The Bowie High School baseball team remained two games clear of everyone else in District 3A-9 with an 11-0 victory over Nocona on Friday.
Cooper Cantwell pitched a five-inning scoreless game, and Nocona didn’t help themselves any committing six errors.
Bowie improved to 16-1-2, 6-0 in District 3A-9 while Nocona dropped to 6-7, 2-4.
Despite being under .500 in district play, Nocona still has plenty to play for this season.
“We’re not going to give up,” Nocona second-year head coach Brent Lewis said. “The kids have been working hard and putting in the time. Anything can happen.”
There are still eight district games remaining.
Meanwhile, Bowie has become the class of District 3A-9 with its pitching, timely hitting and solid defense.
“I thought we played well,” Bowie baseball coach Ryan Rogers said. “We scored four runs in the top of the first, and we were able to settle in. Then, we had the other big inning. We did what we needed to do. It was a good win for us.”
Bowie capped the game by turning what Rogers called “the best double play the team has turned all year.”

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 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.
