Powerlifters qualify for state meet
After competing at the regional meet at Bells last week, the area has four girls that qualified for the state powerlifting meet.
Bowie’s Jeileigh Schaffer, Bellevue’s Brylie Hager and Nocona’s Kaitlyn Tiffner and Savannah Wade are all heading to the state meet after finishing in the top two in their weight class.
Bowie had four girls competing in division I. Schaffer got second in the 242 weight class, lifting a total of 685 pounds. Haley Henry earned points getting fourth place in the 114 class as the Lady Rabbits finished in ninth place overall. Alleson Aguirre earned sixth place in the 148 class and Trently Brewer failed to complete all three of her lifts, or bombed out.
Nocona had six girls competing in the 1A-2A division and had three lifters finish within the top five in their weight class to earn points as the Lady Indians finished fourth overall.
Tiffner earned her third straight trip to state, winning the 105 weight class with a total of 500 pounds. Wade won the 123 pound class as she lifted 695 total pounds.
While she missed out on qualifying for state, Jaelyn Rodriguez earned third place in the 220 class to round out Nocona’s scoring. Yazmin Ibarra and Kylea Wallace both got ninth place in their weight classes while Caris Johnson bombed out.
Bellevue, competing in the 1A-2A regional meet for the first time ever as a program, had Hager finish second in the 105 weight class as she lifted 485 total pounds. She becomes the first ever athlete from the school to qualify for the state meet.
The Lady Eagles had three other lifters compete as well. Brittany Gill earned eighth place, Ella Broussard got 10th place and Mary Grace Broussard ended up bombing out.

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.
