Bass Club has openings for upcoming season

In mid July the Red River High School Bass Club met to discuss the upcoming 2022-23 school year.
It was not only for the kids who will want to fish in the upcoming tournaments, but also adult boat captains who want sign-up as well.
A team is usually two youths and one boat captain. A team also can be just one youth fishing if the boat captain is a family member. If not, then there must be a boat observer.
People will need an email for the youth/captain/observer, but it can’t be the same one for more than one person, so people will have to make sure each person has an active email they check and can confirm via email and electronically sign their registration.
When registering as a school, the club is “Red River High School Bass Club.” The school is not in the system and to be registered in the club you have to choose the name.
This year the club is in the “West Division” that people also will have to select. There is a $60 fee per youth.
Tournaments for this school year include Possum Kingdom at Oct. 1, Hubbard Creek on Oct. 29, Granbury on Dec. 3, Brownwood on Feb. 18 and Whitney on March 11.
The regional tournament is scheduled for April 15 at Ray Roberts and the state meet at Sam Rayburn on May 20-21.

Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.

Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.

“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”

Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Nocona came into game two of its Class 2A Division I bi-district series with Archer City looking to rebound from a 17-0 loss in game one.

The Lady Indians took a quick lead but the Lady ‘Cats had too much in the tank and knocked Nocona out of the playoffs courtesy of a 13-3, five-inning victory winning the best of three series, 2-0.

Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.

Archer City prevented further damage by retiring the next two hitters. The Lady ‘Cats struck in the bottom of the inning for seven runs.

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.

Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.

After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.

Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
