Bowie tennis falls to Graham
The Bowie tennis team suffered losses at 5A Wichita Falls Legacy on Sept. 19 and against 4A Graham at home on Tuesday afternoon.
The duel against Legacy was lost 17-2 and against Graham 15-4.
Playing its second duel last week against the Leopards, Bowie struggled. One of its wins came in the first position girl’s doubles match. Heidi Siebert and Laney Enlow dominated 6-1, 6-2 to win the match easily.
The other win was not as satisfying as it was a forfeit in mixed doubles from Legacy.
There were some competitive matches worth noting during the duel. The third position boy’s doubles team of Austin Atteberry and Jordan Mayes barely lost the third set super tie-breaker 11-9. That was after coming back from losing the first set 6-1, to dominating set two 6-1.
The first position boy’s doubles team of Rush Williams and Brendan Dudley bounced back from a 6-1 loss in set one to barely losing set two 7-5.
In singles competition, Laney Enlow had the best match of the day in third position girls singles. She ended up losing 9-7.
Bowie then hosted the Steers on Tuesday afternoon.
The Jackrabbits had a sweep of their girl’s doubles matches at the start of the duel. Heidi and Enlow won in first position again, with the score being 8-4.
The second position team of Willow Siebert and Alyssa Airington won its close match 8-6. The third position team of Leah Cantrell and Gentry Gray won 8-5.
Unfortunately, the Jackrabbits were down 4-3 after doubles ended and could not make not make up for it in singles where Graham pulled away.
Enlow won in the third position girl’s singles match 8-6. Mayes won in fifth position boy’s singles match easily 8-1. Tucker Childers had the other most competitive singles match in the duel in third position, but came up short losing 8-6.

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.

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.

The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.
