One thing’s for sure.
The Bowie High School volleyball team doesn’t have a weak schedule.
That was apparent this past weekend as the Lady Rabbits challenged Texas Girls Coaches Association Conference 2A ninth-ranked Lindsay on Friday and faced several other tough teams on Saturday at the North Central Texas College Tournament in Gainesville.
“Overall, I was pleased with the consistency mainly,” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said. “We played Lindsay tough both times, consistently scoring 18 to 22 points on them every set.
“I like playing the ranked teams,” Stark added. “It pushes us, and the speed of the game is good for us.”
Stark said the biggest hurdle facing the Lady Rabbits right now is starting sets slow, spotting the opposition points at the beginning and having to play “catch up.”
Bowie went 1-2 during NCTC championship bracket play on Saturday, beating Whitesboro 25-19, 25-20, while falling to Lindsay 25-19, 25-18 and Callisburg, ranked second in Conference 3A, by scores of 25-11, 25-13 in the consolation championship.
In the match versus Lindsay, Bowie was down 20-17 after a Madison Little kill. However, the Lady Knights went on a 5-1 run to close out the set, thanks in part to a pair of Bowie illegal hits.

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 2^nd 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 8^th 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 2^nd 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.
