HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Jackrabbits roll on

After last Friday’s gut-wrenching one-point District 3A-9 loss to Nocona, how would Bowie respond against Jacksboro on Tuesday?
Well, the Jackrabbits won by a convincing 71-43 spread, but head coach Doug Boxell still thought the team could have played better.
“I wasn’t too pleased with how the game plan was executed,” Boxell said. “But we’re happy about a near 30-point win still.”
Bowie improved to 13-9 overall and 2-2 in 3A-9.
The Rabbits received a welcome boost with the return of Trey Johnson, who had been feared to be out for the remainder of the season with an injury.
“He’s quick,” Boxell said. “He also has a good basketball IQ.”
Bowie built a double-digit lead by halftime, and the Jackrabbits were up 24 after three quarters. But, the team allowed too many points in the fourth quarter to Jacksboro.

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.
