Red Sox Workman earns no decision

Former Bowie High School standout Brandon Workman returned to the major leagues on Thursday for the Boston Red Sox.
Workman started against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium, but he didn’t factor in the decision.
Workman left the game with a 4-3 lead, but the Red Sox bullpen couldn’t hold it as New York tripped Boston 5-4.
Overall, Workman threw 96 pitches with 65 of them for strikes in six innings of work.
Brandon allowed three earned runs on five hits. He struck out five and walked just two. And he didn’t surrender any home runs, which had been Workman’s Achilles’ heel all season long.
Workman threw first-pitch strikes to 15 of 25 batters.
The Yankees scored all three of those runs in the third inning, thanks to a two-run double from Derek Jeter and an RBI single from Carlos Beltran.
Brock Holt, like Workman a native of Texas, staked his teammate to the lead with a home run. David Ortiz did everything in his power to help Workman earn the win, jolting a pair of dingers.
It’s unclear when Workman’s next start will take place, but he’s expected to remain with Boston for the remainder of the 2014 season and work as part of an expanded six-man rotation. Read more in the weekend edition of The Bowie News.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
