Without even playing, Bowie drops in TABC poll
The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team didn’t open the season until last night against Burkburnett.
So, to find the Lady Rabbits dropping 10 spots from 11th to 21st might be a little surprising.
All the teams ranked ahead of Bowie have played at least one game.
Grandview has played five games already and Teague and Live Oak Cliff four each.
Among area teams, Brock is second, Krum 12th and Peaster 16th.
Bowie will play Krum next Monday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m.
Five teams ahead of the Lady Rabbits have already incurred their first loss. Bowie is not ranked in the Texas Girls Coaches Association poll.
In Conference 2A girls, Muenster is 12th and Alvord 22nd to round out area teams receiving state recognition.
In Conference 3A boys, Peaster is 7th and Whitesboro is 14th.
Neither Montague County boys teams nor Bellevue are ranked.

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.
