HENRIETTA – Errors in non-district games really don’t matter much as there’s time to fix the mistake before the games that matter begin.

HENRIETTA – Jacksboro sophomore Avery Bennett was a bit nervous heading into the March 30 road game here, seeing how a win would mean a first-round District 7-3A sweep over a team that has given the Tigerettes fits over the years.

Even on the nights where you don’t play particularly well, good teams find a way to win.

Such is the case of Hacksboro which led from wire to wire but needed a five-run sixth inning to pull away and post an 8-3 victory over visiting Breckenridge.

Seventh-ranked Jacksboro is one win away from a perfect first round run through District 7-3A at 5-0 and will travel to Henrietta Tuesday night to try and accomplish the task. Results weren’t available as of press time.

Both the 7th and 8 grade JMS girls track teams finished with strong showings at a track meet last week.

The 7th grade finished with 139 points, good enough for 2nd place among five teams.Lainey Brown won the 400-meters with a time 1:10.20. Brown also combined by Sofia Buenostro, Dylann Nichols and Ruby Flores for a win in the 1,600-meter relay wit a time of 4:52.54.

Buenostro was 2nd in the 200-meters in 30.97, as was Madison Collins in the 800-meters with a 3:00.11 clocking, 1,600-meters in 6:45.02 and 2,400-meters in 10:32.10.

BOWIE – Call it run rule, extended edition.

After the Jacksboro softball team had run ruled Nocona 19-0 in five innings earlier in the evening, Jacksboro’s baseball team felt the urge to do the same thing, leading 11-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning. A game is considered over if one team leads another by 10 or more after five innings have been played.

Nocona had other ideas.
