The Bowie High School baseball team opened the 2015 season with its own tournament.
The Rabbits played five games over the past weekend, and put together a 3-1-1 record.
“They just tried to put too much on themselves,” said coach Ryan Rogers of the first game, a 4-3 loss to Decatur. “There were jitters in that first game.”
Despite Bowie leading 7-3 in the hit category, Decatur never relinquished their lead after scoring two runs in the first inning.
Bowie took on Covenant Christian out of Colleyville in their next game, resulting in the rare tie because of time constraints.
“We did a good job coming from behind to tie it,” said Rogers. “That was sort of the theme of the weekend.”
With Bowie down 3-1 entering the bottom of the sixth, Carter Shackelford rose to the occasion, belting a two-run home run with two outs. Coby Bentley pitched the first five innings of the game, allowing one earned run and striking out eight.
Rogers said the two games earlier in the day settled the team for their final game of their Friday, a 2-0 win over Alvarado for the first victory of the season. Read more, and see complete boxscores, in the mid-week newspaper.

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.
