HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Second-quarter sizzle for Bowie girls

The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team scored a whopping 26 points in the second quarter of Wednesday’s Conference 3A regional quarterfinal at Denton High School.
That helped the Lady Rabbits establish a 40-21 halftime cushion en route to a 63-38 victory over Pottsboro.
“We were able to knock down some shots,” Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek said. “We shot the ball well in that quarter.”
Bowie certainly fired on all cylinders in that quarter, and Henslee Ogle played a big part in what happened during that second salvo.
Ogle knocked down a 3-pointer from the baseline.
While Pottsboro tried to inbound the ball for its next possession, Courtney Brady registered a steal and sent the ball to Ogle, who drew the foul.
In turn, Ogle swished both foul shots.
It was all part of an 11-0 Lady Rabbits’ run in which Brady drilled a 3-pointer from the wing and Brittney Pound – Bowie’s leading scorer with 18 points – canned a 3-pointer from the baseline.

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.
