The Bowie High School softball team has been scrambling to find games because of poor weather this season.
The Lady Rabbits didn’t care whom they played, and that was fully evident during the Walker Stallcup Tournament this past Friday and Saturday.
Bowie defeated Conference 6A Cleburne in a pair of games by scores of 12-6 and 6-5, but fell to Texas Girls Coaches Association 5A third-ranked Canyon and Pilot Point (11th in 3A).
“The quality of the 5A and 6A teams we played will help us get into our district games,” Bowie coach Brant Farris said. “We competed at a higher level and we faced better pitching.”
Farris was pleased with how the Rabbits competed.
“We had Canyon down 3-0 before they were able to scratch out six runs and win,” the coach commented.
Bowie stood at 8-9 heading into Tuesday night’s game versus Jacksboro as District 3A-9 play resumed. The Lady Rabbits will then turn around and play City View on Friday at home.
Addy Cook scored the game-winning run in Saturday’s victory over Cleburne, scoring when Callie Melton reached base safely.
Courtney Brady started the rally with a single past shortstop and she later scored on a Cleburne error. Ashlyn VanWey and Henslee Ogle plated the Lady Rabbits runs in the fourth inning as the team fought back from a 5-2 deficit to win.

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.
