COLLEGE SOFTBALL: More stars for NCTC game
North Central Texas officials announced Wednesday that University of Oklahoma senior Lauren Chamberlain and former Texas A&M All-American Amanda Scarborough have been added to the NCTC Softball Alumni Games.
The games will take place at 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 15 at Darwin Field on the NCTC campus in Gainesville.
The game will raise money for both the NCTC Angels in the Infield Scholarship Fund and the Softball Family Benefit Fund.
Chamberlain and Scarborough join other prominent softball dignitaries Jennie Finch, Lauren Lappin, Danielle Lawrie and Taylor Hoagland.
There will be two alumni games, and a home run derby in between.
Tickets to the game will cost $10 for adults and $5 for children, sold at the gate.
Cheri Kempf, the commissioner of the National Pro Fastpitch League, will also be in attendance.
Chamberlain paced the Sooners to the 2013 national championship, and a top-3 candidate for USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year.
This past season, Chamberlain powered through for a .950 slugging percentage and she has racked up 72 career home runs. She plays for Team USA.
Scarborough was the Big 12 Conference co-pitcher of the year as a junior and helped the Aggies reach the College World Series in Oklahoma City, Ok., twice. She has also served as an analyst on ESPN softball broadcasts.

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.
