While the Bowie boy’s golf team qualified for the state tournament, several other area teams and athletes competed last week at the regional tournament.
The Bowie girl’s team finished ninth while Prairie Valley and Bellevue girl teams placed ninth and 10th.

The Prairie Valley and Bellevue girl teams played at the Mount Pleasant Country Club.
The first day scores were not as good as usual, but conditions were much improved on day two. The Lady Bulldogs improved their score by 51 strokes to jump ahead of the Lady Eagles, who posted nearly identical scores on both days.
Prairie Valley was led by Linzie Priddy who shot 131-115 for a 246 total. Avaree Woodyard shot 139-121 for a 260 total. Renee Stout shot 138-131 for a 269 total. Abbie Pepper shot 143-134 to combine for 277.

There were two individual boy players who competed at regionals.
From Nocona, Johnny Stone played at the Old Brickyard course in Ferris.
The conditions on day one were good, but rain and wind affected his scores a bit on day two. He shot 84-92 for a total of 176.
From Saint Jo, Julian Luna competed in the boy’s tournament at Mount Pleasant. He shot 116-113 for a total of 229.
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.
