Miller named new girls basketball coach at Bowie
The search for the next girl’s basketball coach at Bowie is over.
Matthew Miller was announced the program’s new head coach on Monday at the school board meeting.
Athletic Director Cory Mandrell said he got 11 applicants for the position, but feels like Miller is the type of coach he would want his daughter to be coached by.
Miller has been at Bowie since 2017 serving as an assistant coach in football and boy’s basketball. He is the last person from boy’s basketball team that won the state title in 2018 that is still at the school.
The last three years he has served as the head golf coach, with the boy’s team winning the district title two of the last three years and qualifying for the state tournament this past season for the first time in recent memory.
The girl’s golf team had low participation when he first took over, but through recruitment and hard work the team also won the district title this past year. He is still expected to serve as an assistant coach in football and be the golf coach.
Miller is a graduate from Bowie High School from 2004. He spent five years coaching at Nocona before spending three years as the head boy’s basketball coach at Era.
Miller was awarded the program’s Coach of the Year at this year’s sports banquet which was voted on by members of the booster club. His wife Sarah also coaches at Bowie as an assistant in volleyball and as the girl’s track coach.

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.

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.
