Bowie junior high basketball sweeps rival Nocona
The Bowie Junior High teams played rival Nocona on Monday, with the boys playing on the road and the girls playing their last game of the season at home.
It turned out to be a sweep for the Cottontails and Lady Cottontails as all six teams won their games against the district and county rivals.
The boy’s team saw the eighth grade A team win 57-30. Kynan Demoss led the team with 12 points while A.J. Whatley joined him in double figures with 11.
The eighth grade B team won 35-24 with Heath Bell, Kameron Shafer and Edgar Regalado each scoring six points to lead the team to the win.
In seventh grade, the boy’s A team played in the most competitive game as Bowie barely won 38-35. Brady Lawhorn scored half the teams points with 19 and Jre Donnell was second with eight.
The B team had no such issues as they won 46-17. David Brightwell led the team with 14 points while Will Cross and Sterling Harrington each scored eight.
The girls played at home in their final game of the season. With no B teams, some players did get moved up and all got to play as both games were all Lady Cottontails.
The eighth grade team won 34-9 with Haley Webb leading the team with 10 points while Neely Price and Sydnee Mowery each scoring six points.
The seventh grade team won by a similar score 32-9 as Sayler Richey led the team with seven points while Gracie Duke and Melenie Cantu each scored six points.
While the girls season is over, the boys play one more game on Feb. 4 at home against Henrietta. Games are scheduled to start at 5 p.m.

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.
