The Bowie High School volleyball team worked out the kinks with a scrimmage on Saturday in the high school gymnasium.
It was all in preparation for Tuesday’s season-opening match against regional qualifier Archer City here at home.
Look in the weekend Bowie News for complete results.
Bowie head volleyball coach Jeanie Stark had every reason to be happy with the Lady Rabbits’ performance.
Bowie split with Conference 4A Iowa Park in the opener and followed that with a two-set thrashing of Graham, another 4A program. The Lady Rabbits showed great resolve in splitting with Conference 5A Azle, coming back from three points down to win one of the sets.
“It was encouraging,” Stark said. “We were playing against good teams, playoff teams, and we were right there with them. For the sixth day of the season, I was pleased.”
Libero Karsen Morgan was a focal point, delivering solid passes to the setters and hitters. The Lady Rabbits showed strong communication and teamwork.
“We still have some work to do,” Stark said. “We still need to work on our defense and our serve receive.”
The Lady Rabbits will be using a 6-2 offense this season.
One of the more dangerous components for Bowie will be its unpredictability while serving. 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 2^nd 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 8^th 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 2^nd 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.
