Boys lift at last regional qualifier meet
Boy powerlifters from Bowie, Nocona and Bellevue competed at Boyd on Feb. 20 in their final chance to qualify for the regional meet.
The Jackrabbits finished fourth overall as a team, Nocona finished seventh and Bellevue was tied for 10th place.
Bowie had five lifters finish in the top five in their weight class and score points toward the team total. One ended up winning his class.
Robert Zambrano won the 148 class with a total of 1,315 total pounds lifted.
Tyson Jordan and Tripp Brewer both got second in their weight classes, Jordan in the 198 pound and Brewer in the 220 pound. The final two athletes to score were Kaden Rutherford and Austin Komolosi who both got fourth place, Rutherford in the 114 class and Komolosi in the 165 class.
Unfortunately, Bowie had four lifters not complete all three of their lifts or bomb out.
Nocona only brought three of their lifters, but two of the three finished all three of their lifts and placed high enough to score points.
Kaedon Wallace won the 114 weight class as he lifted 690 total pounds. Teammate Omar Salinas finished second in the 123 class as he lifted 705 pounds.
For Bellevue, its two lifters completed their lifts, but neither were high enough to get into the top five in their weight class to score points.
Blake Reese finished eighth in the 181 class and Cam Blaylock finished 10th in the 220 pound weight class.
Bowie has six boys altogether along with one alternate that qualified: Tripp Brewer, Landyn Walker, Robert Zambrano, Jorge DeLeon, Tyson Jordan, Luis Covarrubias with Kaden Rutherford as an alternate. Nocona has three boys who qualified for the regional meet: Matthew Johnson, Omar Salinas and Kaeden Wallace.

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.
