Bowie golf teams compete at Glen Rose, home course
The Bowie golf team competed in a multi-day tournament at the Squaw Valley Golf Course in Glen Rose last week, competing against schools as large as 6A.
The Lady Rabbits team finished 12th overall and the boy’s team finished 15th overall while competing in the Dinosaur Classic.
The girl’s team shot a consistent 388 and 389 the two days. Tess Egenbacher led the team shooting 89/92. Hanna Bell was second shooting 96/96. Miley Thompson shot 103/97.
Kendall Fallis shot well to the first day 100 to round out the team’s scoring, but shot 117 the second day and it was not included in the team’s score. Emma Read’s 110 score the first day did not count towards the team’s total, but her score the second day 104 did count.
The boy’s team shot a little better the second day overall, shooting 324 and 321 during the two days. Zac Harris led the team shooting, a team low 77 on both days. Hunter Lea was second shooting 80/81. Rayder Mann had a little more variance, but shot the same as Lea overall shooting 82/79.
Casen Airington’s first day score of 89 did not count towards the team’s total, but his second day score of 84 did. Hunter Fluitt’s score on day one of 85 went towards the team total, but his second day score of 89 did not.
Competing against some of the top programs in the state from mostly bigger schools, it was the tournament where Bowie gets pushed. With the program aiming for the state tournament the last several years, it is a good tournament early in the season to get the players out of their comfort zone.
That competition came on Monday and Tuesday when Bowie competed at the Lady Rabbit and Jackrabbit Invitational at the Top of Lake Golf Club and both teams won.
The girl’s team shot 365 overall. Egenbacher led the team shooting 85, good for third place individually. Thompson shot 92, Bell and Read shot 94 to round out the scoring.
Other Lady Rabbit players who played but whose scores did not affect the team’s score included Lillie Maddox who shot 98, Reegen Ferguson who 100, Molly Enlow and Fallis who shot 107.
The boy’s team shot 318 overall despite dealing with heavy winds on Tuesday throughout the whole day.
Lea led the team shooting 76. Harris and Mann followed shooting 79 and 80.
Fluitt’s 83 rounded out the team’s scoring. Belcher shot 88, but it did not count towards the team total.

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.
