Lady Panthers start season 2-0
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers officially started their season on Monday with games against Vernon Northside and Perrin-Whitt.
The Lady Panthers have big expectations this year and started the season strong with straight set win against each.
Saint Jo first played the Lady Pirates in the morning and after a 10-10 draw in the first set, got out to an 18-12 lead. From there the Lady Panthers closed out the set to win 25-15.
The second set was not as close. After getting out to a 10-5 lead, Perrin-Whitt did close the gap to 11-9, but Saint Jo ran away with it after that point, winning 25-13.
The third set saw the Lady Panthers jump out to an 11-4 lead. The Lady Pirates played more competitive the rest of the way, but Saint Jo won easily 25-15 to close out the match.
The second match was played later after lunch against the Lady Indians. The Lady Panthers won the first set 25-12. The second set was the most competitive one of the day for Saint Jo, but the team beat Northside 25-18.
That loss carried over into the third set as once things started going right for the Lady Panthers, the Lady Indians lost their spirits.
Saint Jo won the third set in the most lopsided score of the day 25-9 to win the match.

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.
