FISHING: ShareLunker season recalled
The 29th Toyota ShareLunker season wrapped up on April 30, with a total of six fish entered.
That’s according to a press release from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
David Roulston of Frisco caught the first ShareLunker, No. 558, which is a 13.88-pound largemouth bass from Lake Fork in Athens on Nov. 20. The fish was 26.75 inches long, and 20.5 inches in girth.
McAllen’s Blair Schwarz caught ShareLunker No. 559 from a private lake in Zapata County on Feb. 19.
The fish weighed 14.3 pounds and was caught on a Jackall ASKA squarebill crankbait in about six feet of water.
Lake Ray Roberts produced ShareLunker No. 560, caught by Shannon Lee Elvington from Pilot Point on March 7. The 15.18-pound bass took a jerkbait.
This is the current lake record for Ray Roberts, located in Sanger, and it’s a little more than three ounces shy of making the list of the 50 biggest largemouth bass ever caught in Texas.
Elvington has qualified for Angler of the Year honors, catching the largest fish of the season. He received a lifetime fishing license. Read more 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.
