HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL: A poor reception

The Bowie High School volleyball team had everything going its way heading into Tuesday’s District 3A-8 match against Henrietta.
The Lady Rabbits were the clear second-place team in the district.
However, an energetic Henrietta group reeled Bowie back to the pack as the Lady Cats downed the Lady Rabbits by scores of 25-18, 25-18, 19-25, 15-25, 15-11.
Bowie stood at 19-12, 4-2 in 3A-8 heading into Friday’s all-important Montague County showdown at Nocona, also smarting from a four-set loss to Paradise on the same night.
“Our passes were horrible (in Game One),” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said. “We were playing out of system and we made errors. We weren’t ready.”
The Lady Rabbits’ serve reception left much to be desired in the first couple of sets as Henrietta held the advantage.
Compounding matters worse for Bowie was Taylor Thompson’s injury. Thompson’s ankle buckled during the second set.
Hope Howard was inserted in the lineup in Thompson’s place along the front row, and Lauren Gill during times when Taylor would have been in the back. Both Gill and Howard contributed a pair of passes.
Thompson later returned and played in third, fourth and fifth sets – and the Lady Rabbits seemingly rallied around her – however, the rally came up short. Read more in the Oct. 1 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.
