For a game that went into overtime, the Bowie High School boys’ basketball team didn’t leave much room for drama during the extra session.
The Jackrabbits outscored Krum 10-2 in overtime en route to a 53-45 victory at the Bowie Tournament on Saturday at the high school gymnasium.
“We picked up our intensity,” Bowie head boys’ basketball coach Doug Boxell said. “We got some energy when Jeffery (Howard) made those 3’s.”
So, Bowie didn’t necessarily make many defensive adjustments, the Jackrabbit players simply guarded Krum closer and caused a high volume of contested shots.
Bowie won all five of its games at the tournament, defeating the likes of Mineral Wells, Iowa Park, the Abilene Hawks’ homeschooled team and Callisburg.
Jackrabbit senior Cooper Cantwell was named tournament most valuable while Chase Hall and Howard both attained all-tournament status.
Bowie (7-0) played perennial state powerhouse Brock on Tuesday night in a game between father and son coaches. Doug’s son, Zach, is the head coach at Brock.
Coincidentally, Brock is also 7-0, and both teams are ranked in the latest Texas Association of Basketball Association Coaches poll. The Eagles sit at No. 1, and the Jackrabbits are ranked for the first time this year at No. 21. 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.

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.
