IN BRIEF: Red Sox activate RHP Workman
Former Bowie High School pitcher Brandon Workman, currently undergoing rehabilitation from Tommy John surgery, has been activated by the Boston Red Sox.
The Red Sox made the move, activating Workman from the 60-day disabled list, on Nov. 6.
The move returns Workman to the Red Sox 40-man roster.
It’s expected Workman will be out until around midseason as Brandon works his way back from the surgery.
Catcher Christian Vazquez, right-handed pitchers Clay Buchholz, Koji Uehara and Anthony Varvaro also were reinstated to the team.
The Red Sox roster now sits at 38 players.
Workman had Tommy John surgery to relieve right elbow strain in mid-June. This occurred after he received a platelet-rich plasma injection in hopes of avoiding the procedure. Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery in Pensacola, Fla.
Workman pitched a scoreless eighth inning of Boston’s World Series-clinching Game Six against the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2014, Workman was dismal at 1-10 with a 5.17 earned-run average in 19 appearances, including 15 starts.
Workman is a 2007 graduate of Bowie High School.

Bellevue’s girl’s basketball team led at halftime but a quick 9-0 Jacksboro run in the opening moments of the second half would prove the difference in a 28-25 Lady Eagle loss June 15 in a Nocona Summer League game.
Leading 12-9 at the half, Bellevue continued to shut down the inside game of the Tigerettes. Jacksboro switched tactics and began firing from outside. Three 3-pointers in the span of just under two minutes gave Jacksboro an 18-12 lead.
Bellevue kept things close, however, getting on the second half scoreboard with Mattie Broussard’s basket and free throws cutting the deficit to two, 18-16. A Haven Jones 3-pointer put the Lady Eagles up 19-18 midway through the second half.
The Tigerettes had just one 3 -pointer the rest of the way but got inside for a pair of buckets to take a 25-21 lead with 4:50 to go. Both offenses shut down late.

Most school-age athletes start off playing everything. By the time they graduate, they whittle it down to just one or two.
New Bowie girl’s track and overall cross country coach Shawnda Childers is no exception. While at Iowa Park she competed in volleyball, cross country and track before cutting out volleyball and focusing on track and cross country to close out high school.
Childers did not stay with athletics while moving on to Midwestern State University, where she received her bachelor’s and master’s Degrees. After graduation, shestarted coaching in Electra. She came to Bowie for one year, then went back to her old stomping grounds in Iowa Park where she spent the next four years.
The return home also put her in contact with now-Bowie Coach Griffin Fields, who was a coach there at the time. From Iowa Park, she spent the next three years at City View.

New Saint Jo Girl’s Basketball Coach Grant Gooch isn’t completely unfamiliar with the area.
“We went to Muenster quite a bit when I was a kid,” Gooch, who will be going into his 20th year as a coach, said. “We’d load up the cooler from the meat markets. It’s good to be back.”
Gooch worked with Saint Jo Athletic Director CJ Hantz when the pair were in Throckmorton. Gooch comes to town from Menard where he spent three years at the West Texas school.
Gooch says coaching and education kind of come naturally to him.
