The Prairie Valley girls’ basketball team featured a new player during Friday’s District 1A-21 game.
Robin Fenoglio, who hadn’t played in nearly two years, was back in the court for the Lady Bulldogs out of necessity.
Lexi Roof was out of action with a toe injury and Taylor Carter has been reduced to limited activity. Prairie Valley needed another player, so Fenoglio stepped in.
However, even with another player, Forestburg had simply too much depth – and the Lady Horns outscored the Lady Bulldogs 18-6 in the final quarter to prevail 47-29.
“We started the game very slowly,” Forestburg head coach Rosana Barbosa said. “We played a very strong fourth quarter. We allowed them to score only six points.”
Barbosa said Forestburg is playing well, improving to 10-7, 2-0 in 1A-21, but she doesn’t see any district games being easy.
Prairie Valley stayed close with Forestburg, but the Lady Horns inside presence eventually wore down the Lady Bulldogs.
“Playing in the post is a weakness of ours,” Prairie Valley head coach Jeannie Carpenter admitted. “They have good girls in the post, and they are tough to defend. That’s what hurt us in the game.”

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.
