Schools compete at area track meets
Area track meets took place last week as athletes competed for a chance to qualify for the regional meet.
Only the top four finishers in each event moved on for a chance to qualify for the state meet.
Bowie and Nocona both competed at Graham on April 10, but in different classifications, while all the area 1A schools competed on April 7 at Bryson.
On a team level, both Saint Jo teams again finished first overall by a significant margin. Bowie boy’s finished sixth overall, Nocona girls got third and the boy’s team finished ninth. The Bellevue girl’s team got fifth place and the Gold-Burg boy’s team finished in sixth place. Both Forestburg and Prairie Valley teams placed eighth and 11th places.
For Bowie, Tyler Richey had a great day winning the pole vault to qualify for regionals. Russell Anderson got second in the 400 meters while Brayden Willett finished fourth in the 1600 meters and Isaac Renteria fourth in the 3200 meters to all qualify.

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).
