The Saint Jo High School girls’ basketball team had the daunting task of taking on Turner of Burneyville, Okla., on Tuesday.
For the Lady Panthers, simply dribbling or passing the ball past half court was a challenge as the Falcons overwhelmed Saint Jo 66-17 at “The Dome.”
Turner is currently ranked 12 in Class A up in Oklahoma. The Falcons qualified for Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association state tournament last season, bowing out to Seiling in the opening round.
It marked the second time this season Saint Jo played Turner.
“Turner is 12-deep and they play a tough, physical style,” Saint Jo head coach Glenn Boerger said. “They are the best shooting team we have seen, easily, this season. They will be a tough out in the Oklahoma playoffs.”
If last year’s Saint Jo roster was still available to play, the game would have been competitive.
But, not so much now as the Lady Panthers are in rebuilding mode for the future.
Turner’s suffocating defense didn’t even allow Saint Jo to score in the opening quarter, and the Lady Panthers didn’t tally their first two points until 5 minutes, 48 seconds was left in the second stanza. 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.

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.
