Bowie High School’s Chloe Polk wrapped up her scholastic golf career with a second-day 84 at the Conference 3A-Region II meet on Tuesday at Peachtree Golf Course in Bullard.
Polk was eight strokes better her second day; but, she finished five shots away from a berth in the state championship.
Overall, Polk put together a two-day total of 176, five behind what Howe’s Charlsey Carter was able to fire.
“She drove the ball well both days,” Bowie head golf coach Jonathon Horton said.
Horton said Polk cleaned up her putting on the second day, and that’s what helped Chloe score much better.
“I’m going to miss Chloe,” Horton added. “She just shot her lowest round ever with an 84.”
For girls and ladies, Peachtree plays as a par-68 covering 4,100 yards.

Class 1A Region III

At the Conference 1A Region 3 meet at Legends Golf Course, Saint Jo’s girls finished with a two-day total of 1,058.
Sarah Patrick was the Lady Panthers’ top golfer – shooting a 240. Ashley Reyling was next with a 272, followed by Kalei Prine (275), Sheridan Stiteler (277) and Caitlyn Holley (283).
“Sarah Patrick finished 19th as an individual, while freshman Kalei Prine, sophomore Caitlyn Holley and junior Sheridan Stiteler all logged personal-bests on their first round,” Saint Jo head coach Kate Clark said. “Overall, it was a great finish to a great season.” Read more in the April 16 Bowie News.

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.
