The Bowie baseball team won in grand style in its District 3A-9 home opener.
Bowie, ranked 10th in Conference 3A by the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association, powered through what was a competitive game early for an 11-1 victory.
“City View came out swinging,” said head coach Ryan Rogers. “I was impressed with their at-bats.”
Chandler Dean opened the scoring in the bottom of the first, reaching home on an error by the City View pitcher.
However, the Mustangs answered back in the top of the third to tie the game.
Bowie would find their stroke in the bottom of the third, scoring five runs in both the third and fourth innings to power them to the win.
“It was really a matter of trying too hard,” said Rogers of the slow start. “But the kids did a good job of settling in.”
The Jackrabbits tripled four times, and Dean did it twice. Dean plated three runs.
Carter Shackelford, Dylan Slade and Bentley all crossed home twice. R.J. Oliver, Slade and Bentley all had two RBIs.
Cooper Cantwell earned the win on the mound for Bowie. Read more, and see the complete box score, 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 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.
