FOOTBALL: Conflict exists at AT&T Stadium

There is a conflict on the schedule this year for the University Interscholastic League championship games.
When the National Football League football schedule was released on Tuesday night, the Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to play the New York Jets at 7:25 p.m. on Dec. 19 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
The Conference 6A Division I and Division II football games are scheduled for the same time at the same location.
Something must give.
The conflict has taken UIL officials by surprise. The UIL has a standing agreement to have games at AT&T Stadium through this season.
Officials at AT&T Stadium have committed to serving as the central site for state championship games for years to come; however, the Cowboys didn’t have any comment on Tuesday evening for the Dallas Morning News.
The NFL is unlikely to move the Cowboys’ game, since it is a national television broadcast on the NFL Network.
The UIL’s flexibility is limited.
The league’s calendar can’t be budged, with the start of practices the opening week of August and the governing body is unwilling to play games on Christmas weekend.
Where could games move?
Options include Apogee Stadium at the University of North Texas in Denton, Amon G. Carter Stadium at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth and Gerald Ford Stadium at Southern Methodist University. Or perhaps the Cotton Bowl. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

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.

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.
