HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL: McCarty top newcomer in 3A-9
Bowie High School catcher Courtney Brady and shortstop Taylor McCarty were handed major honors in District 3A-9.
McCarty, a freshman, hit the ball at a .414 clip with four doubles, three triples and one home run. Taylor reached base more than half of the time. She recorded 60 assists and 54 putouts defensively.
Brady was moved to catcher late in the season and hit .279, with two triples during the bi-district playoff round. Courtney finished with a team-best 27 RBIs, and scored 20 times. Defensively, she had 45 putouts and had only eight errors.
Two Bowie players were first-team selections in second baseman Henslee Ogle and Angelo State-bound Petie Wolsey.
Ogle hit .283, but drew 12 walks for a .424 on-base percentage, and she scored 14 times. Henslee recorded 37 putouts and 30 assists and committed just seven errors.
Wolsey was Bowie’s undisputed leader batting in the No. 1 hole, with a team-best 39 runs scored and a scorching batting average of .552. Petie put together a .949 fielding percentage with 34 putouts.
Bowie also had five second-team choices with pitcher Kellbie Throckmorton, catcher Jayde Brezina, Callie Melton at first base, and outfielders Addy Cook and Tristin Hopson. Nocona’s Katelynn Walker was a second-team selection at second base and Karlie Pepper was the same over at third base. Read more, and see the complete all-district list, 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.
