Bowie boy’s win at last week’s Era track meet
The Bowie track teams competed at Era last week to get ready for this week’s district meet.
The boy’s team came back with a first place win while the girl’s team finished in sixth place.
The Jackrabbits had Tucker Jones finish first in the long jump, 110 meter and 300 meter hurdles. Case Curry also won the pole vault.
The team also had many second place finishes with Braden Rhyne being runner-up in the 300 meter hurdles and high jump. Tyler Richey finished second to Curry in the pole vault. Sebastian Martinez placed second in the 800 meter race. Jorge De Leon finished second in the discus. The 4×400 meter relay team closed out the day and got the win for the team by also finishing in second place.
The Lady Rabbits highest finish was their third place in the 4×400 relay. The other two relays, the 4×100 and 4×200 meter, both finished in fourth place.
Individually the highest finish went to Callie Curry and Olivia Richey, who finished fourth in the 100 meter and 300 meter hurdle races.
Both teams compete at the district track meet this week. The final day, which will involve only the running finals, is scheduled for 5 p.m. on April 3 at Iowa Park.
Results for varsity athletes who finished sixth or better are listed in the mid-week edition of the Bowie News.
Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.
In its first match, the Lady Panthers bested Sam Rayburn in a b est-of-three match 2-1 (25-11, 23-25, 25-14.) In the opener, senior Tatum Morman staked the Lady Panthers to a 4-0 lead with help from Kamron Skidmore and Olivia Johnson kills. The Lady Rebels would come back and tie the game at seven.
Savannah Hill’s kill broke serve and allowed Abby Carter to string together seven points. An ace and a Hill kill helped keep the drive alive. Hill later rolled off six points in a row, helped by two aces, to go up 23-10. Sam Rayburn broke serve but Saint Jo finished the game with a single Morman point.
Sam Rayburn came right out of the gate firing in the second game leading 4-0. A single Carter point, thrown down by a Hill block, and Hill’s four-point skein put the Lady Panthers up 8-6. Sam Rayburn tied the game at eight.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.
