Bowie volleyball loses tough game to Boyd
The Bowie Lady Rabbits did not have a good showing on Tuesday when they hosted state-ranked Boyd.
The Lady Yellowjackets stung the Lady Rabbits, beating them in straight sets in a one-sided nature.
Bowie was coming off its first tournament at Burkburnett the previous week where the first tries of figuring out the team’s rotation saw the Lady Rabbits going 4-2 and finishing fourth overall.
Despite still trying to figure the lineup out, Bowie was hoping it could give its first big test of the season, state-ranked Boyd, a challenge and maybe even go for the upset with the home crowd behind them.
That never happened.
The Lady Rabbits fell behind in the first set and once the Yellowjackets lead grew from 6-4 to 10-5 there was no looking back. Boyd won 25-13 to win the first set.
The second set was more of the same. The Yellowjackets went on a 14-1 run to go up 19-6 at one point as Bowie was struggling to get anything positive going.
The Lady Rabbits showed some life, going 8-2 during the next 10 points to cut the lead to 21-14. Even though Bowie came up short of pulling off the big come back, the team still made the final set score 25-20 respectable.
Unfortunately, the Lady Rabbits could not carry that momentum into the next set for long. With Bowie leading 8-7 after a competitive start to set three, Boyd would win almost every point for the rest of it. The Lady Rabbits were frustrated by the end as they lost 25-8 and the match 3-0.
Olivia Gill led the team with seven kills, while four other players each had two kills. Kinley Russell had a team high 11 assists.
On defense, Melenie Cantu had a team high 10 digs while Hanna Bell and Ella Richey each had two blocks.

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.
