The Bellevue Lady Eagles traveled to the campus of North Central Texas College in Gainesville Friday to take on Dodd City in the area round of the Class 1A playoffs.
However Bellevue’s season came to an end as Dodd City proved to be too much, with the Lady Hornets prevailing 82-29.
Dodd City opened the game on a 10-0 scoring run, and never looked back.
They would gain a 23-5 edge after one. The Lady Eagles improved on scoring in the second and third quarters, scoring 10 in both. However, Dodd City totaled 45 points combined during those frames.
Eleven of Bellevue’s 29 points in the game were scored from the free-throw line. Bellevue netted just two 3-pointers as the Lady Eagles struggled to put the ball in the basket.
Hannah McWilliams led the Lady Eagles with 12 points, and Devon Cassetty added 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.
