To paraphrase Bowie High School strength and conditioning coordinator Monte Sewell, it was a banner weekend for the Rabbit boys’ and girls’ lifters.
Nocona met with success as well.
In the end, Bowie will send three boys and three girls to the respective state meets and two qualified from Nocona.
The Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting Association meet will take place from March 20-21 at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi.
The Texas High School Powerlifting Association meet is set for March 28 at the Taylor County Exposition Center in Abilene.
Representing Bowie at state will be Kylie Robinson, Hannah Shaw, Shelbi Rhoda, Abraham Landaverde, Saul Landaverde and Cristian Martinez. Nocona will be represented by Deziray Graham and Lexi Towery.
“I am so proud of the kids’ team results and all the individual hardware we took home,” Bowie head powerlifting coach Quentin Berend said. “The kids saved their best lifting for the regional meets, and I am looking forward to what these young individuals can accomplish at state.”
Nocona head powerlifting coach Brandon Owen was equally enthusiastic.
“I am proud of both girls,” Owen said. “Dezi did a great job competing and Lexi pulled five more pounds of weight (than an entrant from Pottsboro). I like the fact Lexi went out and won her spot.” Read more, and see team standings, in the mid-week Bowie News.

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.

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.
There was no top overall cowboy in the age division.
