Cooper Cantwell got the start for the Bowie Jackrabbits against Jacksboro Friday night.
He dazzled again, allowing only one run and one hit – both in the seventh inning – while striking out 10 and walking two, leading Bowie to a 5-1 win over the Tigers.
“Cooper was efficient on the mound,” said head coach Ryan Rogers. “He had command of the game all night.”
Bowie, ranked as high as sixth in Conference 3A in statewide polls, improved to 18-1-2, 8-0 in District 3A-9.
Cantwell, who threw strikes nearly 66 percent of the time in the win, got plenty of run support as well.
The Jackrabbits opened scoring in the bottom of the second inning as Dylan Slade tagged up and tapped home plate after a Trace Hardee RBI flyout. Slade opened the inning with a single to center field.
Kamry Weber later provided an RBI single to score Carter Shackelford, who drew a walk.
Bowie added three more runs in the bottom of the fourth, which was more than enough offense on this night. Read more, and see the complete box score, 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.
