FOOTBALL: Area teams looking for bounce back

Three Montague County schools must bounce back from heavy losses as the eighth week of the season takes place on Friday.
Denton Calvary defeated Saint Jo 61-8 while Cisco shut out Nocona 48-0 and Tioga whitewashed Gold-Burg 51-0.
This week, Saint Jo will play at tough Savoy in a battle of 3-3 teams. Nocona will travel to Wichita Falls and play City View at Veterans Field. Gold-Burg makes the two-hour drive to Benjamin for its final non-district six-man game.
As of press time, it was a 50-50 proposition whether Jeremy James would be healthy enough to start at quarterback for Nocona against City View.
James suffered a shoulder injury during an Oct. 2 loss to Holliday.
“It’s still up in the air, it depends on his arm strength,” Nocona head coach Brad Keck said.
City View has a talented running back in Deon’Tray Jordan, and the Mustangs are coming off a 42-27 victory over Millsap. Tamell Monroe will be under center.
“They’ve got a good running back, and a rushing type of quarterback,” Keck said. “They are fast. We have to contain them. If they get to the second level, they can score.”
City View is efficient running screen plays as part of its spread offense. Defensively, the Mustangs will run both a 4-3 and a 3-3 stack, with Ronnie Killen making it go.
Nocona’s games have been more defensive-minded as the Indians have given up 190 points in six games. Meanwhile, City View has surrendered 232 during the same amount of contests. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.

The full week of Jim Bowie Days Celebrations started on Saturday with the bass tournament at Lake Amon G. Carter.
The bass tournament was the start of the day and had 23 teams compete. By the time of weigh-ins, 14 teams brought in fish to be weighed.
The overall winner was the team of Rick and Cody Green. The pair had a total of 11.58 pounds to take first place. It all came from one fish as well, so they also took home first place for the big bass award.
They finished just ahead of the team Casey and Jimmy Smith, whose one fish was just a bit lighter at 11.50 pounds in both total and big bass competitions.
It was extra special for the Greens since the team had finished second the previous year, beaten by the Smith team who were seeking their third straight first place title at the JBD Bass Tournament.
Third place went to the team of Doug Covington and Melanie Mack. They tied with three other teams with the most caught fish, ending the day with four caught. Their total was just short as well, weighing in at 11.48 pounds. Their biggest fish caught at 6.81 pounds was also the third biggest caught of the day.
