Former Bowie High School standout Brandon Workman didn’t pitch – even in a relief role – for the Boston Red Sox during the past few days.
Earlier this week manager John Farrell determined Workman wouldn’t make any more starts for the Red Sox this season, which concludes on Sunday as Boston plays the American League East-rival New York Yankees.
Steven Wright was expected to start Friday, Joe Kelly on Saturday and Clay Buchholz on Sunday.
Workman could work out of the Red Sox bullpen, but that’s not a given.
This season, Workman has compiled a record of 1-10 with an earned-run average of 5.17 in 87 innings pitched, which includes 15 starts and 19 overall appearances.
The Bowie High School 2007 graduate has allowed 57 runs (50 earned) on 88 hits, 11 of them home runs. Workman has struck out 70 while walking 36.
Workman has also pitched in the minor leagues this season for Triple-A Pawtucket. Overall, he has thrown 148-1/3 innings between the levels.

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.
