Girls basketball district honors released
With the basketball season now over for all of the girl’s teams in the area, all-district selections have now been officially released.
The Bowie Lady Rabbits team had seven players earn honorable mention honors. The players were Ziba Robbins, Maycie Metzler, Allie Parr, Emily Cueva, Melenie Cantu, Kayliegh Crow and Ella Richey.
The Nocona Lady Indians won district and were the 2A state runners-up so they had plenty of honors to go around. Skyler Smith and Meg Meekins were the district’s co-most valuable players. Sadie Jacobs was the district’s newcomer of the year.
Reagan Phipps and Avery Crutsinger were named to the first team. Aubree Kleinhans and Jolie Rose were on the second team.

First team selections for the Lady Panthers were Kyler Dunn and Aubrey Morman. Second team honors went to Maxey Johnson and Jordyn O’Neal.
Forestburg was the district runners-up and got a couple of superlative awards. Brenna Briles was the district’s other co-MVP. Lili Cisneros was named the district’s newcomer of the year. Braylee Briles and Alli Cisneros were named to the district’s second team.
Bellevue squeaked into the playoffs and saw several players earn honors. Cirstin Allen was named the district’s sixth woman of the year, coming off the bench for the Lady Eagles.
Brylie Hager and Brittney Gill were given first team honors. Tristan Shook, Callie Martin and Mary Grace Broussard were named to the second team.

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.
