For the third-time ever, Bowie will have a father-son combination in the prestigious Hall of Honor.
Ronald Rhoades, a four-sport athlete at Bowie High School during the 1970s, and his son, Chad, are set for induction.
There will be a reception in the Rhoades’ honor at 5:45 a.m. on Friday in the Bowie High School Commons. There will be refreshments, including homemade pies from Sweet Boys Diner.
The men will be honored and recognized before the District 2-3A-I football game between Bowie and Breckenridge at Jackrabbit Stadium.
“It’s something I never dreamed of when Craig (Stallcup, voting member of the Hall of Honor committee) called me,” Ronald Rhoades said. “I made all-state in football, but I didn’t known if it was good enough for the Hall of Honor.”
Making the occasion more special for Ronald Rhoades is the fact he will be inducted with his son, Chad, who was recently promoted within the Miami Marlins’ organization.
“It’s something I will cherish forever,” Ronald said.
Like his father, Chad Rhoades said his induction was “completely unexpected.”
“I have more appreciation for this since my dad and I are going in side by side,” Chad said, “and acknowledge what he did.” Read more in the Oct. 12 Bowie News.

The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.

Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.

Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.

Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.

He originally had never planned on coaching golf.

“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
