Jim Bowie Days rodeo entertains
The Jim Bowie Days rodeo entertained big crowds on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night at Bowie rodeo arena.
Put on by the United Professional Rodeo Association and stock from TNT Rodeo, the three nights of action gave the people of Bowie and the surrounding areas something to do as the sun started setting late in June.
Professional and amateur riders from near and fare competed, with only the best times coming away with the top prize money.
In bareback riding, Tyler Griffin won with a ride score 75.5.
Ranch bronc riding was won by Tucker Scott who scored 78 and saddle bronc was won by Jarrod Hammons who scored an 80.5.
Karen Little won the breakaway roping with a time of 2.37 seconds and Kylee Scribner won the barrel racing with a time of 15.195 seconds.
Colton Leech won steer wrestling with a time of 4.9 seconds while Briar White won the tie-down-roping with a time of 8.13 seconds.
Team roping had two teams take home the first place money as both Dale Martin/Cooper Vandiver and J.T. Prather/Tucker Menz each finished with a time of 4.9 seconds.
The finish each night was the bull riding which Qynn Anderson won with a score of 83.
Full results from the UPRA website are listed in the mid-week edition of the Bowie News.
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.
