Borger native Shawn Holcomb was present at Twisted Oaks Golf Club in rural Bowie on Saturday afternoon to put on a golf clinic.
“It was a lot of fun to do that,” Holcomb said. “I got to see the kids, new faces, and show them long driving.”
Holcomb also participated in full round with the Bowie High School players who attended the session – Tessla Brewer, Sam Cole, Trent Parr and Jared Stone.
“Shawn was very personable and welcoming,” said Bowie head boys’ and girls’ golf coach Jonathon Horton. “He was able to get the kids excited about golf, and give them the motivation to play more.”
Bowie will open the season on March 6 at the Wichita Falls Invitational (Champions Course in Weeks Park).
Horton said Twisted Oaks PGA professional Ron Moxom is attempting to rebuild the youth golf program at the course, and that he’s off to a good start.
“Shawn and his dad, Dan, are good friends of mine,” Moxom said, “and they were happy to help the kids. This exhibition is just the start of our year at Twisted Oaks.”
Holcomb showed the golfers how to drive, including punch shots and low shots meant to cut into the wind – which does blow fiercely here in north Texas at times. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.

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 2^nd 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 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.
