Monday morning, school administrators and athletic directors met at the Region 9 Education Center in Wichita Falls.
They received packets containing information concerning University Interscholastic League realignment, and there are some changes that will impact area teams.
This alignment will be in place for the next two academic calendar years (2016-18).
“We felt like the district was going to remain the same, and it’s not a surprise we went to Region I,” said Bowie Independent School District superintendent Steven Monkres.
With a move to Region I, Bowie is now much more likely to compete in playoff games at destinations such as Lubbock and Odessa.
Bowie’s football opponents remain the same in the district; however, the teams will shift from Region II to Region I in basketball, which serves primarily west Texas.
Forestburg head coach Wayne Tuckwell said he didn’t expect the Longhorns to be placed in a five-team district. Read more, and see complete alignments, in the Feb. 3 Bowie News.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.

The Chisholm Trail Youth Rodeo had its awards ceremony this week, giving out plaques and buckles to the top competitors throughout the summer season.
There were four age categories with five events to compete in for the young athletes.
Along with the best results in each event, at the end the overall best cowboy and cowgirl in each age division was awarded as well.
The lead line division, in which an adult helps the young competitors, saw Rylee Stewart win the first in poles, barrel racing and mystery event on her way to win top cowgirl.
Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
In the 9-12 age division, Sage Keck won the top cowgirl while Chisum Carpenter won the top cowboy. Keck got the fastest times in four of the five divisions. Only Layna Taylor getting the fastest goat time prevented her from winning in a clean sweep.
In the 13-18 age division, Tess Egenbacher won the top overall cowgirl award.
Kiley McCracken won both the barrel racing and flags event. Emma Strahan won the poles and mystery event. Hadlee Bryan won the goats event.
