LOCAL: ‘Nest’ wins decorating contest
The Nest was selected as the winner of the Bowie Booster Club’s downtown decorating contest.
Meri Laws is owner and proprietor of “The Nest,” a home décor and gifts shop on Lindsay Street. Impartial judges selected the winner.
The booster club approved the purchase of new vests for the Bowie High School baseball team, as well as 84 new maroon and white caps.
The caps cost $2,268 and the vests, which will be worn by the varsity squad, cost $1,890.
In related uniform news this week, many of the Bowie boys’ cross country runners were wearing the recent purchase.
The booster club tabled the purchase of new basketballs as it waits for more information.
At the meeting, the Bowie volleyball team was introduced and Jeanie Stark was the “Meet the Coach” choice.
Booster club treasurer Jessica Gresham reported the concession stand made more than $3,000 in sales at the Homecoming game versus Holliday. A recent junior high football game netted more than $1,200 in additional money.
There will be special games coming up for football.
On Oct. 14 versus Breckenridge, it will be elementary school night and students will be provided a free ticket to the game. This also will be the “Pink Out” football game for breast cancer awareness.
The Oct. 28 game versus Paradise will be junior high night, with students receiving a free ticket. Read more in the Oct. 1 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.”
