Cross Country teams run at Hirschi on Thursday morning
Several county cross country teams traveled to Hirschi Junior High on Thursday to compete against several Wichita Falls area schools.
In the girl’s race Nocona came out on top while Bowie finished sixth and Bellevue 11th. The boy’s race saw the Indians finish second while Bellevue finish eighth.
For the Lady Rabbits, Landra Parr finished first in 25th place with a time of 14:23. Jojo Villarreal finished 32nd, Julia Witt finished 34th, Jennifer Alvarado finished 43rd and Brysen Richey finished 45th to round out Bowie’s top five finishers.
Coach Joe Crabb felt the girls are making good progress this season.
The Lady Indians saw Kylie Rose finish second overall with a time that saw her break the 13 minute barrier for the first time with a 12:59. Raylee Sparkman was not far behind in third place, Claudia Espinoza finished 10th, Madilyn Ferguson finished 12th and Allie Brown 13th.
Besides the great team results, Coach Kyle Spitzer was glad that every runner ran their times of the season.
The Nocona boys had their top three runners finish in the top 10 as Lyndon Fenoglio finished first for the Indians in sixth place with a time of 18:49. Hank Ulbig and Eli Croxton finished right behind him in seventh and eighth place. Iziak Weatherread finished 21st and Adam Meekins finished 27th to round out Nocona’s points.
Coach Colby Schniederjan liked the improved times, but really liked seeing the competition pick up among his top three runners vying for the team’s top runner in every race.
“Improved times yet again and competition between my athletes is heating up even more,” Schniederjan said. “I have three runners who have all finished first for us. I am pleased with the work we put in every day.”
Competing with the big schools was Bellevue. The Eagles team finished eighth as Terrance Perry finished first in 70th place with a time of 24:01.
Leland Sims finished 74th, Gonzalo Martin finished 79th, Aiden Finstad finished 88th and Samuel Innes finished 97th to round out the scoring.

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.
