Saint Jo entered the week in first place in the district, with no losses suffered in the first round of district play.
The Lady Panthers first hosted the Lady Bulldogs on Jan. 21 and easily the beat the undermanned team.
It was the type of game where the bench players played about as much as the starters in the end.
Payzlie Cervantes led the team with 17 points and seven steals while Jordyn O’Neal was second with 11 points. Taylor Patrick led the team with 11 rebounds and seven assists.
The next game against Midway was a bit more competitive, though the team’s unknowingly played with the wrong size ball for the first three quarters of the game. Thankfully, it did not matter much in the end results as Saint Jo won 48-31.
Cervantes led the team with 15 points and six steals while Aubrey Morman was second with 13 points.
Patrick had a team high nine rebounds.
Cervantes was able to celebrate after the game with her teammates as she scored her 1,500 career point.
Missing scores
Forestburg reported its scheduled game against Prairie Valley was cancelled for having too few players.
The Bowie News did not receive scores or any news from Prairie Valley and Bellevue coaches for last week’s games.
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.
