HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL: Lady Rabbits’ losing streak hits three games

The Bowie High School softball team tried to take advantage of its speed by bunting during Tuesday’s District 3A-9 game.
Should Petie Wolsey and Tristin Hopson get on base, they put pressure on opposing defenses to make plays.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go according to plan – despite Wolsey and Hopson going a combined 3-for-8 at the plate – as surging Henrietta defeated Bowie 10-5, sending the Lady Rabbits to their third straight loss.
“It hasn’t worked out for us,” Bowie head coach Brant Farris said. “We have the speed to bunt and steal. It changes the dynamic of the game. But, you still have to get on base.”
Both Wolsey and Hopson struck out once while attempting to get on with a bunt.
Bowie stands at 14-15, 7-6 in the district. City View topped Nocona 10-8 on the same night, forging a tie heading into the final game of the regular season Friday night – weather permitting.
If Bowie and City View both win or lose on Friday, there will be a play-in game to determine fourth place in the district for the final playoff spot. The Lady Rabbits play at Holliday while the Lady Mustangs tangle with Boyd. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the weekend 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.
