Typically, high school football teams have plenty of film of their opponents and can make decisions based off what they see.
But, Gold-Burg head coach Jay Johnson admitted he hasn’t seen much from Winston School, which is located in Dallas.
“It’s not a good feeling,” admitted Johnson, heading into his first game at the helm of the Bears. “All we can do is prepare our offense, and just run our stuff.”
The game is set for 7 p.m. on Friday in Murphy.
It’s the start of three straight road games for Gold-Burg.
Johnson said he’s hoping the Bears can implement a ball-control running game this Friday night to help them win. On defense, look for Gold-Burg to mix up man and zone coverage out of a base 2-3 defense.
Winston School is in the same boat as Gold-Burg, starting over with a new coach. Chris Borth takes over for departed coach Mark Hambrick.
Spread back Noah Velasco is expected to be the focal point of Winston’s offense. Christopher Lane is the Eagles’ most talented player on defense, at linebacker. Anthony Beres gives Winston a special teams threat at kicker and punter. 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.
