The Bowie High School girls’ basketball team had its best-ever showing at the 57th Annual Whataburger Tournament this week.
The Lady Rabbits claimed the consolation championship with 69-59 victory over Kennedale at Saginaw High School on Wednesday.
“This is the best we’ve done here,” Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek said. “We had gone 2-2 and 2-2. I’ve seen good teams go 0-4 here.”
And the Bowie girls nearly defeated Wall, before falling to the Hawks by three points.
Courtney Brady and Addy Cook fueled the Lady Rabbits’ victory over Kennedale as Brady tossed in 26 points and Cook supplied a season-high 20 points.
Brady was named to the all-tournament team, and Cook sank 12-of-20 free throws in a game featuring 63 attempted foul shots combined.
“Addy was able to get some second-chance points for us off offensive rebounds,” Davis-Pastusek said. “She put in a lot of effort on the offensive boards. And Courtney played well the whole tournament. She was a consistent scoring threat from the perimeter. It was a big accomplishment for her.”

A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.

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.

Lady Rabbit SB beats Bridgeport

Published

on

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.
