Bowie, ranked number 21 in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Conference 3A rankings, opened the season at home Tuesday against Burkburnett.
Bowie made a strong case for moving up in those rankings after a decisive 58-22 win.
“The team played hard,” said head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek. “It was a really good first game.”
Bowie seized control of the game from the start as Courtney Brady recovered her own rebound for the team’s first points of the season.
Once the Lady Rabbits grabbed the lead, they never lost it. Burkburnett finally reached double digits midway through the third quarter.
The Lady Rabbits established a 36-7 lead by intermission. For the game, Bowie held Burkburnett to 29 percent field-goal shooting.
“I was proud of the defensive effort,” Davis said. “It’s really good when you can hold opponents to single digit scoring for a couple quarters; it’s one of our goals. We played sound defense in full and half court.”
Only in the fourth quarter, when the game was already decided, was Burkburnett competitive. Read the weekend Bowie News for more, including a complete box score. Buy an e-subscription to 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.
