VOLLEYBALL: Bowie bashes Jacksboro

On Saturday, Bowie played the Jacksboro in District 3A-9 action.
The Lady Rabbits went on to win their first district game of the season in three sets by scores of 25-14, 25-21 and 25-21. With the win, Bowie kept Jacksboro winless in district play.
Head coach Jeanie Stark said the team has room for improvement – despite the win.
“They got in a place a few times where they just stand and watch; they made errors they don’t normally make and lost their poise for a few points. I thought they missed a few serves that could’ve come back to haunt us.”
Still, Stark said overall “the team played well.”
The coach said she knew the Tigerettes would be big up front.
“We knew we couldn’t give them any free balls,” Stark said.
A big factor in the win was the team’s practices leading up to the Jacksboro match as the Lady Rabbits tried to erase their gut-wrenching five-set loss to Boyd on Sept. 16. Read more in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News.

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.
