Like in the boys’ game, the third quarter told the story in the girls’ contest between Nocona and Henrietta.

Both teams were deadlocked at 21-all at intermission, but the Lady Indians outscored the Lady Bearcats 15-7 in the third quarter to take control of the proceedings.

“We were able to hit some shots right off the bat,” Nocona head girls’ basketball coach Bradley McGann said.

Nocona improved to 11-16, 4-9 in District 3A-9, with one game left to play on Tuesday at Boyd.

“The girls played with a lot of pride,” McGann said. “This win was important because it will hopefully help us build a little momentum and positive energy heading into spring ball.”

This marked the final home game for seniors Victoria Fatheree, Makenzie Breeze and Kolbi Klein.

Fatheree capped off her home playing career with a double-double, scoring 16 points and pulling down 12 rebounds. Makenzie Franklin also scored in double digits with 14 points.

The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.

Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.

Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

Stewart becoming new BHS golf coach

Published

New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.

Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.

He originally had never planned on coaching golf.

“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
