Bass club finishes fifth at Texoma
The second tournament of the Metroplex Division for the 2024-25 Texas High School Bass Association took place at Lake Texoma on Oct. 5.
The Bowie Red River High School Bass club had seven teams compete with six of those teams bringing fish across the scales.
This tournament proved to be another tough one for the youth and the boat captains. Weather was still warm and big fish had not moved up into the pockets and coves that they normally do this time of year. Water temps were over 80 degrees, which is not very conducive to making the fish bite. Bait could be found, but no great numbers of scorable bass.
Teams started fishing at 7 a.m. with lines out of the water by 3 p.m. It was a 134 boat tournament and gave prizes to 19th place. The overall winning weight went for more than 12 pounds to a team from Highland Park.
There were 63 teams that weighed fish while 71 were not fortunate enough to cross the stage, so only 47% of the teams weighed in a fish.
The team of Carson Caudle/Hunter Blackburn with boat captain Nick Bilby had four fish weighing in at 7.63 pounds and secured an 8th place finish.
The team of Lane Smith/Colt Henry and boat captain Jimmy Smith settled in at 10th place with a weight of 6.87 pounds on four fish.
Coming in at 37th was Stetson Forsyth/Samuel Grubbs and captain Jake Forsyth with two fish at 2.49 pounds. Walker Strahan/Bryce Ramsey with boat captain Terry Baker brought one fish across the stage for a weight of 2.32 pounds and 45th place.
Sy Parker/Colten Anglin and boat captain Jeff Pittman brought in one fish for 2.15 pounds for 51st place. Cooper Johnson/Corbyn Patton and boat captain Gary Eldred were able to secure one fish for 1.62 pounds for 62nd place.
Unfortunately, Ollie Haynie/Jaxon Rosenau and boat captain John Haynie were not able to find any of the fish they caught to measure the minimum 14 inches.
The Red River HS Bass Club finished in 2nd place at the Texoma tournament which gives it a ranking of 5th for Team of Year out of 28.

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.
