Bowie High School will send nine players to the Conference 3A regional meet set for April 20-21 at Tyler Junior College in Tyler.
This was by virtue of the Rabbits’ performance in the District 3A-9 tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday at BHS Tennis Courts.
Katelin Price defeated a player from Holliday Hannah Todd to garner the girls’ singles. Todd won a playback on Thursday morning for second place.
“I was very pleased with them all,” Bowie head boys’ and girls’ tennis coach David Hall said. “Our boys are young. The girls did an outstanding job. It was an exciting two days. We did well, and I am happy for them.”
Hall said it was Price’s court sense and ability to move the ball around that secured the top spot.
The coach also was complimentary of the Rabbits’ doubles teams as the team of Meagan Russell and Myah Russell earned first place.
The Russells defeated teammates Veronica Hernandez and Stephanie Crawford for the top spot. But, both Hernandez and Crawford also are advancing to the regional tournament.
“The Russell girls are always putting in extra time at the courts,” Hall said.
Hall said Bowie’s mixed doubles tandem consisting of Maria Gonzalez and Cameron Gunter are very athletic, and that’s why the pair won. Gonzalez and Gunter defeated a team from Henrietta.
Gunter devoted this season to tennis, and it’s paid off. Read more in the weekend 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 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.
