Barrel racing kicks off week full of rodeo action
The Jim Bowie Day’s 4D Barrel Racing was moved to Sunday this year and was split up into two sections throughout the day.
It was put on by Bizzy Bee Productions and had more than 160 rides through the barrels, with some competitors competing multiple times on different horses.
There were several divisions broken up by age (high school, youth, senior) and other factors (futurity, derby, aged horse).
In the open 4D division, the 1D overall winner with the fastest time of the night was Wyatt Paul, riding the horse Tres Cups of Sugar and completing with a time of 17.381 seconds. It was only .014 faster than second place.
The 2D overall buckle winner was Davie King. Riding the horse JT, they completed the course in 17.881 seconds. It was only .006 faster than second place.
The 3D overall winner that won the buckle was Ivy Hurst. Riding the horse Chics Sharp Guy, they had a time of 18.389 seconds. It was .012 seconds faster than second place.

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.
