1A schools compete at district track meet
The area 1A schools competed in the district track meet on Wednesday at Bowie that lasted all day.
In the end several athletes from each of the schools did well enough to qualify for the area meet by finishing in the top four in their individual events.
As a team and program, it was Saint Jo’s day as both boy and girl teams won the team title. The boy’s team was quite a bit ahead of second place Slidell earning 207 compared to 149 points.
The girl’s team just edged out the Lady Greyhounds 145 to 139 to earn its title.
On the girl’s side, Forestburg finished third overall with 89 points. Gold-Burg was next with 71 points in fourth place, only a few points more than fifth place Prairie Valley with 63 points. Bellevue finished one point ahead of Midway with 43 points to get sixth place.
On the boy’s side, Gold-Burg (88) finished only half a point ahead of Forestburg (87.5) as the two finished third and fourth overall. Prairie Valley finished sixth with 39.5 points while Bellevue finished seventh with six points.

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.
