Rabbits earn big win
The Bowie High School football team christened the home turf Sept. 8 at Jackrabbit Stadium, where they rebounded off a tough loss in the season opener for a big 37-14 win over the Howe Bulldogs.
The Jackrabbits opened the season with a 44-0 loss to Aubrey Sept.1, but the Jackrabbits picked themselves up, dusted themselves off and got back to work.
“I’m really proud of the guys on Friday night,” said Bowie Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Dylan Stark. “They bounced back from a real tough game the first week and were able to get that first win. We are playing tough teams so every win we get is hard. I’m proud of how they responded from not a good game the week before.”
Bowie went neck-and-neck with the Bulldogs in the first quarter, who were first on the scoreboard after Ty Harvey scored with a pass from Cirby Coheley.
However, Bowie’s Matthew Wallace was the next to put points on the board, followed by an extra point from Dillon Swaim after a three-yard pass from Wallace, to put Bowie in the lead.
After that first score, the Jackrabbits were relentless, scoring 14 in the second and 15 in the third while the defense didn’t allow a single Bulldog touchdown until the fourth quarter.

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.
