Bowie played its home opener on Tuesday against Millsap.
And the Jackrabbits improved to 2-0 after a 51-45 win in a rather eventful game at BHS Gymnasium.
“We played some good second and third quarters,” said head coach Doug Boxell. “The fourth quarter got a little out of hand, but we still managed to keep control.”
The opening quarter was a tight one, as Bowie gained their first lead of the game within the final minute of the quarter with a 13-11 score.
“Both teams started off that quarter well,” Boxell said. “They both hit some good threes at the beginning.”
However the animosity between the two teams took center stage in the game, mainly in the fourth quarter. Both teams had some rough bouts of pushing and shoving which ultimately ended in the Millsap fans and team leaving in disgust.
However Boxell, who after a foul committed against Jeffery Howard in the fourth quarter stormed out to the court to confront the culprit, exercised calm with the team.
“Well sometimes you just have to stick up for one of your players like that,” Boxell said regarding that moment. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the weekend 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.
