Both on the verge of clinching playoff spots from district 1A-21, the Bellevue High School boys’ and girls’ basketball teams played visiting Tioga.
In the girls’ game, Bellevue outscored Tioga 16-8 in the opening quarter, setting the tone in a 56-38 victory.
Bellevue reached double-digit scoring in all four quarters, but head coach Bryan Goehring was more impressed with how the Lady Eagles played defense.
“I thought we played pretty well on defense,” he said.
The win secured a playoff spot for the Lady Eagles, but there is still work to be done in district play, which includes Tuesday’s home clash with Forestburg.
Bellevue could play the role of spoiler. Should the Lady Eagles win, they would keep Forestburg from securing a piece of the District 1A-21 title with Slidell.
Hannah McWilliams paced the Lady Eagles with 20 points. Alex Brown and Madi Eckeberger both had eight points, and Devon Cassetty chipped in with seven.

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.
