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.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.

Richey is expected to compete attend Texas Tech University this fall and compete on the rodeo team.
The Chisholm Trail Youth Rodeo had its awards ceremony this week, giving out plaques and buckles to the top competitors throughout the summer season.
There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.
Along with the best results in each event, at the end the overall best cowboy and cowgirl in each age division was awarded as well.
The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
