Stark acknowledges Bowie’s slate isn’t easy

Bowie High School head football coach Dylan Stark said the 2014 schedule certainly isn’t easy – and that’s district and non-district games alike.
The Jackrabbits will open the season on the road at Wichita Falls Hirschi on Aug. 29. The game will take place at Memorial Stadium at 7:30 p.m.
The University Interscholastic League redrew districts this past year, a process that takes place every two years. In addition, all high schools across the state of Texas were bumped up one conference as part of a new nomenclature.
Bowie will play in the new Conference 3A Division I District 4. The district also features Breckenridge, Boyd, Brock, Ponder and Paradise.
“The new district brings us new faces with Breckenridge and Brock,” Stark said. “This will be a tough district from top to bottom. Nothing will be easy. Trips to Boyd, Breckenridge and Ponder will be a challenge. Three out of our five district games are on the road.”
Conveniently, the Jackrabbits’ bye comes the week before their district slate begins on Oct. 10 on the road at Boyd. The district slate wraps up on Nov. 7 with the Senior Night game at home versus Paradise.
Breckenridge features a new head coach in Casey Hubble, who inherits a deep roster with 16 returning starters. Pick up the weekend edition of The Bowie News for more on this story, plus a clip-and-save schedule, too.

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.
