Rabbits not fazed after loss

For Bowie High School head football coach Dylan Stark, the focus goes from a top-flight running back to a speedy quarterback.
Bowie’s defense will take on Lake Worth signal caller Tray White, who started as a wide receiver last season but moves under center this season.
“Their quarterback is athletic,” Stark said. “They like to have the ball in his hands, and he’s elusive.”
West has a 40-yard dash time of about 4.5 seconds, which isn’t nearly as fast as Wichita Falls Hirschi’s Cedric Battle, who controlled last Friday’s game at Memorial Stadium as the Huskies won 40-28.
“We want to be able to get that first win,” Stark said.
Lake Worth will try to confuse Bowie’s offense with a pair of different defensive alignments, with both a 4-3 and a split 4-4.
The Bullfrogs, like Hirschi a member of Conference 4A, has Kameron Milton at middle linebacker.
“He runs downhill well, and he’s aggressive,” Stark said. “He knows how to get after it.”
Last week, like Bowie, Lake Worth was on the losing end of things falling to Fort Worth Country Day, 27-22. Both teams are 0-1 heading into Friday’s contest at Jackrabbit Stadium.
Lake Worth was 6-5 last season, a bi-district finalist, however only two returners come back on both offense and defense. The Bullfrogs have lost a whopping 19 seniors to graduation from last year’s postseason team. Read more in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News, including game statistics.

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.
