Bowie High School head baseball coach Ryan Rogers said the Jackrabbits didn’t lose confidence during Tuesday’s District 3A-9 game versus Paradise.
That’s despite Bowie being down in a 2-0 hole heading into the bottom of the sixth inning.
“We still felt like we would come back and win the game,” Rogers said. “The kids trusted the process.”
In the end, Bowie rallied for a 3-2 conquest over Paradise, sending Jackrabbit players onto the field for a victorious pile.
Bowie, ranked in the top-20 in the state in various polls, won when Vernon College-signee Coby Bentley smacked an opposite-field double to drive home Chandler Dean.
“Coby came up with the big hit for us,” Rogers said. “It’s something we see from him every day in practice.”
The Jackrabbits improved to 13-1-2 before Friday’s game against Henrietta. They will play Holliday on Tuesday here in Bowie.
Rogers was pleased to see Bowie put pressure on Paradise right away in the bottom of the seventh.
With one out, Barrett Brooks walked. Read more in the weekend Bowie News, including the complete box score.

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.
