JBD rodeo brings a lot of fun
The Jim Bowie Days Rodeo celebration culminated with three nights of rodeo action last week.
Produced by TNT Rodeo Company and featuring riders from the United Professional Rodeo Association, it was a great way to end a week full of of activities.
After three nights of competition the top riders were able to leave with the prize money.
In bareback riding, Triston Flinn won the event with a ride scored 57 points.
In barrel racing, Elia Gordillo and Kathy Muehen somehow tied for first place, both racing around the barrels in 17.535 seconds.
In breakaway roping, Corlee Massey got first place with a quick time of 2.410 seconds.
Team roping was won by the pair of Coy Sand and Justin Ochs who caught their calf in 4.6 seconds.
Tie-down roping was won by Kyle Parrish who secured his catch in 9.5 seconds.
The top steer wrestler was Jaylin Minor who got it to the ground in 5.2 seconds.
Ranch bronc riding was won by Jeston Gilliam who scored a ride of 80 while Jace Lane won the saddle bronc riding with a score of 81.5 points.
The last event was bull riding which was won by Noah Lee with a ride that scored 87.5 points.

Bellevue’s girl’s basketball team led at halftime but a quick 9-0 Jacksboro run in the opening moments of the second half would prove the difference in a 28-25 Lady Eagle loss June 15 in a Nocona Summer League game.
Leading 12-9 at the half, Bellevue continued to shut down the inside game of the Tigerettes. Jacksboro switched tactics and began firing from outside. Three 3-pointers in the span of just under two minutes gave Jacksboro an 18-12 lead.
Bellevue kept things close, however, getting on the second half scoreboard with Mattie Broussard’s basket and free throws cutting the deficit to two, 18-16. A Haven Jones 3-pointer put the Lady Eagles up 19-18 midway through the second half.
The Tigerettes had just one 3 -pointer the rest of the way but got inside for a pair of buckets to take a 25-21 lead with 4:50 to go. Both offenses shut down late.

Most school-age athletes start off playing everything. By the time they graduate, they whittle it down to just one or two.
New Bowie girl’s track and overall cross country coach Shawnda Childers is no exception. While at Iowa Park she competed in volleyball, cross country and track before cutting out volleyball and focusing on track and cross country to close out high school.
Childers did not stay with athletics while moving on to Midwestern State University, where she received her bachelor’s and master’s Degrees. After graduation, shestarted coaching in Electra. She came to Bowie for one year, then went back to her old stomping grounds in Iowa Park where she spent the next four years.
The return home also put her in contact with now-Bowie Coach Griffin Fields, who was a coach there at the time. From Iowa Park, she spent the next three years at City View.

New Saint Jo Girl’s Basketball Coach Grant Gooch isn’t completely unfamiliar with the area.
“We went to Muenster quite a bit when I was a kid,” Gooch, who will be going into his 20th year as a coach, said. “We’d load up the cooler from the meat markets. It’s good to be back.”
Gooch worked with Saint Jo Athletic Director CJ Hantz when the pair were in Throckmorton. Gooch comes to town from Menard where he spent three years at the West Texas school.
Gooch says coaching and education kind of come naturally to him.
