Bonham Warrior Athletics

April is filling up with post season competition for our Fighting Purple Warriors. Some of our seasons are on the home stretch and still a lot to be playing for.

Beginning this new role has offered a great insight into our boys athletic program as a whole. I am very proud of our athletes and coaches for the hard work they are putting in during this busy spring. We continue to push forward and the results are coming in.

Last week we began speaking about Discipline. Our boys were reminded that being disciplined (self-discipline) is almost never easy. It is doing what is necessary not what is comfortable. This week we begin speaking about Strength and specifically the "mental strength" of a man. The mental strength that a man is required to have as they learn to provide for themselves, family, and others.

Our Boys Athletic Banquet is scheduled for Tuesday, May 9, in the BHS Aux Gym.

Our BHS and LHR track teams have competed well over the last few weeks. Two weeks ago we hosted our JH and HS Warrior Relays. Both meets were a success in both how the meet was ran and the results we saw from our athletes. At our HS meet both our JV and V Boys were runner-up in the final team standings.

At the JH District Track meet our 7th Grade boys finished Runner-up as a team. We had two athletes finish in the top 10 of the Top Athlete Division (most points scored by an individual). Tyler Whitman finished 7th and Jorge Carcamo finished 2nd.

BHS senior, Jacob Gorden, will be signing with ETBU to join their track program on Monday April 17 at 11:05 in the Comp Gym.

BHS Junior, Justin McBride competed THSPA State Meet in Abilene. Justin earned a 4th place finish in the 242 class. Justin represented himself and Bonham ISD very well this year.

Sophomore, Mixon Bowser competed at the District Golf Tournament at Stone Creek Golf Club in Sherman, TX. This is Mixon's first year to play golf at BHS. He did very well through the golf season and at the district tournament.

Good pitching continued to carry us to a sweep of Leonard in week two of our district schedule. Senior, Matthew Fortune threw a NO HITTER in game one and Sophomore, Brae Gorman followed that up with a two hit shutout in game two. We have dropped four district games to Pottsboro and Howe. This week is a very important week for us with games vs Blue Ridge.

District Champs has a good sound to it!

Our Boys Tennis team came home with a District Runner-Up trophy with some earning trips to the Regional Tournament. Max Stolle is the Men's Singles District Champ. Jagger Lindsey and Alli Kirkpatrick are Mixed Doubles District Champs. These three are completing this week at the Regional Tennis Tournament.

Friday April 7, alumni Blake Bowser graduated USMC boot camp. Blake is a 2018 graduate of Bonhi.
