Samantha Clarke ran her way to a seventh-place finish (17:09.6) while Sayler Richey finished in sixteenth (18:11.3).
Julia Witt was the top Bowie runner for the eighth-grade girls with a ninth-place finish and time of 16:43.0. Kenzie Short crossed the finish line in fifteenth place with a time of 17:59.0, followed closely by Jorah Villarreal in seventeenth (18:06.0).

Nathan Rodgers led the Rabbits in the eighth grade 3,200-meter race, finishing in twenty-first place with a time of 15:36.5.
A.J. Whatley was second for Bowie, finishing thirtieth individually with a time of 16:23.4, followed by Kynan DeMoss, 16:35.7, in thirty-second place.
The Bowie eighth grade boys were joined by Saint Jo. Kile Thurman led the Panthers with a fifth-place finish, crossing the finish line with a time of 13.37.0. Collin Thomas finished twentieth at 15:27.8 and Joshua Vogel, forty second, with a time of 17:12.0.
Overall, Bowie Junior High Cross Country Coach Diane Weber felt it was a very successful first meet.
“The kids ran great,” said Weber. “It was raining and the course was very boggy, and there is a killer hill they ran down, then back up. The runners definitely ‘got their feet wet’ at this meet, and I was proud of their performances. They now have the toughest course of the season out of the way.”
Three Saint Jo Panthers also ran in the varsity division. Kassidy Pitman represented the Lady Panthers, finishing in twenty seventh place with a time of 19:50.0.
Meanwhile, Logan Morman and Grant Stiteler ran the 5,000-meter boy’s varsity course, with Morman landing in twenty second place with a time of 19:54.1 and Stiteler earning 44th place with a time of 25:06.5.

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.
