Bowie
The Bowie Lady Rabbits were able to pick up a game on Friday against Burkburnett despite initially having an opening in the schedule.
The Lady Bulldogs won in straight sets 3-0 against the Lady Rabbits.
The teams already played a couple of weeks back in late August. Then Burkburnett won in four sets.
On Friday, all three sets were competitive, but the Lady Bulldogs were able to win by a comfortable margin with the scores being 25-16, 25-18 and 25-15.
Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians lost a tough five-set match to last year’s 1A state runner-up Harrold at home on Friday.
The Lady Hornets won the back and forth match 3-2, with results changing wildly from set to set.
The Lady Indians were looking for a challenge against a program with state aspirations as well and were ready for the challenge.
Harrold won the first set commandingly 25-15. Nocona came back to win a slightly more competitive set 25-21 to tie the match at 1-1.
The Lady Hornets won the third set with little drama 25-18 to take the lead. The fourth set proved to be the closest of the match and could have gone either way.
The Lady Indians dug deep and won set four in extra points 27-25 to tie the match at 2-2 and force a fifth set.
Unfortunately, Nocona could not lean on the momentum from winning the fourth set. Harrold grabbed control and won 15-7.
The Lady Hornets won the match 3-2.

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.
