SPORTS IN BRIEF: Students honored for their academics
Many local athletes were honored by state associations for their hard work in the classroom.
Bowie’s Logan McMurray and Lily Gill and Miriam Diaz and Victoria Fatheree from Nocona were all named academic all-state in cross country by the Texas Girls Coaches Association.
In volleyball, Stephanie Clement from Bowie and four girls from Nocona – Makenzie Breeze, Katelynn Walker, Kady Hackley and Madilynn Cable – were so honored.
The Texas High School Coaches Association also recognized several Bowie athletes. Cassie Caswell and Clement were academic all-state choices in volleyball and Lee Robertson, Dylan Slade, Jesse Vaughn were chosen from the Jackrabbit football program.
To make the TGCA academic-all-state team, athletes must possess a grade-point average of 94 or above, be a senior and a team member in good standing.
Coaches are reminded to email academic all-state honors to The Bowie News at: bnewssports@gmail.com.

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.
