Bowie golf teams compete at Glen Rose, home course
The Bowie golf team competed in a multi-day tournament at the Squaw Valley Golf Course in Glen Rose last week, competing against schools as large as 6A.
The Lady Rabbits team finished 12th overall and the boy’s team finished 15th overall while competing in the Dinosaur Classic.
The girl’s team shot a consistent 388 and 389 the two days. Tess Egenbacher led the team shooting 89/92. Hanna Bell was second shooting 96/96. Miley Thompson shot 103/97.
Kendall Fallis shot well to the first day 100 to round out the team’s scoring, but shot 117 the second day and it was not included in the team’s score. Emma Read’s 110 score the first day did not count towards the team’s total, but her score the second day 104 did count.
The boy’s team shot a little better the second day overall, shooting 324 and 321 during the two days. Zac Harris led the team shooting, a team low 77 on both days. Hunter Lea was second shooting 80/81. Rayder Mann had a little more variance, but shot the same as Lea overall shooting 82/79.
Casen Airington’s first day score of 89 did not count towards the team’s total, but his second day score of 84 did. Hunter Fluitt’s score on day one of 85 went towards the team total, but his second day score of 89 did not.
Competing against some of the top programs in the state from mostly bigger schools, it was the tournament where Bowie gets pushed. With the program aiming for the state tournament the last several years, it is a good tournament early in the season to get the players out of their comfort zone.
That competition came on Monday and Tuesday when Bowie competed at the Lady Rabbit and Jackrabbit Invitational at the Top of Lake Golf Club and both teams won.
The girl’s team shot 365 overall. Egenbacher led the team shooting 85, good for third place individually. Thompson shot 92, Bell and Read shot 94 to round out the scoring.
Other Lady Rabbit players who played but whose scores did not affect the team’s score included Lillie Maddox who shot 98, Reegen Ferguson who 100, Molly Enlow and Fallis who shot 107.
The boy’s team shot 318 overall despite dealing with heavy winds on Tuesday throughout the whole day.
Lea led the team shooting 76. Harris and Mann followed shooting 79 and 80.
Fluitt’s 83 rounded out the team’s scoring. Belcher shot 88, but it did not count towards the team total.

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.

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.
