Bowie tennis almost wins first match
The Bowie tennis team came up just short on Tuesday of winning its first match of the season while playing at Hirschi.
The Jackrabbits came up one game short, losing by the narrowest margin 10-9.
Playing against another bigger and more experienced program, Bowie did not let that intimidate them heading into the match and the results showed it.
Coming out of all of the doubles games, the Jackrabbits were ahead of Huskies 4-3. Unfortunately, Hirschi just came out ahead in the singles games to take the match.
The girl’s doubles teams in the second position, featuring Laney Enlow/Alyssa Airington, and the third position, featuring Caysen Latham and Gentry Gray, both won their games. The second team won 8-5 and the third team 8-2.
The boy’s doubles team in the third position featuring Alex Castro and Brooks Gray dominated in their win with the score being 8-0.
The mixed doubles team of Gavyn Brown and Leah Cantrell won their game to put Bowie on top early on.
The singles matches did not go the Jackrabbits way in the end.
On the boy’s side, Castro and Gray also won their singles games in the fifth and sixth position dominantly.
On the girl’s side, Lily Hodges won her singles match in the third position in what was the only close singles match that went to the Jackrabbits, winning 8-6.
Latham and Gray then cleaned up with dominant wins in the fifth and sixth position.

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.
