HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Maroon thumps Bullfrogs
The Bowie High School junior varsity maroon football team won its first game of the season on Thursday 36-0 as Jacob Skinner scored two first-quarter touchdowns on runs.
The defense recorded a shutout, which included a goal-line stand in the second quarter after Bowie fumbled deep inside its own territory.
“We were physical on both sides of the ball,” Bowie head JV coach Quentin Berend said. “We held them down at the goal line, and then we scored right before halftime.”
Berend was pleased to see how the players flew around the field on defense.
“You could tell they were having fun,” Berend added.
Bowie JV Maroon stands at 1-0-1 heading into its next game on Sept. 10 at Henrietta.
Gabe Allen also scored two TDs, one rushing and one passing on a 10-yard connection with Rylan Dorman. The pair also hooked up for a two-point conversion pass.
Jay Rogers capped the performance with a pad-popping hit on a Lake Worth kickoff return in the fourth quarter.
