Though the Lady Bucks fought hard, they could not turn their second meeting with the Jacksboro Tigerettes into a win.
In their first meeting, Breckenridge had beaten the Tigerettes in four games.
After a Teagan Reynolds kill broke serve midway through game one, a point by the senior setter gave the Tigerettes an 18-13 lead. The Lady Bucks held tough, using a three-point Zena Ragle string and a Jimena Palacios point to get within 19-20.
Both Breckenridge High School and Breckenridge Junior High School cross country teams ran in the Dublin Dash Invite in Dublin Wednesday. The young Broncos led the way with a first-place finish in the boys’ junior high race.
The struggles continue for Breckenridge Buckaroos football. After a season-opening win against Jacksboro, the team has lost four straight games after last Friday’s 28-12 loss at Holliday.
The offense had season-low outputs in both rushing and total yards against a tough Holliday Eagles team that is allowing 10 points per game.
After a scoreless first quarter by both sides, the Buckaroos experienced a glimmer of hope. Chase Lehr put the Buckaroos ahead with an 18-yard pass to Jerry Lawson for a touchdown. The extra-point kick was no good, but the Buckaroos led 6-0.
After a season-opening win against Jacksboro, the Buckaroos have struggled to find wins. After going ahead by 13 points in the third quarter, the Buckaroos gave up 21-straight points on their way to a 28-19 loss Friday night at Eastland.
BRECKENRIDGE – A solid start by Jacksboro was more than countered by Breckenridge’s volleyball team Friday afternoon as the Lady Bucks posted a 15-25, 25-15, 25-12, 25-20 win here.
The young Tigerettes, who had a very rough non-district campaign, looked to turn it around quickly. A four-point Brailyn Tullous string, with help from a pair of Rylee Mathis kills, put the visitors up 7-2 in the opener and forced a Breckenridge timeout. Zena Ragle rolled off three straight to get within 8-9.
The Buckaroos saved their best for last and it was not enough. After a fourth-quarter comeback to force overtime, the Buckaroos fell 28-27 in overtime to the Cisco Loboes.
Breckenridge was held without a score in the first quarter as they trailed 6-0. Cisco scored on a 3-yard run in the opening quarter by Hunter Long, his first of three in the game.
The Breckenridge Buckaroos’ Homecoming took a sudden turn last week when just under 36 hours from kickoff, the Ballinger Bearcats, their scheduled homecoming opponent, canceled due to COVID-19. The athletic department scrambled and found the Bells Panthers was looking for an opponent after their week two opponent had canceled and Homecoming 2021 was back on.
Festivities resumed as normal with the pep rally Friday morning and the annual pre-game Homecoming Court announcement. Defensive back Julian Eutimio and Samantha Smalley were named Homecoming King and Queen before the game.
From the kickoff in the season-opening game last Friday, the Breckenridge Buckaroos led and never looked back against the Jacksboro Tigers for a 49-28 win at home.
The Bucks won the toss and Anson Rodgers took the opening kickoff for a 79-yard jaunt in for a Buckaroo touchdown. Then, first-year starting quarterback, Chase Lehr, passed the successful two-point conversion to Zeke Castillo, putting the Bucks ahead, 8-0, with 11:47 remaining in the first quarter.
The Breckenridge Buckaroos went up against the 4A Vernon Lions at Buckaroo Stadium for the first scrimmage of the 2021 season. If the doubters were at the scrimmage Friday afternoon, their qualms were answered.
Varsity quickly quieted all skeptics as the Bucks scored easily against the Lions, including a broken field run by the new quarterback, Chase Lehr. The defensive and offensive lines appeared to be much better equipped and more eager to tackle. They hustled against the Lions and quickly shut them down, never allowing them near the end zone.
