Howe picked up its first victory of the season on Friday evening at Bulldog Stadium – at the expense of winless Bowie.
The Jackrabbits scored only two touchdowns as Howe recorded a 38-13 victory.
“We made some big mistakes the led to points,” said Bowie head coach Dylan Stark. “We gave up a touchdown on a return. There were four or five plays that hurt us.”
Stark said Bowie’s offense is struggling to string positive plays together, and that was compounded going against a physical Howe team.
Now the Jackrabbits will play a Henrietta team that’s just as banged up with injuries as they are. Game time is set for 7 p.m. at Henrietta.
Stark knows the Bearcats will be a challenge.
“Henrietta’s a well-coached team, and they always play very well at home,” Stark said. “I know they will be ready for us. We’re going to need a really good week of practice.”
Henrietta runs a spread offense and 3-4 defensive alignment. The Bearcats have several players to watch – including wide receiver Ben McQueary, strong safety Kandon Bennett and running backs Landon Davis and Mason Hanson.

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.
