Sports

While I’m not having any troubles hitting my 40 hours a week, I’m considering switching some things around to get some more sports in the short term.

Although no one noticed, I did have some freshman and JV football in the paper in late August because of early deadlines so I could fill pages. I have no problems with that when it’s for the right reasons.

I tend to go varsity first and when the need is there and I have room, then I go sub varsity, even junior high and middle school, if it’s there. I used to run middle school stuff all the time but the week dried up.

With some changes still possible, Jacksboro and Bryson have released their 2020-21 basketball schedules.

With the Tigerettes not playing volleyball this playoff season, their campaign will begin as a warmup for a football game. Jacksboro will play at Millsap at 5:15 Nov. 6 with the Tiger and Bulldog football teams playing at 7 p.m.

I’ve always been told patience is a virtue. Many of the same people tell me the early bird gets the worm.

They’re both right, I agree with each concept … at times.

For those wondering what in creation I’m talking about, we’re within a few weeks of basketball season. With all the seasons crossing, I like to stay ahead of the game and get my schedules together quickly, so I can set up a Master schedule.

Having a Master schedule, in my mind, keeps me organized on where I need to be. With COVID and its changes, that’s important.

BOWIE – Jacksboro’s varsity volleyball team came into Jackrabbit Gym Oct. 13 in a must win situation in order to set up a potential play-in match fore the postseason.

The Tigerettes knew Bowie was beatable, having gotten out to a 2-0 lead in the best-offive vs. the Lady Rabbits in the first meeting last month before losing the match. They came out early and took what most would believe was a sizable lead … and let it slip away.

JIDSD has a new sport for its students too compete in as bass fishing has joined the list.

MERKEL – Landon Davenport had finally had enough.
