Bowie
The Bowie Lady Rabbits were able to pick up a game on Friday against Burkburnett despite initially having an opening in the schedule.
The Lady Bulldogs won in straight sets 3-0 against the Lady Rabbits.
The teams already played a couple of weeks back in late August. Then Burkburnett won in four sets.
On Friday, all three sets were competitive, but the Lady Bulldogs were able to win by a comfortable margin with the scores being 25-16, 25-18 and 25-15.
Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians lost a tough five-set match to last year’s 1A state runner-up Harrold at home on Friday.
The Lady Hornets won the back and forth match 3-2, with results changing wildly from set to set.
The Lady Indians were looking for a challenge against a program with state aspirations as well and were ready for the challenge.
Harrold won the first set commandingly 25-15. Nocona came back to win a slightly more competitive set 25-21 to tie the match at 1-1.
The Lady Hornets won the third set with little drama 25-18 to take the lead. The fourth set proved to be the closest of the match and could have gone either way.
The Lady Indians dug deep and won set four in extra points 27-25 to tie the match at 2-2 and force a fifth set.
Unfortunately, Nocona could not lean on the momentum from winning the fourth set. Harrold grabbed control and won 15-7.
The Lady Hornets won the match 3-2.

The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.
Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.
Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.
Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.
He originally had never planned on coaching golf.
“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
