Bowie tennis falls to Graham
The Bowie tennis team suffered losses at 5A Wichita Falls Legacy on Sept. 19 and against 4A Graham at home on Tuesday afternoon.
The duel against Legacy was lost 17-2 and against Graham 15-4.
Playing its second duel last week against the Leopards, Bowie struggled. One of its wins came in the first position girl’s doubles match. Heidi Siebert and Laney Enlow dominated 6-1, 6-2 to win the match easily.
The other win was not as satisfying as it was a forfeit in mixed doubles from Legacy.
There were some competitive matches worth noting during the duel. The third position boy’s doubles team of Austin Atteberry and Jordan Mayes barely lost the third set super tie-breaker 11-9. That was after coming back from losing the first set 6-1, to dominating set two 6-1.
The first position boy’s doubles team of Rush Williams and Brendan Dudley bounced back from a 6-1 loss in set one to barely losing set two 7-5.
In singles competition, Laney Enlow had the best match of the day in third position girls singles. She ended up losing 9-7.
Bowie then hosted the Steers on Tuesday afternoon.
The Jackrabbits had a sweep of their girl’s doubles matches at the start of the duel. Heidi and Enlow won in first position again, with the score being 8-4.
The second position team of Willow Siebert and Alyssa Airington won its close match 8-6. The third position team of Leah Cantrell and Gentry Gray won 8-5.
Unfortunately, the Jackrabbits were down 4-3 after doubles ended and could not make not make up for it in singles where Graham pulled away.
Enlow won in the third position girl’s singles match 8-6. Mayes won in fifth position boy’s singles match easily 8-1. Tucker Childers had the other most competitive singles match in the duel in third position, but came up short losing 8-6.

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.
