Close results at 4D barrel racing event
The first rodeo action of the Jim Bowie Days celebration was the 4D barrel racing event on Monday night.
There were four class divisions, with the top four riders in each division finishing with some money earned.
Overall, there were 92 different horses that raced, since some riders bring multiple horses.
KK Rule got the fastest time overall competing in the 1D class, finishing with a time of 16.261 seconds. It was .25 seconds faster than anyone else. She won $325 for finishing first and $429 overall since she also finished in the money in the 4D class as well.
In the 2D class, Amie Hennen won first place with a time of 16.761 seconds.
She beat out second place by only one thousandth of a second. She won $278 for placing first.
Maycee Sanford won the 3D class with a time of 17.287. Sanford also just edged out second place, this time by two one thousandths of a second. Sanford earned $186 for finishing first in the class.
Finally, Kim Tigert won the 4D class as she raced to a time of 17.761. Just like the previous winner in the 3D class, she just edged out second place by two one thousandths of a second. Tigert won $139 for getting first place.

The Red River High School Bass Club has officially wrapped up a competitive and rewarding fishing season, highlighted by a strong showing at the regional tournament on Possum Kingdom Lake and participation in the Texas High School Bass Association State Tournament on Lake Texoma.
Five teams from Red River qualified for the regional tournament, underscoring the continued growth and strength of the program. Those teams included Cooper Johnson and Colt Henry; Colten Anglin and Tayt Lawrence; Bryce DeMore and Ranger Carle; Lane Smith and Carson Caudle; and Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey.
Facing tough conditions at Possum Kingdom Lake, Red River anglers battled through a challenging bite against a large and competitive field. Leading the Red River were Walker Strahan and Bryce Ramsey, who placed 53rd overall with four fish weighing a total of 8.53 pounds. Lane Smith and Carson Caudle followed in 65th place, bringing in two fish totaling 7.18 pounds. While the standings did not reflect top finishes, the experience gained at regionals proved valuable for the young anglers, many of whom competed at this level for the first time.

New Bowie golf coach Remy Stewart may be new to the Rabbit golfers but definitely not to the sport.
Stewart, in his second year in Bowie, spent 11 years as golf coach in Farwell before coming here. He was powerlifting coach last year and insists one sports will not be prioritized over the other despite the pair each taking place in the early spring.
He originally had never planned on coaching golf.
“When I originally interviewed (in Farwell) it was for a football/basketball position but they also asked if I would be willing to coach golf,” Stewart said. “I said yes and the rest is history.”
