The Bowie High School bass fishing team will compete in the Texas High School Bass Association West Division meet at Lake Ray Roberts this Saturday.
The meet will begin at 8 a.m. at Ray Roberts Marina in Sanger.
There will be $10 boat captains’ side pot for big bass, but that will not count toward the amount of fish student anglers catch, and the fish must be kept separate from the students’ haul.
There will be boat check from 5-8 p.m. on March 20, and then check in will be from 5:30-7:30 a.m. on March 21.
The tournament features length limits on largemouth and smallmouth bass with a 14-inch minimum. No minimum length for Guadalupe or spotted bass.
The daily bag limit is five fish, and the culling of dead fish is not allowed.
Bowie will take several teams to the meet, including Lane Hopson and Hadley Morgan.
Kollin Gillaspia and Jake Rhyne will continue to team up.
Other teams are Stetson Gaines and Brandon McChesney, Spenser Meekins and Jared Stone and Mitch Sanders will be a one-person team.
Bowie had a rough meet earlier this month at Lewisville Lake, and no teams caught any fish.
Currently, Bowie sits in 10th in the West Division Team of the Year standings. The Rabbits have 235 points, 2.5 points behind Aledo and one ahead of Sanger.
Hopson and Morgan are eighth in the team of the year standings, with 715.5 points, just 15 points outside of sixth place. Sanders and Kamry Weber is 19th overall, Gillaspia and Rhyne are 27th, Meekins and Stone are 44th and Brandon McChesney and Stetson Gaines are 45th.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.

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 2^nd 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 8^th 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 2^nd 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.
