A quick opener

The Bowie High School volleyball team played well in all phases during Tuesday’s match against Archer City as the Lady Rabbits prevailed in three games by scores of 25-8, 25-12, 27-25.
Archer City came into the game ranked ninth in the Texas Girls Coaches Association Conference 2A poll, and Bowie took it right at them from the start.
“We took them out of their offense with our serve and what we were doing on the outside,” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said.
Bowie stands at 1-0 heading into Tuesday’s match at Petrolia, who is competing in today’s Bryson Tournament.
In the third set, Archer City libero Madison Lucido gave her team a fighting chance by digging up most everything. Still, the Lady Rabbits rallied and eventually won the match in three.
“I knew if we could get it back to two points, we had a chance,” Stark said, “and that’s the way it played out. We started making fewer mistakes. I am proud of them, and how they came back.”
Stark quickly used two timeouts in the third set to settle down the Lady Rabbits, who began relying more on tipping and free balls rather than doing what was successful in the first and second set – well-placed, hard-nosed kills.

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.
