OUTDOORS: Fish art contest underway
The 2015 Texas State Fish Art contest is underway and the deadline for submissions is March 31.
The contest is open to public, private and homeschooled students in all grades from kindergarten through senior in high school.
Students must draw or paint any recognized state fish and write an essay about it. Complete contest details and entry forms are available at: www.tpwd.texas.gov/fishart.
The Toyota Texas Bass Classic provides funds for first-, second- and third-place finishers in each of the four grade-level divisions.
First place in grades 10-12 is $1,000, $750 for second and $500 for third. Prizes for K-9 levels are $100 for first place, $75 for second and $50 for third.
Student art then is featured on Toyota Texas Bass Classic printed tickets, which will take place on Lake Fork in May 2015.
The TTBC also provides a travel allowance for Texas first-place winners to attend the national awards ceremony on Aug. 21-22 in Hot Springs, Ark.
The Texas State-Fish Art Contest is part of Wildlife Forever’s State-Fish Art Contest.
Educators who wish to have their students enter the contest can download the free “State Fish Art Contest Lesson Plan” at www.statefishart.com. The curriculum includes species identification profiling each fish, a glossary and worksheets.

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.
