Bowie JH cheer win camp awards
The Bowie Junior High cheerleading team completed its four-day cheer camp week last week and came home with all of the awards according to sponsor/coach Lindsey Childs.
The team traveled to Tarleton State University on June 19-22 to participate in the National Cheerleading Association Camp.
As a team, it won three superior blue ribbons, the Herkie Team Award (given out each night after evaluation which other teams vote on), the St. Jude certificate and Stunts S.A.F.E. certificate.
The team also won the top chant and cheer trophies in the junior high division. The team won four spirit sticks, including bringing one back to Bowie for the most sincere spirit and enthusiasm for each day, while taking into account attitude during classes, promptness, cooperation, relationships with other teams and leadership.
On top of everything, the squad also earned its National Federation of State High School Associations credentials and a bid for the NCA National Events.
Individually the team had nine members earn All-American nominations: Ayslie Makings, Lillie Maddox, Sophie Maddox, Macie Martin, Aowyn Word, Taelyn Webb, Mylee Lee, Emma Lynch and Giahna Cantu.
In the end, Lillie Maddox was named to the All-American cheer team. Makings was as well as a mascot while also earning two excellent red ribbons and one superior blue ribbon.
Bowie High School cheer sponsor/coach Destanie Curry, who was there to help Childs at camp, ended up winning the Congeniality Coach award, selected from approximately 50 coaches at the camp.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.

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.
