HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Miller Grove runs past Bellevue boys
The Miller Grove High School boys’ basketball team established a 23-6 lead by the end of one quarter.
It proved to be too much of a task for Bellevue to come back as Miller Grove defeated the Eagles 66-51 in a Conference 1A regional quarterfinal on Tuesday at McKinney North High School.
“They went out fast and hard on us,” Bellevue head coach Colby Broussard said. “That made it tough for us to catch up.”
Broussard said Miller Grove shot the ball and moved it around crisply on offense to set up its scoring.
Miller Grove maintained pretty much a double-digit lead throughout the rest of the contest.
The Eagles attempted to press in the second half, but had trouble with that because players were in foul trouble.
Bellevue finished the game with all five of its seniors on the court – Jeremiah Cobbs, Emilio Mendoza, Kyle Waller, Colin Kollman and Broc Terry.
“We didn’t play well, and that’s why we’re at home,” Broussard added.
Bellevue completed the 2014-15 campaign with a 26-9 record.

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.
