AREA FOOTBALL ROUNDUP: Savoy stomps Saint Jo
Savoy erupted for 35 third-quarter points as spread back Alex Caldwell took over for the Cardinals in a 57-29 victory over homestanding Saint Jo at Harley Sewell Field.
“We didn’t rise up to the challenge,” Saint Jo head coach Chad Tallon said, “and we struggled.”
Saint Jo (4-3) will play its 9-1A-I opener Friday at Tioga.
The Panthers established a 15-6 lead at the end of one quarter, and they clung to a 15-14 edge at intermission.
Garrett Parker closed the margin to 22-21 in favor of Savoy after a 15-yard touchdown run.
But, then Caldwell proved to be too much for Saint Jo to handle.
“The kid is fast,” Tallon said. “We just didn’t get a hat on him.”
Wyatt West finished with a pair of TD receptions on passes from Garrett Parker.
West himself threw a one-point conversion pass to Blake Pledger on an untimed down in the first quarter. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News, including how Nocona fared as well as complete updated district standings.

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.
