HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Bowie boys ‘charge’ to win over Nocona

Bowie High School boys’ basketball player Chase Hall had an unlimited charge account during Tuesday’s District 3A-9 clash against Nocona.
Hall was credited for taking five charges, including three in the first half. It appeared as if he took even more charges than that as Bowie defeated Nocona 55-45 – taking the district lead in the process.
“Bowie came out and made us very uncomfortable offensively,” Nocona head coach Tyson Mankin said. “They stepped in and took three charges early in the first quarter, I believe, before we even got a shot off. Those were big defensive possessions for them.”
Bowie head coach Doug Boxell agreed.
“It was huge, what Chase did,” Boxell said. “We kept them from scoring by taking charges. Those were some of the biggest plays in the game.”
Hall also contributed team-bests with nine rebounds, including four on the offensive glass, and three assists. He also had a couple of steals.
Boxell said Bowie had to play better defense this time around against Nocona, and that’s exactly what the Jackrabbits did – holding Nocona to three first-quarter points and 10 first-half points overall.
“They have some good 3-point shooters and they like to drive and kick the ball to the outside,” Boxell said. “We had to take away their right-hand dribble. We had to stay with their shooters and not help out on the drive.”

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.
