Nathan Winn has been hired to round out the Bowie High School boys’ basketball coaching staff.
And that should be a familiar name for locals.
Winn is a 2006 graduate from Bowie, and he was a three-sport athlete in football, basketball and golf.
“Basketball was my strongest sport, by far,” said Winn, the son of Shelley Winn and the late Ted Winn, Montague County judge when he died.
In addition to basketball, Winn will serve as wide receivers coach on the high school football team and teach physical education at the junior high level.
Winn said he’s eager to be a part of Bowie basketball, with Doug Boxell preparing for his fourth season piloting the Jackrabbits.
“I’m looking forward to this exciting opportunity,” Winn said. “He’s (Boxell) had a lot of success in his coaching career, and I want to learn from him.”
Winn said he missed the family atmosphere Bowie provides.
After graduating from Bowie, Winn earned a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from the University of North Texas, with a minor in health promotions.
During the 2012-13 academic year, Winn served as the head football and boys’ track and field coach at Forestburg. He was an assistant to boys’ basketball coach Steve Sandusky. Read more in the July 6 Bowie News.

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.

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.
