Jacksboro Middle School’s 8th-grade football team got off to a good start versus visiting Breckenridge Oct. 4 but the visiting Broncos broke things open with a pair of second-half touchdowns to post a 22-6 win over the Tigers at Tiger Stadium.
The Jacksboro 7th grade football team will head into district play unbeaten after wins over Eastland and Breckenridge.
“Blackout” eventually meant a black eye.
With a big match Friday afternoon vs. Peaster, a “blackout” was declared to have Jacksboro fans wear black which they did en masse. The visitors, in their black road uniforms, were the ones that appeared inspired, however.
POOLVILLE – Injuries can prove detrimental to what a team wants to do.
In the District 11-A volleyball opener between Bryson and Poolville Sept. 8, Cowgirl senior hitter Sydney Davidson was coming off an injury. The visiting Lady Monarchs were able to take advantage and posted a four-game win.
Tuesday night, Davidson was back to her old self, laying down kills and blocks with ease and efficiency. Poolville held tough and even forced a fourth game before Bryson pulled out a tough 25-22, 25-23, 18-25, 27-25 win.
PARADISE – It’s been said that momentum can change on a dime. In the Sept. 28 volleyball match here, it changed even quicker than that.
When facing a third-string quarterback, a team is very uncertain of what to expect from him.
After a slow start, Jacksboro looks to be on its way to another productive season.
The Tigers have won their last two games, including a 29-6 victory over Wichita Falls City View last Friday evening, to even their record at 2-2. A win Friday at home vs. Eastland would keep the squad in a positive frame of mind and allow Jacksboro to enter District 6-3A Division II on a high note.
When the top-ranked team in the state comes into your gym, the best thing to do is to play to your potential and give it everything you have.
Jacksboro’s varsity volleyballers did just that with Boyd at home Tuesday evening, giving a solid effort vs. the Lady Jackets before ultimately falling in straight sets 18-25, 20-25, 15-25. It was the second straight setback for the Tigerettes, who fall to 3-3 in District 7-3A while Boyd is now 6-0 in the loop.
After a week of practice where Jacksboro coaches rode their players hard, the Tigers responded getting out to a quick start Friday evening.
With a nice Homecoming crowd behind the team, Jacksboro scored on three first-half drives and wound up with a 33-14 win over previously unbeaten Paradise. The Tigers are now 1-2 for the season while Paradise falls to 2-1.
BRYSON – Wichita Falls Notre Dame’s football team arrived here Friday night with just seven able bodied players.
They left with barely half that.
