Bowie
The Bowie Lady Rabbits lost their final non-district game on Friday against the defending 2A state champs Windthorst.
The Lady Trojans won in straight sets against the Lady Rabbits.
Bowie did not start the match great, losing the first set ugly 25-11. After that, the Lady Rabbits played the rest of the match much better.
Unfortunately, while Bowie was able to make the next two sets competitive, the team could not get control and was playing catch-up for most of it.
Windthorst won sets two and three with the scores 25-22 and 25-21.
It was another tough loss for the Lady Rabbits as the team has struggled during their non-district schedule. While the results have not been there, Coach Ashley Sanders is confident her team has been showing improvement and needs to play a more complete match from start to finish.

Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians won a close game in straight sets against Anna on Friday night.
The Lady Indians beat the tough 4A team, coming out on top in two sets that went down to the wire.
Nocona won the first set 25-22 and then the second set 26-24 against the Lady Coyotes.
Not wanting to give Anna any hope of coming back, a strong start to set three sent the Lady Coyotes scrambling as the Lady Indians won easily 25-12.
Bren Fenoglio led the team with three blocks while Aubree Kleinhans had a team high 17 digs and Ava Johnson was second with 11 digs.
Skyler Smith led the team in assists (19), service aces (four) and tied with Meg Meekins with 15 kills each. Meekins was also second with 15 assists, two service aces and two blocks.

Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers fell to a tough, state-ranked Harrold team on Friday on the road.
The Lady Hornets won 3-1 as Saint Jo continues to get challenged during its tougher non-district schedule this season.
Harrold won the first two sets 25-18 each to go up 2-0. The Lady Panthers fought back in set three to pull out a close 25-23 win to keep the match going. Unfortunately, Saint Jo could not pull it off in set four, losing 25-20 as the final score was 3-1.
Coach Kelly Skidmore thought trying to play around the Lady Hornets big middle-blocker was tough as any over passes were easy picking for her at the net.

Forestburg
The Forestburg Lady Horns won a fun match on the road on Saturday at Chillicothe.
The Lady Horns won a competitive match from start to finish, but also got it done in straight sets.
Forestburg won with set scores being 25-18, 25-21 and 27-25.
Coach Kayla First thought her team had some miscommunications that caused them to fall behind in the first set. After coming back, the team played good defense and made smart decisions on offense for the rest of the match.

Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears lost a tough match against Electra on Saturday.
The Lady Tigers won in straight sets as the Lady Bears offense struggled to execute.
Electra won 25-8, 25-11 and 25-9. Coach Cheryl Cromleigh thought her defense covered well, but it was not enough to cover all of the other mistakes the team made.
“We are a very young team in rebuild mode, we will get there,” Cromleigh said. “We are having to run a 5-1 with one setter at the moment and I am seeing lots of improvement there. The girls continue to fight and I am praying for that breakthrough.”

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

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.

Lady Rabbit SB beats Bridgeport

Published

on

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.
