Bowie finished the season with a record of 24-11, and 13-1 in 3A-9.
Hill was a focal point on a Nocona squad that qualified for the playoffs again, taking third in 3A-9 after a seeding victory over Holliday. He scored 20.5 points per game.
The Indians were 22-12 overall.
Bowie’s Chase Hall was co-defensive player of the year alongside Henrietta’s Riley Watson. Henrietta placed second in 3A-9 behind Bowie.
Henrietta’s Logan Carter and Holliday’s Carson Rogers were the co-offensive players of the year.
Nocona sophomore Cade Breeze and Jacksboro’s Clay Botello were named the co-newcomers of the year.
Henrietta’s Nick Offield, a senior, and Trey Henderson, a junior from Holliday, were selected as the sixth players of the year – which goes to the top bench players.

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 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.
