VOLLEYBALL: Scott appearing at MSU
Five-time Olympian Danielle Scott-Arruda will be appearing on July 29 at D.L. Ligon Coliseum on the Midwestern State University campus.
This is part of a fund-raiser for the MSU volleyball team to help pay for its trip to Argentina.
Former Bowie player Addy Cook will be part of the Mustangs’ group going to South America.
Scott will deliver the keynote address. Tables of eight are available, or purchase a sponsorship, for $500.
Scott was a member of the United States women’s volleyball team for 19 years, and played on the college level at Long Beach State University – where she was a three-time American Volleyball Coaches Association first-team All-American.
Long Beach State won the 1993 NCAA Division I national championship.
Scott joined the U.S. women’s national team in 1994, making her international debut at the Goodwill Games. She helped her country win the FIVB World Championship one year later.
She was part of the United States’ back-to-back silver-medal winning squads – at the 2008 Beijing Games and 2012 London Games. Brazil defeated the U.S. in both of those matches. Scott was 39 years old on the ’12 team.
Today, Scott is part of USA Volleyball’s High Performance Center coaching the next generation of Olympians. She is one of only four players – male or female – to have participated in five Olympics.
Scott was inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame in 2016.

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.
