IN BRIEF: Red Sox activate RHP Workman
Former Bowie High School pitcher Brandon Workman, currently undergoing rehabilitation from Tommy John surgery, has been activated by the Boston Red Sox.
The Red Sox made the move, activating Workman from the 60-day disabled list, on Nov. 6.
The move returns Workman to the Red Sox 40-man roster.
It’s expected Workman will be out until around midseason as Brandon works his way back from the surgery.
Catcher Christian Vazquez, right-handed pitchers Clay Buchholz, Koji Uehara and Anthony Varvaro also were reinstated to the team.
The Red Sox roster now sits at 38 players.
Workman had Tommy John surgery to relieve right elbow strain in mid-June. This occurred after he received a platelet-rich plasma injection in hopes of avoiding the procedure. Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery in Pensacola, Fla.
Workman pitched a scoreless eighth inning of Boston’s World Series-clinching Game Six against the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2014, Workman was dismal at 1-10 with a 5.17 earned-run average in 19 appearances, including 15 starts.
Workman is a 2007 graduate of Bowie High School.

Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.
Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.
“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”
Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Nocona came into game two of its Class 2A Division I bi-district series with Archer City looking to rebound from a 17-0 loss in game one.
The Lady Indians took a quick lead but the Lady ‘Cats had too much in the tank and knocked Nocona out of the playoffs courtesy of a 13-3, five-inning victory winning the best of three series, 2-0.
Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.
Archer City prevented further damage by retiring the next two hitters. The Lady ‘Cats struck in the bottom of the inning for seven runs.

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.
Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.
After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.
Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
