The entire Nocona High School girls’ golf team and Bowie’s Chloe Polk will still be playing competitive golf in a couple of weeks.
The Nocona group of Josie Chism, Makenzie Breeze, Chloey Hamilton, Angel Rhudy and Kalyn Crow finished second to Jacksboro and Polk was seventh among individuals as the District 3A-9 tournament wrapped up at River Creek Golf Club in Burkburnett on Thursday.
River Creek plays as a 5,029-yard, par-71 for the girls and 5,713 yards for the boys. The teams competed at Runaway Bay on Tuesday during the first round.
The Conference 3A regional tournament is set for April 13-14 at Oak Hurst and Peach Tree Golf Courses in Bullard, which is between Tyler and Jacksonville in east Texas.
“The girls have worked hard in practice to improve every day,” Nocona head golf coach Bradley McGann said.
Chism finished with one of the top-seven scores, putting together a two-day composite of 214, two strokes ahead of Polk.
McGann said Chism played well because she managed both the course and her emotions well throughout the round.
Polk narrowly missed qualifying for the regional tournament last season, but wasn’t going to be denied here. Read more, and see all scores, in the Bowie News in print and with your electronic subscription.

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 2^nd 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 8^th 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 2^nd 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.
