MSU cycling team dominates
The Midwestern State Cycling Team put on a dominant display September 27-28 at the Tim Kelton Memorial Mountain Bike Race.
The race holds a special place in the hearts of the riders and the community as it honors the memory of Tim Kelton, who was the first mountain bike racer in MSU Cycling history.
Other teams in attendance were conference rivals Texas A&M and Hardin-Simmons. The weekend consisted of an opening individual time-trial and short track race held Saturday. The student-athletes closed out the weekend by competing in the cross country event on Sunday.
On the women’s side, MSU’s Emma Kasza-James and Gabby Wrightsman made a formidable duo that saw them each climb onto the podium on multiple occasions. For the men, Blake Keeling, Mauri Maldonado, and Cole Barrera led the stampede for the Mustangs
Riders Romain Gireme and Anthony Antunez also turned in impressive performances as they continue to improve and add depth to the already strong MSU mountain bike team. Some of the riders will be heading to compete at Collegiate Nationals from October 9-12.
The Mustangs will be back to local action at Texas A&M on October 25-26, they and will finish out the mountain bike season competing at Hardin-Simmons University on November 15-16.

Keeling and Maldonado tied for first in the event total recently at Texas State University’s mountain bike event, while Kasza-James won all three women’s events and the overall total. Wrightsman took second in the Women’s A behind her teammate.
Keeling was first in the criterium, second in the time trial, and second in the road race, while Maldonado won the road race and was second in the other two events. Barrera was third, and Sebastian De Leon was fourth to give MSU a sweep of the top four spots. Gireme and Antunez showed the depth of the team by going 1-2 in the Men’s B division.
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.
