Billie Ray Dowers, 85, of Hutchinson, passed away Feb. 28, 2025, at his home as was his wish, surrounded by loved ones in the home that he built almost 50 years ago. He was born Sept. 29, 1939, in Waynoka, OK, to Ray and Bessie (Littrell) Dowers, and was an only child.

Billie moved to Hutchinson in 1951 and graduated from Hutchinson High School, Hutchinson Community College, and McPherson College with a degree in education. Billie quickly discovered that a career indoors at the chalkboard was not his path, so he started Dowers Tractor Service. Billie always preferred working outdoors - at first with his father, and then with his children. A well-known fixture in the community and often seen driving a tractor all over town, Billie was a skilled craftsman doing dirt work and planting residential and commercial lawns. He also did contractor work including removing snow from many of the city’s businesses and parking lots.

Billie was a caring and generous man, often providing a hand to those who needed it most. He lived a full and active life to the end of his days, still going to work every day and enjoying pastimes like fishing, antiquing, and Sunday drives in the country. Billie’s collection of cars and tractors – both real and models – was to be envied, including a Model A Ford, 55 Chevy, 57 Chevy, 64 Chevy, and a vintage Cadillac. He had antique, restored tractors as well, which included the same model he learned to drive as a teen.

Billie met the love of his life on a double date to the movies in 1961. He and Connie Sue Doty married two years later and celebrated 58 years of marriage before her passing in 2022.

Billie is survived by: his daughter, Tammie Cox (Brian) of Lee’s Summit, MO; sons, Terry (Pam Shirley), Randy (Amy), Ricky (Lacy), all of Hutchinson; nine grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents and wife, Connie.

Funeral service will be 10 a.m. Friday, March 7, 2025, at Elliott Chapel. Burial will follow in Eastside Cemetery.

The service will be livestreamed and the link below to view it will be active beginning at 9:45 a.m. the day of the service.

Game 2 was frustrating for the Blue Dragons as they stranded 12 runners on base, including leaving the bases loaded in the seventh and eighth innings, in a 2-0 loss to the Red Ravens in the series finale on Saturday.
The Blue Dragons (11-2) and Red Ravens (9-2) split their four-game series. The Dragons travel to play Hesston College on a single nine-inning game on Tuesday in Hesston. Hutchinson then opens Jayhawk West play on Thursday in Dodge City.

Hutchinson CC Sports Information
With two games remaining in the 2024-25 regular season, the Hutchinson Community College women's basketball team still has a shot to repeat its Jayhawk Conference championship.
BLUE DRAGON WOMEN'S BASKETBALL No. 11 Hutchinson (25-3, 19-3) at Seward County (19-9, 14-8) When: Saturday, March 1, 2025 Where: Green House, Liberal, KS Time: 2:00 p.m. Radio: <a href="https://streamdb5web.securenetsystems.net/v5/KHUT" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KHUT-FM (102.9); KWBW-AM/FM (1450/98.5), 1:45 p.m. - Sean Boston (PBP); Daren Dunn (analyst)</a> Video: <a href="https://www.kjcccsports.net/hutchcc/?B=2234640">Blue Dragon Sports Network, 1:45 p.m.</a> X: @bluedragonsport <a href="https://www.bluedragonsports.com/sports/wbkb/2024-25/files/Game_29_-_Seward_County_women.pdf">CLICK FOR FULL BLUE DRAGON GAME NOTES (PDF Format)</a>
In order to keep that chance alive, the Blue Dragons take on the Seward County Saints in a big KJCCC road contest on Saturday afternoon. The No. 11-ranked Blue Dragons (25-3, 19-3 KJCCC) and Saints (19-9, 14-8), tip off at 2 p.m. at the Green House in Liberal.
The game will be broadcast live on Blue Dragon flagship station KHUT-FM (102.9) and on sister stations KWBW-AM/FM (1450/98.5) beginning at 1:45 p.m. with Sean Boston (play-by-play) and Daren Dunn (analyst) calling the action. The game will be streamed on the Blue Dragon Sports Network at 1:45 p.m.
Second place in the Jayhawk, the Blue Dragons trail first-place Dodge City by one game entering play on Saturday. Dodge City plays host to KJCCC third-place and No. 18 Coffeyville on Saturday. Hutchinson closes the regular season with Dodge City on Wednesday at the Sports Arena.
The Blue Dragons have won two games in a row after a decisive victory on Wednesday after defeating Pratt 85-44. <a href="https://www.bluedragonsports.com/sports/wbkb/2024-25/bios/forbes_landon_o30r">Landon Forbes</a> scored a game-high 18 points and tallied a career-high nine steals, which tied for the fourth-most steals in program history.
Seward County still has an outside chance to claim a top-four league finish. The Saints trail fourth-place Butler by two games. The Saints would have to win their two remaining games and Butler would have to lose its two remaining games. Then it would be left up to a tie-breaker because the Saints and Grizzlies split their games this season.
The Saints were defeated by Coffeyville 57-47 on Wednesday. Kylie Hunt led the Saints with 12 points.
The first game with Hutchinson and Seward County was a defensive grind won by the Blue Dragons, 52-40 on January 15 at the Sports Arena. That victory was Blue Dragon head coach John Ontjes' 500th career coaching victory. <a href="https://www.bluedragonsports.com/sports/wbkb/2024-25/bios/jackson_hailey_q6t6">Hailey Jackson</a> had 21 points and 11 rebounds to pace Hutchinson. The Dragon defense held Seward County 28 points under its season-scoring average.</div>

He laced an RBI double in the Dragons' three run third inning and drove a two-run single through the right side of Hutchinson's eight-run fifth inning.
The Blue Dragons pounded out 10 hits and took advantage of four Coffeyville errors and 11 Red Raven walks.

Shirley Sue Frank Murphy | 1934 - 2025 | 

Freshman&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bluedragonsports.com/sports/bsb/2024-25/bios/mazza_antony_9347">Anthony Mazza</a>&nbsp;continued his torrid start to the 2025 season on Monday evening, hitting an extra-inning walk-off home run to lead the No. 21-ranked Hutchinson Community College baseball team over Des Moines Area Community College at Hobart-Detter Field.

Mazza's solo home run came with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning as Hutchinson defeated DMACC 4-3 to complete a 2-0 day on Monday.

The Blue Dragons are now 7-0 for the second-straight year, while Des Moines Area fell to 5-6. The Dragons and Bears will play a pair of seven-inning games to close out the three-game series beginning at 1 p.m. Tuesday at Hobart-Detter Field.

Mazza hit the Blue Dragons' first walk-off home run since Blake Bradford hit a walk-off inside-the-park home run to defeat Colby 8-7 on April 21, 2024. The last out-of-the-park walk-off homer by a Blue Dragon was by Tyler DeLong on May 14, 2021 for an 11-10 win over Allen at Hobart-Detter Field.

The Blue Dragons had just two hits after the third inning and the Bears tied the game at 3-3 in the fifth on a solo home run by Jackson Manning. With bases empty and two out in the bottom of the eighth, Mazza hit a 2-2 pitch off Gage Miller over the right-field wall for the game-winning home run.

The Blue Dragon bullpen stepped up late in the game to keep the Bears from cashing on several threats.

<a href="https://www.bluedragonsports.com/sports/bsb/2024-25/bios/mccombs_noah_7a9n">Noah McCombs</a>&nbsp;gave up a leadoff double to Colin Driscoll in the sixth, but struck out the next three batters to strand the runner at second. DMACC loaded the bases with one out in the top of the seventh and McCombs got a strikeout and groundout to shortstop&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bluedragonsports.com/sports/bsb/2024-25/bios/stokes_taber_u8n0">Taber Stokes</a>&nbsp;to end that threat. Then in the top of the eighth against winning pitcher Collin Flores (1-0), the Bears got two baserunner via hit batsmen with one out, Florida got out of the inning with a called third strike and flyball to right field to end that threat.

The Dragons left 11 runners on bases, while Des Moines Area stranded 10.

Mazza had his sixth multi-hit game in seven games, going 2 for 4 with three RBIs and a run scored. Mazza has started the season going 16 for 24 (.667) with eight RBIs.

The Dragons had a season-low seven hits.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bluedragonsports.com/sports/bsb/2024-25/bios/herrmann_jarrett_kvsa">Jarrett Herrmann</a>&nbsp;was 1 for 2 with a pair of RBIs. He had an RBI single in the first for a 1-0 Dragon lead. The Dragons took a 3-2 lead on the fourth when Herrmann was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, forcing home Mazza.

Five Blue Dragon pitchers combined for 13 strikeouts against the Bears. Starter&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bluedragonsports.com/sports/bsb/2024-25/bios/roehler_trenton_pudh">Trenton Roehler</a>&nbsp;had two strikeouts in one inning.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bluedragonsports.com/sports/bsb/2024-25/bios/rosser_lachlan_s3z7">Lachlan Rosser</a>&nbsp;had a season-high six strikeouts in three innings. McCombs had four strikeouts and Flores added one strikeout.

Des Moines Area, which defeated Highland 4-0 earlier on Monday, out-hit the Dragons 8-7.
