Jackrabbits pick up first district wins
The Bowie Jackrabbit baseball team was able to secure their first district wins of the season last week with their sweep of City View.
The Jackrabbits won 7-2 and 10-2 to break out of their slump and keep their playoff hopes alive.
Bowie came into the week having lost their first three district series against Jacksboro, Iowa Park and Henrietta with out a win.
The Jackrabbits knew they needed to win out if they wanted to keep their playoff hopes alive and got started against the Mustangs.
Bowie scored two runs in the first inning and three in the second inning to take control of the game. While the bats cooled off after that, adding only one run in both the fourth and fifth innings, it was enough to stay in firm control.
City View threatened, scoring runs in the fifth and sixth innings, but not enough to stage a comeback. The Jackrabbits held on to win 7-2.
The team got RBIs from Edmond De Leon, Trae Siegler, Hayden and Hunter Rodriguez. Bowie finished with eight hits and drew five walks.
On the mound, Seigler pitched a complete game, allowed two runs on two hits while striking out eight and walking two. The defense committed one fielding error.
The Jackrabbits were able to build on that win and play even better a few days later on the road. City View took the lead after the first inning, going up 2-1. That seemed to fire up Bowie as the team took back the lead in the second inning.
The Jackrabbits offense scored in all but two innings during the game while Bowie’s defense recovered to shut out the Mustangs the final six innings. The Jackrabbits won 10-2.
The team got RBIs from Rayder Mann, Boston Farris, Caden Belcher and Seigler to the lead the team. Bowie finished with 12 hits and drew eight walks. Combined with the five fielding errors from City View and the Jackrabbits benefitted from some unearned runs.
On the mound, Farris came in to pitch relief in the first inning. He allowed no runs and one hit while striking out nine and walking four in 5.2 innings of work. The defense committed one fielding error.

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.
