Bowie boys golf finish 14th at big tournament in Glen Rose
The Bowie Jackrabbits boy’s golf team 1 competed with some of the best 4A-6A teams in the state at the Squaw Valley course in Glen Rose on March 1-2.
Despite competing against mostly larger schools, the Jackrabbits finished 14th overall out of 30 teams at the tournament.
With Bowie trying to make it back to state after a third place finish, Coach Matthew Miller wants to push this team by competing in tougher tournaments and courses this season.
“I knew going to that tournament we had to play the very best we are capable of just to medal,” Miller said. “There’s a method to the madness. I want to push these guys against better people and better golf courses. The mental part is such a big side of the game and we are getting to see people who can play and we have to learn not to be intimidated by that.”
Both days the conditions were excellent according to Miller and while the team scores were consistent each day, 324 the first day and 322 the second day, some players individual scores were up and down.
Zac Harris had the lowest scores overall, shooting 76-79. Cy Egenbacher was next shooting 83-76.
Hunter Lea and Hunter Fluitt had vastly different days.
Lea shot 77-87 while Fluitt shot 88-80 during the two rounds.
Rayder Mann shot 90-94 both days, but his scores did not count towards the team total as it only calculates the team’s lowest four scores each day.
Andrew Sandhoff competed individually as a medalist, with his scores not counting towards the team’s total, and did well, shooting 79-82.

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.
