The Bowie High School football team suffered yet another setback Friday night as Boyd rallied to defeat the Jackrabbits 14-13 in the District 4-3A-I opener for both schools at Boyd ISD Stadium.
The game included a weather delay that lasted about two hours, 30 minutes.
Officials spotted lightning at 9:30 p.m. when Bowie had what proved to be a tenuous 13-7 lead at the 1:21 mark of the third quarter.
Teams returned to the field at midnight, and the game concluded at 12:42 a.m.
Boyd tackled Bowie behind the line of scrimmage on the final play.
Everything seemed to be going the Jackrabbits way. The team built a 13-0 lead with a couple of exhausting first-half drives.
Kevin Stallcup and Lawson Mickler punched in short runs for touchdowns in the opening half. Bowie’s defense held Boyd in check for nearly three quarters, aided by several interceptions.
Fortunes changed late in the third quarter after a faulty Bowie punt that traveled just two yards, giving Boyd field position at the Jackrabbit 19.
Qualynn Wells cashed in four plays later on an 11-yard TD run.
After the game resumed, Jackson Basting intercepted a Lawson Mickler pass to end one Bowie drive. Mickler later was stopped short on a key fourth-down conversion midway through the fourth quarter.
Aided by a Bowie face mask infraction, Boyd then set for course on its next possession – and ultimately Wells scored his second TD of the contest from 35 yards out with 1:04 left in the fourth.
Bowie dropped to 1-5, 0-1 in 4-3A-I heading into next Friday’s showdown with tough Brock. Boyd improved to 2-4, 1-0. Read the mid-week Bowie News for more coverage.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.
In its first match, the Lady Panthers bested Sam Rayburn in a b est-of-three match 2-1 (25-11, 23-25, 25-14.) In the opener, senior Tatum Morman staked the Lady Panthers to a 4-0 lead with help from Kamron Skidmore and Olivia Johnson kills. The Lady Rebels would come back and tie the game at seven.
Savannah Hill’s kill broke serve and allowed Abby Carter to string together seven points. An ace and a Hill kill helped keep the drive alive. Hill later rolled off six points in a row, helped by two aces, to go up 23-10. Sam Rayburn broke serve but Saint Jo finished the game with a single Morman point.
Sam Rayburn came right out of the gate firing in the second game leading 4-0. A single Carter point, thrown down by a Hill block, and Hill’s four-point skein put the Lady Panthers up 8-6. Sam Rayburn tied the game at eight.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
