Red River Bass Club opens year
The 2025 Texas High School Bass Association started for the Red River HS Bass Club on Lake Lewisville Saturday, September 20th. Seven teams form our RRHSBC showed up and were part of 143 teams who had entered for the day to see who could come out with the most weight in bass.
The day starts for these teams before sunrise, and they must stop fishing at 3 p.m. Unfortunately, one of the teams had some bad luck and didn’t finish the day due to a sports injury the week before. Out of the remaining teams we were able to place 11th as a club for a total weight of 16.08 pounds. Volunteer boat captains and parents along with the sponsors have made this program successful and keeps the youth on the water and competing. 17.90 pounds won the day for a team from Highland Park.
Red River results are as follows. Bryce DeMore/Ranger Carle and boat captain Seth Barnes led the team to 30th place with 6.54 pounds. Next was the team of Lane Smith/Carson Caudle and boat captain Abel Segura with a 31st place finish and 6.49 pounds. Hunter Moss/Phillip Prespentt with boat captain David Moss settled with 3.05 pounds and 59th place. Tayt Lawrence/Colten Anglin with boat captain Bradley Lawrence found 71st place with 2.38 pounds. Cooper Johnson/Colt Henry with boat captain Brian Johnson weighed 1.72 pounds for 77th place. Walker Strahan/Bryce Ramsey and Ollie Haynie/Jaxon Rosenau were unable to find the right sized fish to weigh and even broke several off in a great effort to make it to weigh-in.

Bellevue’s girl’s basketball team led at halftime but a quick 9-0 Jacksboro run in the opening moments of the second half would prove the difference in a 28-25 Lady Eagle loss June 15 in a Nocona Summer League game.
Leading 12-9 at the half, Bellevue continued to shut down the inside game of the Tigerettes. Jacksboro switched tactics and began firing from outside. Three 3-pointers in the span of just under two minutes gave Jacksboro an 18-12 lead.
Bellevue kept things close, however, getting on the second half scoreboard with Mattie Broussard’s basket and free throws cutting the deficit to two, 18-16. A Haven Jones 3-pointer put the Lady Eagles up 19-18 midway through the second half.
The Tigerettes had just one 3 -pointer the rest of the way but got inside for a pair of buckets to take a 25-21 lead with 4:50 to go. Both offenses shut down late.

Most school-age athletes start off playing everything. By the time they graduate, they whittle it down to just one or two.
New Bowie girl’s track and overall cross country coach Shawnda Childers is no exception. While at Iowa Park she competed in volleyball, cross country and track before cutting out volleyball and focusing on track and cross country to close out high school.
Childers did not stay with athletics while moving on to Midwestern State University, where she received her bachelor’s and master’s Degrees. After graduation, shestarted coaching in Electra. She came to Bowie for one year, then went back to her old stomping grounds in Iowa Park where she spent the next four years.
The return home also put her in contact with now-Bowie Coach Griffin Fields, who was a coach there at the time. From Iowa Park, she spent the next three years at City View.

New Saint Jo Girl’s Basketball Coach Grant Gooch isn’t completely unfamiliar with the area.
“We went to Muenster quite a bit when I was a kid,” Gooch, who will be going into his 20th year as a coach, said. “We’d load up the cooler from the meat markets. It’s good to be back.”
Gooch worked with Saint Jo Athletic Director CJ Hantz when the pair were in Throckmorton. Gooch comes to town from Menard where he spent three years at the West Texas school.
Gooch says coaching and education kind of come naturally to him.
