Bellevue High School first-year girls’ basketball coach Bryan Goehring should be pleased with recent developments for the Lady Eagles.
The team is showing signs of cohesion, and that was on full display in Tuesday’s District 1A-21 victory over Prairie Valley 68-28.
“I thought Tuesday night was the first consistent game the girls have played for all four quarters,” Goehring noted. “Our defense got stronger as the game went on and our offense stayed steady throughout the game.
“The girls keep working hard in practice,” the coach added, “and keep their eyes on the goal of this season, which is to make the playoffs.”
Even though there are a slew of district games remaining, it’s becoming clear Bellevue’s girls resemble a team that will be featured on the postseason dance card.
The game was foreshadowed by a medical emergency involving Prairie Valley senior post player Amber Wood, who fell ill during the boys’ game.
Prairie Valley and Bellevue were knotted at 8-all in the first quarter when Hannah McWilliams connected on a pair of back-to-back buckets. McWilliams first made a baseline shot, and followed that with a layup on the Lady Eagles’ next possession.
Bellevue didn’t relinquish the lead for the remainder of 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.
