For Forestburg High School head boys’ basketball coach Steve Sandusky, he was happy to escape Prairie Valley with a District 1A-21 victory.
“You could tell Prairie Valley had been practicing a lot,” Sandusky said. “They shot the ball well, and I think they could be contenders if they stay together.”
Meanwhile, Prairie Valley head coach Zac Tabor savored his first taste of piloting the Bulldogs in the setting of district play.
“It was an intense game,” Tabor said. “It was a lot slower pace than I would have liked it to be. It was a grind-it-out kind of game. They are so long, athletic and tough inside.”
In the end, Forestburg claimed a 54-45 victory over Prairie Valley.
The Longhorns and Bulldogs played diametric opposites in this game. Forestburg finished with a 19-6 edge in free-throw attempts. Meanwhile, Prairie Valley connected on seven 3-pointers.
Forestburg and Prairie Valley were deadlocked at 35-all heading into the fourth quarter, when the Longhorns outscored the Bulldogs 19-10.
Perimeter shots that had fallen for Prairie Valley through the first three periods didn’t in the fourth, and Forestburg drew fouls for trips to the free-throw stripe. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the Dec. 24 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 2^nd 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 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.
