Workman Watch

Published

on

Former Bowie High School and Boston Red Sox pitcher Brandon Workman returned to the starting rotation on Friday evening against the New York Yankees.
Red Sox manager John Farrell made the announcement while the team was in Seattle on Tuesday.
Farrell indicated he would like to keep him in the rotation going forward.
“He hasn’t done anything to warrant not getting the ball in the rotation,” Farrell said in a story written by Jason Mastronardo for the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. “We’re just trying to be consistent and yet look at guys that have earned their ability to stay in the rotation by their performance. So we’re in a period of time here where we’re trying to work through a number of things.”
During five starts, Workman has a 3.21 earned-run average.

Red River Bass Club closes season

Published

on

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.”
