On May 29, the new Bowie News sports editor had the privilege of attending the Nocona High School athletic banquet in the elementary school gymnasium.
Watching the proceedings, it was clearly evident how much Nocona cares about the sport of volleyball.
Sandy Langford, who has spent the past few years guiding the Indians to greatness, cried several times while discussing the 2013 season. And the tears rolled for good reason.
As many readers surely know by now, Langford has accepted a similar coaching position at Glen Rose outside of Stephenville.
Langford’s coaching propelled the Indians to the 2011 University Interscholastic League Conference 2A state championship match, before falling to Poth in three straight games.
Like Bowie in girls’ basketball, Nocona has its tradition in volleyball. For more, read the weekend edition of The Bowie News.

Red River Bass Club closes season

Published

The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.

Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.

Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

Stewart becoming new BHS golf coach

Published

on

New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.

Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.

He originally had never planned on coaching golf.

“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
