The Saint Jo girls’ track and field team earned second place at the Conference 1A Area track and field meet on Saturday at Ponder High School.
“I was really proud of how our girls competed,” Saint Jo head coach Chad Tallon said. “We lost a 40-point individual from last year’s team, and knew it would be an uphill battle to win another area championship. Our young kids competed, and gave us a chance to win.”
Forestburg had the highest finishing boys’ team, scoring 95 points for fourth place.
“We are very pleased with the area results,” Forestburg head coach Steve Sandusky said. “We knew we had a good chance at being successful. We did the best we could, and we earned everything.”
Prairie Valley, Bellevue and Gold-Burg also provided highlights and qualified plenty of runners for the Conference 1A Region 3 meet scheduled for May 1-2 at Tarleton State University in Stephenville.
Gold-Burg’s lone area qualifier is freshman Shelby Horton in the discus.
“It’s going to be a great experience for her,” Gold-Burg head coach Jay Johnson said. “She’s had less of an opportunity outside because of the weather, so she’s been working on her technique inside. I think her conditioning helped her.”
Prairie Valley head coach Jack Williams was proud of the girls’ 400-meter relay and efforts from sprinter Paxton Edwards and jumper Alec Ducharme on the boys’ side. Read more, and see a complete list of area qualifiers plus team standings, in the mid-week 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.
