Signing ceremonies are becoming a regular routine for the Bowie High School baseball team.
Bowie’s Dylan Slade became the latest athlete in putting pen to paper, signing a letter of intent to play next year at Rose State College.
“We are looking at Dylan at first base and we are very excited about his upside as a hitter for us,” Rose State head baseball coach Coty Cooper said in an email to the Bowie News.
Rose State is a community college located in Midwest City, Okla., with an enrollment of nearly 13,000 students. The Raiders play in the Bi-State Conference with the likes of Eastern Oklahoma, Seminole State, Northeastern Oklahoma A&M and Connors State.
This past Wednesday, Rose State and North Central Texas College split a non-league doubleheader. The Raiders are currently sporting a record of 10-13.
“Financially, it’s a big thing for me to go to Rose State,” said Slade, who plans on taking general education courses en route to a future in business administration. “The program is not too far from home.”
Rose State is roughly 10 miles from downtown Oklahoma City. Read the weekend Bowie News for more.

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.
