The Forestburg Longhorns and Lady Horns were presented with big tasks Friday evening as they played host to Bellevue.
It ended up a split night as Forestburg claimed the girls’ game by a count of 46-24 while Bellevue, ranked 17th in the latest Texas Association of Basketball Coaches poll, won the boys’ contest 75-43.
In the girls’ game, Bellevue looked a bit off, which Forestburg was able to take advantage of in the Lady Horns’ victory.
“We played some awesome defense against a good team,” said Lady Horns coach Rosana Barbosa.
The defense held Bellevue to only four points in two quarters, allowing nine at the most.
“They really were tough on defense,” said Bellevue coach Bryan Goehring. “Their pressure made us pretty uncomfortable. And they were able to knock down more shots than us.”
Hope Phipps led Forestburg to the win with 12 points, eight rebounds ,one block and one steal.

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.
