Forestburg is an up-and-coming program in 6-man Division II football, starting that journey during the 2007 campaign.
Throckmorton has been powerhouse at both the 6-man and traditional 11-man level for years here in North Texas.
This Friday at Longhorn Field, Forestburg plays host to Throckmorton with the District 12-1A-II title on the line. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
Forestburg is coming off a hard-fought 58-57 victory over Woodson this past Friday.
“We didn’t play our best game, but we got a win,” Forestburg head coach Wayne Tuckwell said. “It’s come down to playing for a district championship for us. I thought we could do this. We have worked hard to get to this point.”
Tuckwell said there is high excitement at the school and in this small hamlet in southeastern Montague County. The Greyhounds will run a dazzling Jaybird offense and multiple defenses.
“They will line up in a four-man front, three-man front or two-man front,” Tuckwell said. “The challenge is going to figure out what plays we can run with what defense.”
Tuckwell said everyone on Throckmorton’s squad is a playmaker. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.

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.
