Boys lift at last regional qualifier meet
Boy powerlifters from Bowie, Nocona and Bellevue competed at Boyd on Feb. 20 in their final chance to qualify for the regional meet.
The Jackrabbits finished fourth overall as a team, Nocona finished seventh and Bellevue was tied for 10th place.
Bowie had five lifters finish in the top five in their weight class and score points toward the team total. One ended up winning his class.
Robert Zambrano won the 148 class with a total of 1,315 total pounds lifted.
Tyson Jordan and Tripp Brewer both got second in their weight classes, Jordan in the 198 pound and Brewer in the 220 pound. The final two athletes to score were Kaden Rutherford and Austin Komolosi who both got fourth place, Rutherford in the 114 class and Komolosi in the 165 class.
Unfortunately, Bowie had four lifters not complete all three of their lifts or bomb out.
Nocona only brought three of their lifters, but two of the three finished all three of their lifts and placed high enough to score points.
Kaedon Wallace won the 114 weight class as he lifted 690 total pounds. Teammate Omar Salinas finished second in the 123 class as he lifted 705 pounds.
For Bellevue, its two lifters completed their lifts, but neither were high enough to get into the top five in their weight class to score points.
Blake Reese finished eighth in the 181 class and Cam Blaylock finished 10th in the 220 pound weight class.
Bowie has six boys altogether along with one alternate that qualified: Tripp Brewer, Landyn Walker, Robert Zambrano, Jorge DeLeon, Tyson Jordan, Luis Covarrubias with Kaden Rutherford as an alternate.

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.
