Lady Rabbits win in straight sets
The Bowie Lady Rabbits earned a straight set win by 25-11, 25-8 and 25-21 in front of their home crowd on Friday night.
“The first two sets we really did well with playing our tempo,” said Bowie Lady Rabbits Coach Breanna Jones. “We executed the ball well. The third set, we let our compete level drop some and had to work hard to stay head.”
Landra Parr and Abby Zamzow powered the Lady Rabbit offense with eight kills each, while leading the team in assists. Parr put up 16 assists for her team, with Zamzow adding an additional eight.
Mackenzie Gresham put down six kills, Lexi Kirkham, five, while Sayde Garrett and Lydia Jones provided three each.
Halle Duvall added 13 digs for the Lady Rabbits. Taygon Jones added seven digs to go along with her three ace serves. Zamzow added another five digs and Parr, four.
Despite having to change their rotation several times in the preseason due to injury, Jones feels her team has handled the changes well.
“I feel they have faced this adversity well and are doing everything asked of them,” said the head coach. “We will still have players out when district starts, but we are working every day to make connections with the players off and on the court.”
The Lady Rabbits faced Wichita Falls on Tuesday night and will be on the road at Aubrey on Friday, leaving just one game against Bridgeport before the opening of district on Sept. 22.

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.
