In what amounted to a match for possible playoff position, Forestburg got the better of rival Saint Jo at “The Dome” this past Friday.
The Lady Horns won by scores of 22-25, 17-25, 25-16, 25-13, 15-6, and improved to 18-11 overall and 4-3 in District 2A-10.
Saint Jo dropped to 9-17, 3-4.
“We didn’t play strong the first two sets against Saint Jo, but we were able to fight back,” Forestburg head coach Rosana Barbosa said. “They were ready to play us and Saint Jo did a great job. They made us work hard for every point.”
Saint Jo head coach Kristi Tallon concurred.
“Both teams played very hard,” she said. “It rallied back and forth until the very end. I am proud of the Lady Panthers for their hard work in this match.”
Haley Nolan and Hope Phipps both had 14 kills, with Virginia Cody putting down six kills and Kendall Wallace four kills plus a solo ace block, a season-best eight digs and five ace serves. Nolan chipped in with three digs. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.

The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.

Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.

Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.

Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.

He originally had never planned on coaching golf.

“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
