There’s one question for all high school basketball programs coming off the extended Christmas holiday break.
“How will they respond in their first game back?”
Well, for the Bellevue girls’ basketball team, the answer would be sluggish at first and fantastic at the finish during a 55-25 District 1A-21 victory on Friday during Bellevue’s Homecoming night.
Saint Jo and Bellevue played a competitive first half before the Lady Eagles outscored the Lady Panthers 32-10 in the second half. In fact, Saint Jo scored only one point in the final quarter.
“I thought the game overall went very well,” Bellevue girls’ basketball coach Bryan Goehring said. “We started off sluggish in the first half, which is expected coming back after the break.
“But the girls responded and played very well in the second half,” Goehring added. “I thought Alex Brown played an all-around good game with her defense, rebounding and scoring. It was good to get a win in the district, and I believe the girls are improving every day.”

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 2nd 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 8th 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 2nd 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.
