The Bowie High School baseball team put a pretty bow on top of the regular season on Friday with a 20-0 lynching of District 3A-9 foe Boyd.
The Jackrabbits are currently preparing for the Conference 3A Bi-District playoffs set to begin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday with Game One of a best-of-3 series versus Whitesboro at Sanger.
“They are a scrappy team,” Bowie head baseball coach Ryan Rogers said. “They have guys in their line-up that can hurt you, and three good pitchers including a lefty.”
Depending upon weather, Game One may be moved to Bowie for Friday evening.
Game Two will take place at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Krum. If Game Three is necessary, it will follow 30 minutes after completion of the second game.
Bowie (24-1-2) is in a privileged position, returning to the playoffs this season. Last year, the Jackrabbits lost in the opening round to Cisco.
“You can’t take this for granted,” Rogers said. “It was great to win district. It has put us in position to make a little run. It’s an honor.”
Rogers said there are plenty of teams that will challenge Bowie in the postseason.
Should the Jackrabbits defeat Whitesboro, it would play either Peaster or Palmer in the Area round. State-ranked Gunter is a possible third-round match-up. Read more, and see the complete box score from last Friday’s victory over Boyd, in the mid-week 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.
