Bowie tennis loses district match
The Bowie Jackrabbit tennis team came up just short in their district opener against Holliday on Tuesday.
The Eagles won the closely contested dual 11-8, withstanding a great comeback attempt from the Jackrabbits during the singles matches.
Bowie last played a match almost a month previously in early August when it played seven pre-district matches. The Jackrabbits were supposed to open district the previous week against Vernon, but it got rained out and was rescheduled for Sept. 27.
Bowie’s last pre-district dual was against Holliday. The Eagles won it 11-8, which was close enough to give the Jackrabbits hope they could turn the result around with a couple more matches going their way.
Unfortunately, Tuesday did not start out great. Out of the seven doubles matches, the Jackrabbits won two. The second and third position girl’s doubles teams, made up of Willow Siebert/Alyssa Airington and Cassidy Brison/Gentry Gray took care of business.
Heading into the singles matches, Bowie was down 5-2. With 19 total matches in the dual, the first team to 10 wins overall.
The Jackrabbits made a good attempt to comeback. The girl’s side had four of its six matches go their way. Willow Siebert dominated her match in the second position 8-2.
Laney Enlow pulled out all of the stops to win her third position match in tie breakers, eventually winning 14-12. Alyssa Airington’s fourth position match also went to tie breakers, though she won with relative ease at the end 7-1. Ava Dalme then won her pretty competitive sixth position match 8-5.
On the boy’s side, Rush Williams dominated at first position, winning easily 8-2. The sixth position match for Bryson Mills went down to the wire in tie breakers where Mills pulled out the win by the smallest of margins 7-5.

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.
