HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Panthers win for Homecoming

After the excitement of Homecoming, the Saint Jo High School football team has two weeks off to prepare for Montague County rival Forestburg.
The Panthers celebrated Homecoming in style by pasting Northside 55-34 at Harley Sewell Field in Saint Jo this past Friday.
And what a difference it makes having Blake Anderson back on the field after missing the Gold-Burg game.
Anderson rushed for 292 yards on 19 carries with five touchdowns and he made eight solo tackles on defense. In addition, Preston Lyons recorded an amazing five interceptions.
“Blake gave us a big boost on offense and defense with his speed,” Saint Jo head coach Chad Tallon said.
Tallon said the Saint Jo freshmen group has its moments where the Panthers let up, like late in the Northside game, but he’s impressed how they have rolled to a 3-1 start on the season.
Saint Jo is off this week.
“It’s good for us,” Tallon said. “It gives us a chance to get healthy, and work on the fundamentals. We still need work on our timing on offense and tackling on defense.”
Saint Jo had two weeks to prepare for athletic Forestburg last year, too, but the Longhorns came up with the victory on its home turf. Read more, and see the complete game summary, in the mid-week Bowie News.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.

The Chisholm Trail Youth Rodeo had its awards ceremony this week, giving out plaques and buckles to the top competitors throughout the summer season.
There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.
Along with the best results in each event, at the end the overall best cowboy and cowgirl in each age division was awarded as well.
The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
There was no top overall cowboy in the age division.
