Nathan Winn has been hired to round out the Bowie High School boys’ basketball coaching staff.
And that should be a familiar name for locals.
Winn is a 2006 graduate from Bowie, and he was a three-sport athlete in football, basketball and golf.
“Basketball was my strongest sport, by far,” said Winn, the son of Shelley Winn and the late Ted Winn, Montague County judge when he died.
In addition to basketball, Winn will serve as wide receivers coach on the high school football team and teach physical education at the junior high level.
Winn said he’s eager to be a part of Bowie basketball, with Doug Boxell preparing for his fourth season piloting the Jackrabbits.
“I’m looking forward to this exciting opportunity,” Winn said. “He’s (Boxell) had a lot of success in his coaching career, and I want to learn from him.”
Winn said he missed the family atmosphere Bowie provides.
After graduating from Bowie, Winn earned a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from the University of North Texas, with a minor in health promotions.
During the 2012-13 academic year, Winn served as the head football and boys’ track and field coach at Forestburg. He was an assistant to boys’ basketball coach Steve Sandusky. Read more in the July 6 Bowie News.

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.
