Bowie High School’s Jayde Brezina represented the game-tying run at the plate as the Lady Rabbits mounted a furious late rally against Howe in the Conference 3A bi-district playoffs.
Earlier in the seventh inning, Courtney Brady tripled to score three runs and Addy Cook walked, putting runners on the corners for Brezina.
Torrey Stubblefield threw Brezina a change-up high in the strike zone. The bat stayed on her shoulder, as the umpire’s right arm elevated signaling a strike.
Bowie’s season was over, and Howe advanced in the 3A postseason with a 9-6 victory over the Lady Rabbits at Darwin Fields on the campus of North Central Texas College in Gainesville.
Bowie finished the season 15-16. Howe will play the winner of a best-of-3 series between Glen Rose and Scurry-Rosser.
“We battled, we fought,” first-year Bowie head softball coach Brant Farris said regarding the Lady Rabbits’ rally.
Farris said Howe won the game because the Lady Bulldogs made adjustments at the plate before the Lady Rabbits did.
“They found a way to adjust to our pitchers, when it comes down to it,” Farris said.
Bowie finally chased Howe starting pitcher Madison Hargrove in the seventh. In hindsight, Farris hoped the Lady Rabbits were more selective while hitting during the early innings. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the weekend Bowie News.

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.
