Forestburg basketball had a handful of schools over this past weekend for a tournament.
With the boys winning their first game Friday and the girls winning their games Thursday and Friday, both Forestburg squads played in the championship bracket.
However, both would fall to Muenster Sacred Heart.
The Lady Horns opened play against the Chico junior varsity team. Forestburg cruised to a 59-10 win.
Wichita Christian was next in line for the host team late Friday afternoon. The Lady Horns came out firing on all cylinders, getting a big 61-15 win.
“We played well,” said head coach Rosana Barbosa. “We were able to run the offense and try some new things. The defense was strong, and we had a good shooting night.”
Forestburg played a tremendous first half, holding their opponent to two points in both quarters while scoring 28 points before the half.
Though the team let their foot off the gas a little in the second half, Barbosa said the defense still had a tremendous effort in the game.
Alexia Britain paced the team with 16 points, also adding 10 rebounds, one steal and a block. Kaylee Choate recorded 12 points, five rebounds, six steals and an assist. Samantha Reynolds tallied nine points with one rebound, two assists and two steals.
The win paved the way for a championship game matchup against the Lady Tigers of Sacred Heart. 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.
