Schools run at the Wichita Falls Endurance House
Almost every school in the area competed at the Wichita Falls Endurance House cross country meet on a rainy Wednesday.
The top performing teams from the coverage area were the Saint Jo girl’s team that finished in first place in the JV race and the Bowie boy’s team that finished third overall.
The area girl’s teams all competed in the JV race since its length was the same as the other races they will run this season. 5A and bigger schools lengthen the girl’s cross country race from 3,200 meters to 4,000 meters.
In the race, Saint Jo was led by Abigail Carter who finished seventh overall with a time of 13:01. The Lady Panther top five finishers included Taylor Patrick (13th), Savannah Hill (17th), Kaycee Clark (23rd) and Tatum Morman (31st).
Bowie finished fifth overall with its top runner Laney Segura finishing ninth overall with a time of 13:15. The team’s top five runners also included Brylie Hager (29th), Bella Lozano (32nd), Harlei Hudson (57th) and Isabella Caswell (63rd).
The Bellevue team finished 10th overall and was led by Mattie Broussard who finished second overall with a time of 12:33. The Lady Eagle’s top five runners also included Brittany Gill (54th), Kaycee Conner (64th), Mary Grace Broussard (66th) and Tristan Shook (86th).
Individual runners from schools included Nocona’s Bayler Smith finishing third overall with a time of 12:33 and Linzie Priddy from Prairie Valley who finished sixth overall with a time of 12:48.
In the boy’s race, Bowie was led by Isaac Renteria who finished third overall with a time of 16:48. He was followed close behind by teammate Brayden Willett who finished fourth overall.
The Jackrabbits top five runners also included Sebastian Martinez (11th), Monte Mayfield (33rd) and Russell Anderson (35th).
The Saint Jo team finished sixth overall in the race. The Panthers were led by Barrett Johnson who finished 21st overall with a time of 18:35. The team’s top five runners included Jayden Curry (25th), Elijah Young (26th), Julian Luna (32nd) and Ayden Giambruno (68th).
The Gold-Burg team finished 12th overall at the meet. The Bears top runner was Isaiah Willett who finished 66th overall with a time of 20:58. The team’s top five runners included Jorge Montes (82nd), Efren Villegas (84th), Mason Marshall (91st) and Brady Allen (94th).
Nocona was missing one runner so it was one short of the five runner minimum to compete as a team. The Indians top runner was Omar Salinas who finished 47th with a time of 19:53.
Prairie Valley had one runner compete in the varsity race. Josh Stout finished 13th overall with a time of 18:16.
In the JV boy’s race, Bellevue competed in it. The Eagles were led by River Trail who finished 11th overall with a time of 21:49. The team’s top five runners included Brycen Bancroft (32nd), Cowyn Langford (35th), Aaron Allison (49th) and Hunter Blackburn (52nd).

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).

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.
