Bellevue High School seniors Broc Terry and Hannah McWilliams were the major winners during Friday’s athletic banquet.
U.S. Army Recruiter Mark P. Penecios made a presentation at the banquet naming both Terry and McWilliams as National Scholar-Athletes.
It was just part of a glory-filled night for the Eagles and Lady Eagles.
McWilliams also was given the Eagle Award, along with Michael Hanson for the boys. The Eagle Award is given to an athlete that participates in at least three sports, excels in the classroom and shows leadership skills at school.
Bellevue had a successful year in a myriad of sports ranging from cross country to basketball and tennis, and it was all celebrated at the banquet.
The Bellevue boys’ golf team comprised of Hunter Fuller, Dylan Throckmorton, Colin Kollman and Hanson were honored their accomplishments, which included a second-place finish at the District 1A-21 meet in rural Nocona.
In girls’ cross country, Bellevue’s Devon Cassetty was the District 1A-21 winner and the team qualified for the regional meet in Grand Prairie. Cassetty was named the most valuable runner.
Head girls’ athletics coach Bryan Goehring honored the girls’ basketball team, which went 15-17 overall but 10-4 in district play. The Lady Eagles won a bi-district championship over Trinidad.

Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.

Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.

“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”

Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Nocona came into game two of its Class 2A Division I bi-district series with Archer City looking to rebound from a 17-0 loss in game one.

The Lady Indians took a quick lead but the Lady ‘Cats had too much in the tank and knocked Nocona out of the playoffs courtesy of a 13-3, five-inning victory winning the best of three series, 2-0.

Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.

Archer City prevented further damage by retiring the next two hitters. The Lady ‘Cats struck in the bottom of the inning for seven runs.

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.

Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.

After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.

Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
