The Bowie High School boys’ basketball team ushered in the new season on Monday at the dazzling American Airlines Center in Dallas.
The Jackrabbits had to adjust to the big stage as the Bobcats tallied the first nine points of the game.
But, once Bowie made those adjustments, the team had the lead for most of the second half en route to a 59-56 victory.
“We played a lot of kids,” Bowie head coach Doug Boxell said. “We played a lot of different combinations and groups. I was satisfied to get a win.”
For Boxell, it was all about finding the right combination of players to get a victory, and the Jackrabbits secured this win.
Bowie earned it by converting on 17-of-24 free-throw attempts (71 percent) and by grabbing 12 offensive rebounds. That’s what wins games like this one.
Boxell said there were other keys to victory.
“Our man defense hurt them more than anything else,” he said. “As the game went along, we were able to get more turnovers with it. I thought the kids played hard.”
Chase Hall and Jeffery Howard tied for the team lead with 12 points. Hall also snared 10 rebounds for a double-double.
Krum netted the game’s first nine points, and Bowie clawed back to within five points by the end of one quarter, 17-12. Read more, and see the complete box score 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 2^nd 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 8^th 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 2^nd 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.
