Oh, so close.
The Bowie High School volleyball team was up 23-17 and 24-19 in the third set against District 3A-9 foe Henrietta on Tuesday at BHS gymnasium.
However, the Lady Bearcats clawed back and eventually won the third set – scoring the final seven points.
Henrietta defeated Bowie in four sets by scores of 25-23, 17-25, 26-24, 25-19.
With the loss, Bowie dropped to 18-16 overall and 3-5 in district play.
Time is running out on the Lady Rabbits if they want to grab one of the four playoff spots available to them.
“When you have a team down 24-19, you have to finish it,” Bowie head coach Jeanie Stark said. “When you don’t finish it, it is a big hit on your confidence and the mental part of the game.
“Henrietta gave us an opportunity they don’t normally give,” Stark continued, “lots and lots of free balls and we didn’t take advantage of it. We let them back in.”
Henrietta continued to show it’s the class of District 3A-9, and they lead the district by one game over Boyd and Nocona. Read more in the weekend 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.
