The beginning of the 2015 high school football season is now less than one week away.
The first date the University Interscholastic League, the state’s governing body, allows for practices is Aug. 3 – and every single Montague County team will be on the field.
Bowie will practice from 7:30-10:30 a.m. from Aug. 3 through Aug. 6, with an Aug. 7 practice at midnight. The team also will have a training session on Aug. 8 from 8-10 a.m.
The Bowie Athletic Booster Club will run a concession stand for the midnight practice, which is open to the public.
“We can’t wait until next Monday,” Bowie head coach and athletic director Dylan Stark said, “and I know the kids are excited.”
In addition on Aug. 8, that also will be team picture day for Bowie High School volleyball and cheerleading.
Bowie’s first scrimmage will take place at 7 p.m. on Aug. 14 versus Bridgeport.
For the second straight year, Nocona also will have a midnight practice on Aug. 7. The Indians will practice from 8-11 a.m. Aug. 3 through Aug. 6. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News, including information on our 6-man football schools.

Jacksboro defeats Lady Rabbit VB, 3-1

Published

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 gives it a go, falls to Perrin 35-32

Published

on

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.
