Bowie JH volleyball faces Lady Mustangs
The Bowie Junior High 8A volleyball team has been unstoppable during the 2018 season, but took its first loss at the hands of Holliday on Monday night.
“The game against Holliday showed how much this group has grown since our last match with them as seventh graders,” said Bowie Lady Rabbit Coach Jaimie Hickey. “I am proud of how well we kept up with their intensity, never backing down, and just grinding to the end.”
Julia Witt powered the offense with five ace serves, with Carson Matlock putting down three kills.
The 8B team dropped in two sets to the Lady Mustangs by 7-25, 13-25, despite two kills from Breanna Goodwin and two ace serves from Libby Roumillat.
The 7A team also was topped by the Holliday Lady Eagles in two sets, 22-25, 19-25, despite six ace serves from Gracie Duke and two kills each from Sayler Richey and Olivia Gill.
The 7B team fell 16-25, 17-25 to City View, with three ace serves from Mayci Metzler.
“I am happy the girls keep improving and know if they keep working hard it will pay off,” said Bowie Volleyball Coach Shawnda Rasco. “Thank you to all the parents and fans who came out and supported us last night.”
The match against Holliday came just three days after the teams traveled to City View on Sept. 6, where the 8A team easily defeated the Lady Mustangs 25-11, 25-10 with five ace serves each from Price and Matlock.
The 8B team was topped by city View 18-25, 20-25.
Haley Webb led the Lady Rabbit offense with one kill and three aces. Natalie Burkhardt and Hadlee Jones also had three ace serves.
The 7A team lost in a close three sets by 25-16, 29-31, 14-16, while the 7B team defeated City View in three 25-13, 23-25, 16-14. Metzler and Kylie Polhemus provided three ace serves each.
“I am very proud of the girls for working as a team and pulling off a win,” said Rasco.

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.
