Bowie golf finishes sixth at state
The Bowie boy’s golf team competed at the state meet on Monday and Tuesday.
While the team was disappointed finishing sixth overall, it was a good showing for a program with little, if any, experience competing at the state level.
Heading into play, Coach Matthew Miller was worried about the ShadownGlen Golf Course in Manor’s length (7,164), but that was one factor he felt did not affect his players much.
The first day there was some rain that delayed play for two hours.
Miller said the delay was good for a couple of his players as it allowed them to refocus and finish strong.
After the first day, the team total of 348 had Bowie sitting in fifth place. The second day was a bit worse as three of the five players had higher scores than the first day. The Jackrabbits shot six shots higher to finish 354, a 702 total for the tournament.
This was eight shots better than seventh place Llano, but a distant 24 shots behind fourth fifth place Columbus.
Parker Price had the lowest total on both days for the Jackrabbits, shooting an 81 the first day and 84 the second day. His 165 total put him in a tie for 12th place individually.
Andrew Sandhoff was the second lowest, shooting 89 and 87 for a 176 total. Cy Egenbacher was not far behind shooting 89 and 91 for a 180 total.
Hunter Duke shot a 98 and 92 for a two-day total of 190. Jay Anderson shot 89 the first day, but struggled to 106 the second day for a 195 two-day total.

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.
