Gold-Burg’s boys’ and girls’ basketball teams played host to different opponents Tuesday night.
The Lady Bears opened District 1A-21 competition against Bellevue while the Bears played host Poolville’s junior varsity squad.
In the first game of the evening, the Lady Eagles soared on the road with a huge 79-12 win.
“It was a really good first step for opening the district,” said Bellevue coach Bryan Goehring.
“We’re just focusing on progress,” said Gold-Burg coach Lyndsey Shaw. “We scored more against them the second time, and with fewer girls.”
The Lady Bears offensive struggles continued into the first quarter of this game – down 26-4 after one. The struggles continued as a six-point fourth quarter was the best they could muster in the defeat.
“We have a lot of work to do on offense,” Shaw said. “We struggle with keeping the ball in our control playing against teams like Bellevue.”
Bellevue, meanwhile, was firing on all cylinders throughout the game.
The Lady Eagles were relentless in the first three quarters, scoring at least 20 points in each quarter.
Goehring said the team mixed it up through the game, starting by pressing their opponent, then moving into man-to-man play and finishing with a 2-3 zone scheme. Read more, and see complete box scores, in the weekend Bowie News in print and with your electronic subscription.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.

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.
