HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL: Bowie opens with split at Brock
The Bowie High School softball program opened the season with a split of games on Thursday at the Brock Tournament.
Bowie (1-1) suffered a 13-8 loss to host Brock in the morning, but the Rabbits turned around in the afternoon and rallied for an 11-9 win over Tolar.
In the loss to Brock, Braxton Deford had a couple of RBIs while Maylie Short took the loss on the mound. Hannah Shaw and Petie Wolsey both went 2-for-3.
Against Tolar, Shaw smacked the game-winning double to score Tristin Hopson and Petie Wolsey. Hopson and Wolsey both reached base earlier in the sixth on singles.
Ashlyn Vanwey, Tori Stockard and Shaw all finished with two RBIs. Short earned the win.
Bowie continued play in the Brock Tournament on Friday with games against Brownwood and Pilot Point. The Rabbits play two more games today against Midland Christian and Azle.

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.
