Texas 6-Man Clinic next week
The Texas 6-Man Coaching School will begin on Tuesday at the Wichita Falls Hotel with a social gathering at the Kiowa Casino.
Clinic sessions will start on Wednesday with individual Texas 6-man coaches. That afternoon, Tim “Trapper” O’Connell will have a session on concussion training. There will be a chalk talk session on Wednesday evening.
More breakout sessions are slated Thursday before a golf outing in the afternoon. On Friday, there will be a session with the University Interscholastic League and a general business meeting.
On Friday night, the 6-Man Division II East-West game will take place at Memorial Stadium. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, the East-West girls’ and boys’ basketball game are set for D.L. Ligon Coliseum on the campus of Midwestern State University, with the girls game at 1 p.m. and the boys at 3 p.m. The 6-Man Division I football game will take place at 7:30 p.m.
Saint Jo girls basketball coach Glenn Boerger will be coaching the East squad in the girls’ all-star contest.
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 2nd 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 8th 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 2nd 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.
