The Bowie Jackrabbits opened District 3A-9 competition Saturday, playing host to Holliday.
Bowie endured a slow start – but rallied late in the game – before the Eagles topped the Jackrabbits 56-54.
“We knew Holliday was going to be tough,” said boys’ basketball coach Doug Boxell. “The team got off to a poor start, but picked it up as the game went along.”
Bowie outscored Holliday 18-8 in the fourth quarter, bringing about a dramatic finish to the game.
Holliday entered the fourth with a 48-36 lead.
Bowie kept chipping away at Holliday’s margin and the Jackrabbits were down six at the 6-minute, 38-second mark of the fourth.
Fast forward to the final minute of the game, Jeffery Howard nailed a 3-pointer to bring the score to 55-54 Holliday with 25 seconds to go.
With 15.5 seconds on the clock, the ball rolled out of bounds after the Eagles played it in.
The officiating crew returned possession to Holliday, and the Eagles eventually secured the victory.

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.
