After having a chance to enter the postseason ripped from them by Ponder the prior week, the Bowie High School football team played for pride.
The opponent was Paradise, which like Bowie came into the game without a district victory.
Bowie finally earned that win with a convincing 34-0 District 4-3A-I triumph over Paradise on Friday at Jackrabbit Stadium.
Bowie completed the season with a 2-8 record and a 1-4 mark in 4-3A-I.
“I felt like all three phases of the game played real well,” said head coach Dylan Stark. “The offense made some really big plays.”
The Jackrabbits offense came out firing on all cylinders to begin the game, leading 20-0 at the end of the first quarter.
Trace Hardee completed a four-yard pass to Chase Hall and a 51-yard pass to Jesse Vaughn for touchdowns in the opening act.
The defensive unit stood strong as well, recording four fumble recoveries in the shutout effort.
“The defense has played well all district,” Stark said. “Not many teams put up a lot of points on them.” Read more in the mid-week Bowie News, and see complete season-ending district standings.

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.

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.
