Bowie High School senior guard Courtney Brady attempted her first 3-pointer at the 5-minute, 35-second mark of the first quarter.
Brady canned the shot. She proceeded to make seven more overall as part of a career-high 31-point performance as Bowie doubled up Nocona 80-40 in District 3A-9 girls’ basketball action on Tuesday.
“Courtney is a great player for them,” Nocona head coach Brad McGann said. “She is always capable of putting up big numbers and she can shoot lights out.”
Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek was equally praiseworthy.
“It was an impressive performance,” the coach commented. “A game like that is one she’ll never forget.”
Brady made seven of those 3-balls in the first half alone, drawing plenty of ooh’s from the fans inside BHS’s main gymnasium.
Overall, Brady was 8-of-13 from beyond the 3-point arc, a sizzling 62 percent. She made 10-of-17 field goals overall (59 percent). She also pulled down seven rebounds and swiped three steals.
“She got us rolling tonight,” Brady said. “They were in a zone, and Courtney started knocking down shots, which loosened up their defense.”
Then the Lady Rabbits were able to penetrate to the basket at the elbow, and other players became involved in the offense.

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.
