Bowie earned its first win of the season before the home crowd at Jackrabbit Stadium with a 41-36 overtime victory against Lake Worth.
“They just kept fighting,” said head coach Dylan Stark. “We still have a lot of things to clean up, but that’s why we have these non-district games. It wasn’t pretty, but I couldn’t be more proud of the guys.”
Despite losing three of their five fumbles in the game, the Rabbits managed the victory with determination as well as a little luck.
Bowie got off to a rough start as Lake Worth ran the opening kickoff 80 yards for the score.
A 10-yard touchdown run by Carter Shackelford tied the game at 7-all to set off a very back and forth scoring contest through most of the night.
The offense was very balanced Friday, scoring both on the ground and in the air.
“It’s a very balanced offense,” Stark said. “We feel like we can throw it, and we feel like we can run it.” Read more in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News, including complete statistics and a preview of Friday’s game against Henrietta.

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.
