Bowie High School first-year head coach Brant Farris credits Boyd’s togetherness as a reason why the Lady Jackets are such a formidable team.
That esprit de corps was omnipresent on Tuesday as Boyd defeated Bowie for the second time this season, 11-2, in District 3A-9 action.
“They are all familiar with each other and they’ve been playing softball at a high level,” Farris said.
Bowie dropped to 13-12, 6-3 in the district. Boyd stands at 7-2 in 3A-9, tied with Holliday.
Many of Boyd’s girls play club softball as a means of betterment. Like Bowie’s baseball team, a slew of Lady Jackets have signed on to play college softball. Boyd is currently ranked in the top-25 of the Texas Girls Coaches Association poll.
Chelsea Arlington kept Bowie to single runs in the first and second innings en route to the win.
“She works both sides of the plate and she goes hard at hitters,” Farris said of Arlington, who threw 93 pitches in a complete-game performance.
Arlington struck out five and walked one. Only one of the two runs Arlington surrendered was earned. She scattered four Bowie hits.
Taylor McCarty had success against Arlington, the only Lady Rabbit with a multiple-hit game. She also walked once. Addy Cook and Petie Wolsey went 1-for-3.
Braxton Deford and Wolsey both scored for Bowie. Wolsey scored on Courtney Brady’s RBI groundout in the opening inning. Read more, and see the complete box score, 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.
