Bowie tennis falls to Vernon/Iowa Park
The Bowie tennis team had a tough week with losses against Vernon and Iowa Park on Monday and Tuesday.
Both matches were unfortunately one-sided 18-1 defeats as the Jackrabbits were overwhelmed by some of the best teams they faced all season.
Bowie first played Vernon. Originally the duel was scheduled for early in September, but weather meant it was pushed back. The Lions’ program is one of the best in the area and showed it.
The match the Jackrabbits won came with Cooper Martin winning his sixth position boy’s singles match 8-6.
Bowie nearly got another match to go its way, but lost in a third set tie breaker. Second position girls doubles team Willow Siebert and Alyssa Airington won the first set 6-4, but just barely lost set two 7-6. This set up a third set tie breaker where Vernon won 10-4.
The Jackrabbits then played Iowa Park and the result was similar though the team had a few closer matches.
Bowie’s one win came from the first position girl’s doubles team of Heidi Siebert and Laney Enlow. The pair lost the first set 6-2, but bounced back to win set two in dominating fashion 6-1. In the third set tie breaker, Siebert and Enlow were able to carry some of the momentum from the previous set as it won 10-6.
Technically, the Jackrabbits won one other match though it did not count. Seventh position girls’ singles Ava Dalme won her match 6-4.
Bowie nearly won two other matches, both of them girl’s singles matches. Heidi, playing in first position, narrowly lost her match 9-7. Lily Hodges, playing in fifth position, also lost her match by the score of 9-7.

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.
