The Bowie High School powerlifting team produced a bountiful harvest of top marks and a bushel full of awards during the Third Annual Chico Invitational on Saturday.
The Rabbit boys and girls placed third in their respective genders.
“All of our lifters had their highest totals of the year and we took home three of four best lifter awards,” Bowie head powerlifting coach Quentin Berend said.
“The Bowie powerlifters stepped up their game and competed really well,” Berend added. “Our lifters increased their regional rankings. I’m really excited how they competed.”
Overall, Bowie’s girls scored 31 points, nine points behind winner Springtown and host Chico. The Bowie boys tallied 24 points, behind Decatur and Ponder. Nocona’s girls were sixth with 14 points.
Five Bowie girls and three Bowie boys finished among in the top-two in several weight divisions.
Competing in the 114-pound weight class, Kylie Robinson was named best girls’ lightweight lifter, hoisting a combined 605 pounds in the following disciplines: Squat, bench press and dead lift. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.

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.
