HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS: Tough outing for area powerlifters
Three Bowie and two Nocona High School powerlifters competed in the Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting Association state meet.
Overall, 233 lifters from across the Lone Star State competed – indicating how tough it is to medal on the grand stage – at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi.
“The girls meet just keeps getting more competitive each year,” Bowie head coach Quentin Berend said. “More and more girls are getting involved and competing in powerlifting.”
Berend reported each weight class had about 20 girls.
“That made it hard to bring home medals,” the coach commented.
Bowie’s Hannah Shaw finished the best of all the area powerlifters.
Shaw placed 11th in the 148-pound division with a three-lift total of 750 pounds, which included a squat of 315 pounds. Mia Casas from Hebbronville was the winner (920 pounds).
Shelbi Rhoda placed 14th at 132 pounds with 705 pounds lifted, and that included a 300-pound dead lift. Sierra Paredez from San Angelo Grape Creek was tops, lifting 840 pounds. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.

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.
