Bowie High School head football coach Dylan Stark said the 2014 schedule certainly isn’t easy – and that’s district and non-district games alike.
The Jackrabbits will open the season on the road at Wichita Falls Hirschi on Aug. 29. The game will take place at Memorial Stadium at 7:30 p.m.
The University Interscholastic League redrew districts this past year, a process that takes place every two years. In addition, all high schools across the state of Texas were bumped up one conference as part of a new nomenclature.
Bowie will play in the new Conference 3A Division I District 4. The district also features Breckenridge, Boyd, Brock, Ponder and Paradise.
“The new district brings us new faces with Breckenridge and Brock,” Stark said. “This will be a tough district from top to bottom. Nothing will be easy. Trips to Boyd, Breckenridge and Ponder will be a challenge. Three out of our five district games are on the road.”
Conveniently, the Jackrabbits’ bye comes the week before their district slate begins on Oct. 10 on the road at Boyd. The district slate wraps up on Nov. 7 with the Senior Night game at home versus Paradise.
Breckenridge features a new head coach in Casey Hubble, who inherits a deep roster with 16 returning starters. Pick up the weekend edition of The Bowie News for more on this story, plus a clip-and-save schedule, too.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.

Trinadee Imotichey is trying to do just that with her Forestburg Lady Longhorns.

Imotichey, an assistant coach on the 2025 Forestburg volleyball team, was moved into the head coaching position. Last year’s coach, Cori Hayes, took over as football head coach.

Imotichey, in her 2^nd year in Forestburg, said she learned a lot from Hayes and is ready to take over.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.

The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.

Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.

Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.

Sage Keck, an 8^th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.

She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.

Her success continued, as she finished 2^nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
