Bowie High School volleyball team was all but eliminated from a Conference 3A postseason berth coming into Tuesday’s match with Nocona.
But, the Lady Rabbits still had plenty to play for, right?
After all, Montague County pride was on the line and Bowie surely wanted to split the season series with Nocona.
That never materialized on Tuesday as Nocona swept Bowie in three sets by scores of 27-25, 25-15, 25-15 in this District 3A-9 match at Nocona Middle School gymnasium. The Lady Indians also had their Senior Night activities.
The win meant Nocona (21-15, 10-2 in 3A-9) still had a chance to tie Henrietta for top spot in the district. The Lady Indians and Lady Bearcats play later today about 3 p.m. in Henrietta.
Bowie (19-19, 4-8) will have Senior Day activities later today at 3 p.m. against flagging City View.
“We played flat the first set, and had some missed serves which slowed the momentum of the game down,” Nocona head coach Tiffany Clay said. “I was proud of the girls for fighting and being mentally tough to finish off the first set with a win.”
Clay said Nocona took advantage of Bowie’s mistakes in the second and third sets, and the Lady Indians also played a more aggressive brand of volleyball.

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 gives it a go, falls to Perrin 35-32

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.
