The Bowie and Nocona High School volleyball teams are two cogs in a competitive District 3A-10 this season.
The University Interscholastic League formed this eight-team district earlier this year, and the quality of volleyball has been outstanding as evidenced by so many five-set matches being contested.
Nocona learned valuable lessons in a five-set loss to Boyd on Sept. 20 the Lady Indians applied to their match with Montague County rival Bowie on Tuesday.
In the end, the Lady Indians proved too much for the Lady Rabbits by scores of 25-23, 25-17, 16-25, 22-25 and 15-8 at a raucous BHS gymnasium.
“The difference between the fifth set against Boyd and Bowie is in the Boyd game we had several unforced errors,” Nocona head coach Tiffany Clay said, “which changes the momentum of the game quickly.” Read more in the weekend edition of The Bowie News, including complete district standings for all local schools.

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.
