Most of the damage was done in the second inning, with the Lady Dragons scored 13 runs. The Lady Panthers did score runs in two of the three innings played, but the game ended after three due to run-rule as Chico won 21-2.
Reagan Wilson led the team with one RBI. On defense, the team had 17 walks and allowed 10 hits, though the team committed zero fielding errors.
It did not get any easier hosting Muenster on March 10. The Lady Hornets scored 10 runs in the first inning before Saint Jo could come up to bat and had dug itself a big hole. The Lady Panthers had little success with their bats in the game, with Maxey Johnson being the sole base runner as she got a hit.
Muenster won 22-0 as the Lady Hornets had 14 hits and drew 16 walks.
