FISHING: Bowie takes fifth at Texoma
The Bowie High School bass fishing team continued a successful first campaign, placing fifth at the Lake Texoma Meet on Saturday.
The meet took place at Cedar Mills Marina in Gordonville, north of Whitesboro.
Burleson’s Centennial High School was the meet winner.
Hadley Morgan and Lane Hopson fared the best among the Bowie two-person teams. The pair weighed 2.78 pounds of fish.
Mitch Sanders fished alone, and caught 2.63 pounds.
Spenser Meekins and Jared Stone teamed up to catch 2.32 pounds of fish.
Those three teams finished in the top-25. There were 67 two-man teams overall.
The teams of Jake Rhyne and Kollin Gillaspia and Stetson Gaines and Brandon McChesney didn’t catch any fish large enough to weigh.
“It was an absolutely miserable day to fish with the heat,” Trent Gillaspia, Bowie fishing team coordinator, said. “There were no clouds. More than half the teams didn’t have any fish to weigh.”
With no cloud cover, fish are less likely to bite.
“With the conditions, I am pleased with the way we fished.”
There was a boat captain’s side pot, and Rusty Edwards won it. Edwards caught a fish weighing 7.86 pounds. He served as the boat captain for Mitch Sanders.
Bowie’s next meet will take place in March at Lake Lewisville.

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.
