Saint Jo’s Sarah Patrick won the girls’ singles division with a 6-0, 6-2 victory over Adina Zidermanis from Slidell at the District 1A-21 meet last week in Denton.
In the girls’ doubles division, no local teams advanced. In the third-place match, Haley Nolan and Hope Phipps topped Kaylee Choate and Virginia Cody in this battle of doubles teams from Forestburg.
John Grunseich and Broc Terry from Bellevue advanced all the way to the boys’ doubles finals, before falling to Slidell’s Khristian Talamantes and Tyler Maynard. Slidell won 6-3, 6-4.
Prairie Valley’s Robin Fenoglio and Matt Suarez won mixed doubles in a three-set match by scores of 6-2, 1-6, 6-0, defeating Slidell’s Jessy Goode and Mason Maynard.
Bellevue was third among boys’ teams with 15 points, and Prairie Valley fourth with 10. Saint Jo scored 15 points in girls, with Forestburg and Prairie Valley tied for second with 10 each.

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.
