Two rebounds shy of a double-double.
That’s what happened during the Texas Girls Coaches Association 1A-3A girls’ basketball all-star game at Arlington High School on Friday as former Bowie High School standout Madison Wallace tallied 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Red team in their 71-53 victory.
“I was really nervous and worried coming into the game,” said Wallace, a 5-foot-11 center. “But, once the game started, I was able to get in a rhythm and get comfortable.”
Wallace was a three-sport star for the Jackrabbits, also competing in golf as well as the track and field squad as a discus specialist.
“It was fun playing with all those amazing athletes, and I met so many new people.”
Many of the girls Wallace played alongside or against during the game will play basketball on the collegiate level. However, Madison has decided to focus on academics at Texas Tech in Lubbock, where she will major in business.
“It was an awesome experience for Madison,” said Colby Davis-Pastusek, Bowie’s head coach who served in the same capacity with the 1A-3A Red team. “It was a great way for her to end her playing career.
“She had a great game. She was consistent,” added the coach, who complimented Wallace on her strong defense that propelled Red to the victory.
Davis-Pastusek said players were substituted in four-minute intervals. The game was played using two 18-minute halves. Read more in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News.

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.
