STORM CENTER: Twitter battle has local ties
Earlier this week, former University of Mississippi basketball player Marshall Henderson engaged in a Twitter war with current FOX broadcaster Erin Andrews.
Little did I know this had a tiny connection to Bowie?
Henderson played basketball for Bowie High School during the 2005-06 season, and he averaged about 25 points per game.
Henderson made history, becoming the only freshman to be named most valuable player on the Times Record’s Red River 22 hoops team.
After his freshman season, Henderson transferred to L.D. Bell in Hurst along with his coaching father, Willie.
During the Fantasy of Lights Tournament in Wichita Falls in 2008, Henderson earned tournament MVP honors and Bell whacked South Garland in the championship.
In his senior season at Bell, Henderson averaged 25.8 points, 5.1 assists and 3.8 steals per contest.
Henderson’s college experience was filled with transfers, first starring at Utah as a freshman (30 starts, 11.8 points per game).
Then Henderson returned to Texas in hopes of playing for former Texas Tech coach Pat Knight, before Knight was fired as head coach. Marshall played at South Plains College in Levelland, leading the school to a perfect 36-0 record and junior college national championship.
Henderson eventually ended up at Mississippi, where he guided the Rebels to the NCAA Tournament in 2013.
While at Ole Miss, it was reported Henderson tested positive for cocaine, marijuana and alcohol. He spent 25 days in jail for violating his probation on a forgery charge on counterfeit money.

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.
