Red River HS Bass Club get 2nd
The Red River Youth Bass Club competed at Richland Chambers Lake this past weekend for its final regular season tournament.
All seven teams made the long trip to fish the lake. It is spawning time in Texas, so finding fish can sometimes be hit or miss. The club had three teams weigh in fish with plenty of challenges to go with the windy lake.
As a club they finished as the second highest club on the lake behind the Highland Park club. The high placing team for Red River finished second as a team was Carson Caudle/Hunter Blackburn with a weight of 18.63 pounds on four caught fish.
The Cooper Johnson/Corbyn Patton team placed 21st with a weight of 9.53 pounds after catching four fish. The team of Lane Smith/Colt Henry caught two fish for a weight of 7.15 pounds and placed 33rd. The other teams had a difficult time finding any fish to put in the boat.
This tournament finalized the Angler of the Year and Team of the Year. For AOY Red River had some success with the team of Carson Caudle/Hunter Blackburn with a 7th place finish and $1,000 scholarship to split when they graduate.
The other teams placed: 34th for Cooper Johnson/Corbyn Patton; 37th for Lane Smith/Colt Henry; 57th for the team of Walker Strahan/Bryce Ramsey.
All four of those teams qualified for Regionals at Lake Lewisville on April 29th.

Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.
Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.
“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”
Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.
Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.
After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.
Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
