HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL: Paradise no match for Bowie

Bowie High School head baseball coach Ryan Rogers used an example from this past weekend concerning playing a suspended game.
Texas A&M and Arkansas played a suspended game in Southeastern Conference play, with the Aggies leading the Razorbacks 8-3 when play was halted in the sixth inning on Saturday. The game resumed on Sunday, with Arkansas prevailing 9-8.
Rogers wanted to make sure the same thing didn’t happen to the Jackrabbits, and it didn’t.
“You never know what can happen when you resume a suspended game,” Rogers said. “I knew we needed to score more runs, and put the pressure back on them. I was pleased with the kids’ effort. We did what we needed to do to win.”
Bowie scored three times in the third inning, and eventually the Conference 3A top-10 Jackrabbits prevailed 12-1 over Paradise in 3A-9 play on Monday.
Bowie improved to 20-1-2 overall, an unblemished 10-0 in the district.
Coby Bentley, Carter Shackelford and Lawson Mickler sparked the win at the plate. Shackelford was a perfect 1-for-1 with two walks, two runs and three RBIs. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the mid-week Bowie News.

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.
