The Forestburg High School boys’ and girls’ basketball teams continued their push to the playoffs against rival Saint Jo Tuesday in District 1A-21 play.
The Lady Horns swamped Saint Jo, 53-13, while the Forestburg boys defeated the Panthers 36-33. Even with the loss, Saint Jo’s boys still have a chance to qualify for the postseason.
“We played a strong game,” said Lady Horns coach Rosana Barbosa. “We played a solid defense keeping them in single digits.”
The most points Forestburg’s defense allowed in the game was a seven-point fourth-quarter effort from Saint Jo. The Lady Horns held the Lady Panthers without a point in the second quarter, outscoring them 18-0 for a 31-4 halftime cushion.
“Our offense worked well because of the solid defense,” said Barbosa.
Sixteen of Forestburg’s points were courtesy of their fast break while 12 originated from offensive rebounds.
Makayla Mason and Alexia Britain both paced the Lady Horns with 14 points.

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.
