After starting with a victory over Grapevine Faith at the 57th Annual Whataburger Tournament, it was expected Bowie would face rough sledding in the championship bracket.
That’s exactly what happened as Bowie then suffered three straight losses – to Kennedale, Mexia and Abilene Wylie.
Still, Bowie showed it could compete against top-level teams and find some success along the way.
“We had a lead on Kennedale at halftime (22-21),” Bowie head coach Doug Boxell noted.
Bowie stands at 11-7 heading into its District 3A-9 opener today against Holliday at home. Tip-off is slated for 5 p.m. at the high school.
“Holliday’s a big district game,” said Boxell, who told The Bowie News the team practiced on Thursday morning despite the poor weather conditions. “We’ll have to learn from losing those games (at the Whataburger Tournament). We need to take those lessons and apply them to get better.”
In the loss to Wylie on Wednesday, Boxell thought the Jackrabbits didn’t hold their ground well enough for rebounds and shot too quickly on offense.

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.
