The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team and Paradise vied for District 3A-9 supremacy on Friday evening.
Well, for the Lady Rabbits, their depth and their ability to knock down crucial fourth-quarter free throws helped them to a 42-35 conquest over the Lady Panthers.
With the victory, Bowie stands two games clear of Paradise in the district standings. The Lady Rabbits are now 24-5 overall, 11-0 in 3A-9.
“Paradise is a tough place to play,” Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek said. “It was a game of free throws, and we stepped up and hit them. That’s what we did.”
Courtney Brady, who paced Bowie with 13 points, sank all four free throws she took during the final frame. Addy Cook made two foul shots. So did Jordan Brightwell. And reserve Henslee Ogle canned 3-of-4 free throws.
Bowie scored all of its fourth-quarter points from the stripe.
Because Kamryn Cantwell and several other Lady Rabbits were riddled with foul trouble during the game, bench players like Lily Gill and Ogle played a vital role in the win.
“Henslee played really well,” Davis-Pastusek said. “She gave us good minutes. We needed her, and she made an impact.”
Bowie’s defense excelled yet again, holding Paradise guards Kaylee McConnell and Courtney Kerr to four points apiece. McConnell and Kerr combined for 28 points in the game at Bowie earlier this season.

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.

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.
