Bowie
The Bowie Lady Rabbits won on the road on Tuesday night, winning in Vernon to improve their district record to 3-2.
The Lady Rabbits won in straight sets, with two of the three being pretty competitive.
Bowie was coming off a tough loss at Holliday and needed to bounce back against the Lady Lions.
The first set was as competitive as it could be. The Lady Rabbits barely escaped with the win 25-23 to go up early in the match.
Following the big momentum swing of pulling out the close set, Bowie then went on to dominate in set two. Vernon never got anything going as the Lady Rabbits rolled over the Lady Lions 25-8 to go up 2-0.
Vernon woke up for the final set, not ready to roll over and give Bowie set three so easily. It was competitive and though not quite as dramatic as set one, the Lady Rabbits did have to execute at the end to close it out. Bowie won 25-20 to win the set and the match 3-0.
Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians won their ninth match in a row with a win on the road at Collinsville.
The Lady Indians won a tight match 3-1, with all but one of the sets being competitive.
Nocona had barely been challenged in the past several weeks, but the Lady Pirates offered a challenge.
The Lady Indians barely won sets one and four, winning by the smallest margin in both with the score being 26-24.
Collinsville did win set two 25-22 to initially tie the match up, also winning the first set off of Nocona in the last eight matches.
The Lady Indians bounced back strong to win set three in the most one-sided set of the match 25-15 before clutching things out in the final set to win.
Saint Jo vs Forestburg
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers won their second district match on Tuesday with a win against Forestburg.
The Lady Panthers won in straight sets against the Lady Horns. The set scores were 25-9, 25-14 and 25-14.
Saint Jo came in expecting to win as the team is planning another playoff run later this season. The win moves the Lady Panthers to 2-0 in district and into first place.

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.
