Bowie tennis falls to Holliday
The Bowie Jackrabbit tennis team got a preview for a future district match when they hosted Holliday for a pre-district match on Monday.
The Eagles won the close match 11-8, getting some manner of revenge for their loss to the Jackrabbits last year during district play.
Bowie did not have a great day for its doubles teams, with only its top two teams earning wins early on.
First position girls doubles team Heidi Siebert and Laney Enlow continued their preseason dominance, winning defiantly 8-4 to improve their overall record to 7-0 this early in the season.
On the boy’s side, first position doubles team Rush Williams and Brooks Gray dominated in their match, winning 8-3.
Unfortunately, the Jackrabbits were trailing 5-2 heading into singles matches, but Bowie would rally.
Siebert and Williams would both win their matches in first position. Williams won 8-4 and Siebert 8-5. This improved Siebert’s record to 7-0 in singles matches this pre-season.
Enlow kept her day undeafeated winning a close match in the third position girl’s singles.
She won the tie breaker 9-7 to win the overall match 9-8.
Alyssa Airington in the fourth position girl’s singles 8-3. Gentry Gray won in the sixth position girl’s singles 8-5. Bryson Mills also won in the sixth position in boy’s singles with the score being 8-4.
Unfortunately, it was not enough for Bowie to come back after digging the hole. Holliday only needed to win four of the 12 singles matches to win overall and the Eagles ended up winning five of them to win 11-8.

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.
