Area sending 16 to play in Oil Bowl
The 87th Maskat Shrine Oil Bowl Classic is happening this week and area schools have 16 players and one coach from five schools competing in it.
Players from Bowie, Nocona, Prairie Valley, Gold-Burg and Bellevue will play with and against the best graduating athletes in the Wichita Falls area.
It will be their last chance to put on their high school jersey and represent their school. For many, it also will be the last organized sports competition they will play on a big level.
The weekend kicks off on June 14 with the basketball all-star games at the old Rider High School gym. The girl’s game will play first at 6 p.m.
In that game, Prairie Valley’s Makaylee Gomez and Bowie’s Ziba Robbins will play on the west team. The east team will have Nocona’s Skyler Smith and Bellevue’s Cirstin Allen.
The boy’s basketball game will follow at 7:30 p.m. In that game, Prairie Valley’s Tyson Easterling and Nocona’s Javier Gaytan will both play for the east team.
On June 15, the volleyball games are scheduled to start at 4 p.m., again played at the old Rider High School’s gym.
The first game is the small school game, made up of athletes from 1A-2A.
In that game, Kasi Phillips from Prairie Valley and Jimena Garcia from Gold-Burg will play on the west team. Bren Fenoglio from Nocona will play on the east team along with her Coach Kara Lucherk.
Lucherk also will coach the east team in the big school game that will follow.
In that game, Bowie’s Olivia Gill will play for the west team.
The football game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Midwestern State University’s Memorial Stadium.
On the east team, Bowie’s Seth Mann and Troy Kesey will suit up.
Also on the east team, Nocona has Brady McCasland, Charlie Fuller, Johnny Stone and Cooper Waldrip playing as well.

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.
Sam Rayburn came right out of the gate firing in the second game leading 4-0. A single Carter point, thrown down by a Hill block, and Hill’s four-point skein put the Lady Panthers up 8-6. Sam Rayburn tied the game at eight.

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).
Molly Enlow used two aces amidst a four-point string to give the Lady Rabbits a 5-1 lead in game one. Senior KP Rutherford’s pair of points extended the lead to 8-3.
Northside cut the deficit to 10-11 before Rutherford’s kill broke serve.
Bella Culwell’s point, aided by an Ellie Mowery kill, put Bowie up 13-10. Northside tied the game at 13 before Rutherford came through with another pair for a 17-14 lead. Lillie Maddox also had a deuce for a 20-15 lead and force a Lady INdian timeout.
