Golf season ramps up next week for the Bowie High School boys’ and girls’ golf teams as they play host to their own tournaments.
The girls’ tournament is set for 9 a.m. on Monday, with the boys’ event set for the same time on Wednesday at Twisted Oaks Golf Club.
Players will receive a meal deal, and this is an 18-hole formatted tournament, but players will deal with differing tee boxes during each nine holes.
“We have most everybody back on the boys’ side,” Bowie head golf coach Jonathan Horton said. “And Chloe Polk qualified for the regional tournament.”
Horton said the players have enjoyed recent good weather – getting plenty of practice time at Twisted Oaks.
So, what will make Twisted Oaks such a challenge?
“It’s the trees,” Horton said. “You have to squeeze shots down the fairways. You have to place your shots. You can’t just swing away.”
Horton said he’s looking forward to seeing how the players adjust to Twisted Oaks’ redesign as the course has been reduced from 18 holes to nine holes. Read more, and see the season schedule, in the March 5 Bowie News.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
