In prior years, the Bellevue girls’ basketball team struggled to have an over .500 record early in the season.
That’s not the case this year as the Lady Eagles downed Poolville on Nov. 15 in non-district play – improving to 2-0 on the season.
“It’s a really good start to be 2-0,” said Bellevue head coach Bryan Goehring. The Eagles won their first game of the season on Nov. 4, defeating Mansfield Timberview’s freshman team 48-25.
“To start 2-0, I hope it builds confidence (in us),” added Goehring, who’s now in his third season piloting the Lady Eagles.
Bellevue played Graford on Friday night in what was expected to be a competitive game.
The Lady Eagles proved to be too much for Poolville thanks to a stifling half-court defense, an abundance of height and the stellar play of now junior Shae Lesando.
“I think our half-court defense was solid,” Goehring said. “They did not have a lot of scoring opportunities, or open looks.”
As for Lesando, who scored a Lady Eagle-best 14 points, the coach commented: “She’s so much better at finding open shots, and she’s not forcing it. She’s letting the game come to her.”
Lesando tallied Bellevue’s lone successful 3-pointer of the contest. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the Nov. 19 Bowie News.

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.
