HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL: Bowie stays hot, beats Henrietta

Bowie High School pitcher Cooper Cantwell pitched 6-2/3 strong innings.
Cantwell just needed Lawson Mickler to finish the job, and that’s exactly what Mickler did as Conference 3A seventh-ranked Bowie topped homestanding Henrietta 4-1 on Friday in District 3A-9 action.
“Coop threw a phenomenal game,” Bowie head baseball coach Ryan Rogers said. “He was throwing strikes. He was able to mix and match his pitches. He had great stuff and his velocity was the best I’ve ever seen.”
Bowie improved to 14-1-2 overall, 4-0 in District 3A-9. The Jackrabbits are tied with Holliday for the district lead, and those two teams faced each other Tuesday evening here in Bowie.
Cantwell fanned 10 Henrietta batters en route to the win, but he grew increasingly tired in the bottom of the seventh – especially after issuing a walk after a 12-pitch at-bat. That loaded the bases chock full of Bearcats.
Then Rogers called on Mickler, who has become perhaps the best relief pitcher in the district this season.
On four pitches, Mickler induced a Henrietta groundout to end the game. Read more, and see box scores, 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.
