Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers opening game will come on Saturday afternoon against Medina at Hico.
Coach Mark Stevens anticipates an option type offense and a defense that likes to stack the line of scrimmage and dare teams to beat them deep.
He is not too worried since he feels if his team executes, the Panthers will have success on offense.
The team could potentially be without electrifying running back Logan Brawner, but Saint Jo knows it has the depth to do well even if he cannot suit out.
The Panthers play at 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 29 in Hico.

Forestburg
The Forestburg Longhorns host Mount Calm on Friday night.
Coach Trey Cumby said the tape shows the offense does a lot of misdirection in the backfield to create confusion for the defense.
The Longhorns will need to read their keys well on offense if they do not wish to get tricked.
Cumby said on defense the Panthers look like they are committed to stopping the run. With an experienced quarterback and some confident pass catchers, Cumby hopes Forestburg can take advantage and make some big plays in the passing game.
The game is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 28 at Forestburg.

Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Bears travel to Perrin-Whitt on Friday to take on a tough Pirates team who was a playoff team last season and returns almost all of their starters.
This will be a tough team, but if the Bears are able to hang with a division I playoff team, that could be a big confidence boost in its own right.
Coach Joe Helms is trying to have his team to not just be satisfied with moral victories. He feels his team can score on anyone if they execute well.
Fatigue could become a factor if the game goes four quarters with a small roster, but Helms is throwing this team that suffered a lot of heartache last year to a big challenge early to see where Gold-Burg will stack up.
The game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 28 at Perrin-Whitt.

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.
