Bowie High School will send nine players to the Conference 3A regional meet set for April 20-21 at Tyler Junior College in Tyler.
This was by virtue of the Rabbits’ performance in the District 3A-9 tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday at BHS Tennis Courts.
Katelin Price defeated a player from Holliday Hannah Todd to garner the girls’ singles. Todd won a playback on Thursday morning for second place.
“I was very pleased with them all,” Bowie head boys’ and girls’ tennis coach David Hall said. “Our boys are young. The girls did an outstanding job. It was an exciting two days. We did well, and I am happy for them.”
Hall said it was Price’s court sense and ability to move the ball around that secured the top spot.
The coach also was complimentary of the Rabbits’ doubles teams as the team of Meagan Russell and Myah Russell earned first place.
The Russells defeated teammates Veronica Hernandez and Stephanie Crawford for the top spot. But, both Hernandez and Crawford also are advancing to the regional tournament.
“The Russell girls are always putting in extra time at the courts,” Hall said.
Hall said Bowie’s mixed doubles tandem consisting of Maria Gonzalez and Cameron Gunter are very athletic, and that’s why the pair won. Gonzalez and Gunter defeated a team from Henrietta.
Gunter devoted this season to tennis, and it’s paid off. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

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.
