If there was a football team that needed a win on Friday, it would be Forestburg.
The Longhorns used a bottleneck defense spearheaded by Bear Osteen, and J.D. Moore totaled more than 200 all-purpose yards as Forestburg trounced Savoy 53-8.
Stevie Carroll caught a 30-yard pass from J.D. Moore at the 7:07-mark of the opening quarter, and that play sparked the Longhorn offense.
“Stevie has been a heck of a player for us since last year,” Forestburg head coach Wayne Tuckwell said. “He gives everything he has on every play.”
During the game, J.D. Moore rolled an ankle and Carroll was inserted as spread back for a few plays. The Longhorn offense didn’t skip a beat. Carroll also was named Homecoming King before the game.
With so much focus going to Osteen as a wide receiver, that allowed Carroll to make more plays in the passing game. Carroll caught three passes for 72 yards and two TD.
Forestburg needed the win in many ways. This has been an arduous season for Tuckwell, who has been spending plenty of time in Houston tending to family matters. The Longhorns also have played one of the toughest schedules in the entire state.
“It was nice to put everything together, and it was good for the boys to get a win,” Tuckwell said. Read more, and see standings, in the Oct. 5 Bowie News.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.

Imotichey, an assistant coach on the 2025 Forestburg volleyball team, was moved into the head coaching position. Last year’s coach, Cori Hayes, took over as football head coach.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.

The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.

Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.

Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.

Sage Keck, an 8^th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.

She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.

Her success continued, as she finished 2^nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
