HIGH SCHOOL GOLF: Ten advance to regional
Ten high school golfers qualified for the Conference 1A regional tournament set for next week at Legends Golf Course and Resort in Stephenville.
The entire Bellevue boys’ team has advanced by virtue on a second-place team finish during the District 1A-21 tournament at Nocona Hills Country Club on Monday.
The par-72 course plays at 6,529 yards for boys and men, and less for women and girls.
The Saint Jo girls’ squad also moved on because the Lady Panthers finished second as a team.
Forestburg’s Hope Phipps and Prairie Valley’s Robin Fenoglio also qualified as at-large selections.
On the boys’ side, Midway was the winner with a composite score of 481. Bellevue took second with a 488, and Prairie Valley was third (492).
Tioga was the top girls’ team, firing a 465 team score, 10 strokes better than second-place Saint Jo’s 475. Forestburg was third, carding a 483.
Mitchell Eldred, since he wasn’t part of Prairie Valley’s main team, finished short of qualifying for the regional meet despite shooting a 112 and finishing third.
Josiah DeLeon from Tioga was the boys’ medalist, shooting a 77. Kari Hughes, also from Tioga, had the best girls’ score with a 102. Read more, and see complete scores, in the weekend Bowie News.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.
The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.
Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.
Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.

Montague school 8th grader Sage Keck had a tremendous week in California at the USATF National Junior Olympics.
Keck qualified in three events there: the 800-meters, the 1,500-meters and the 3,000-meters over a five-day period. Keck opened by running in the 800-meter prelims, which she admits is her least favorite race. She admitted being “fresh and excited” for her first race and showed it by qualifying for the finals with a top 8 overall finish with a time of 2:21.76.
On July 30, she ran in the 1,500 prelims. Keck said she was seeded 12th out of the 16 competitors but wound up qualifying for the finals with a fourth- place finish in 4:48.38.
“I was just happy over that,” Keck said.”
