The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team opened the District 3A-8 slate in a literal Yellow Jackets’ nest.
But, this year, Bowie wrote a different tale as the Lady Rabbits outscored Boyd 19-5 in the third quarter en route to a 58-36 victory.
Bowie, ranked No. 9 in the Texas Girls Coaches Association Conference 3A poll, improved to 12-1 on the season heading into Friday’s road tilt at Paradise – a game with the top-two contenders in the district squaring off.
“Anytime you win in district, it’s a good win,” said Bowie coach Chuck Hall. “That puts you in the top half.”
Hall noted the third quarter proved to be the difference maker.
“We forced them into some turnovers, and we got some easy baskets,” the coach commented. “We started playing the passing lanes better, and we picked off their passes.”
In turn, Bowie was able to push the ball in the transition game, and the Lady Rabbits finished with 13 assists overall. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the Dec. 17 Bowie News.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.
Trinadee Imotichey is trying to do just that with her Forestburg Lady Longhorns.
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.
Imotichey, in her 2nd year in Forestburg, said she learned a lot from Hayes and is ready to take over.

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 8th 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 2nd 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.
