The Del City Eagles face only two challenges on their road to dual state and district champion: the Deer Creek Antlers and the Carl Albert Titans.
They crushed the first of these two 51-15 in Tuesday night’s match at Deer Creek.
The Deer Creek duel started out rough for the Eagles as Zeke Lora dominated Tanner Cole with quick accurate movements that often ended on the floor.
Eventually Cole ran out of steam and was defeated 8-0 bringing the team 5-0 in favor of the Antlers.
The next match didn’t go much better as Deer Creek’s Zack Reed pushed Patrick Cocklin all over the mat. Cocklin did manage to score 1 point with 1:29 seconds left in the third period on an escape. However it was too little to late as Reed won 5-2.

Last Friday, both Jones Longhorns’ basketball teams took on two highly touted Harrah Panther squads in two games. Game one was decided by turnovers while the second was a close call that could have ended very differently.
When the girls squared off, 4A’s No. 3 ranked Panthers won, 42-21.
The Lady Longhorns started the game with 7 turnovers. Normally, turnovers are a sure sign of a blow-out game, but at the end of the first half, the Lady Panthers’ lead was only 17-11.
The third quarter is where the game took a definite turn for Harrah. The Lady Panthers scored 14 to out-score the Lady Longhorns handily, who only scored 4 points in the quarter.

I bet I can tell you how your first encounter with new Rose State Athletic Director Joey DaVault will go more or less.
He’ll brag to you about the lovely wellness center and its top notch equipment.
He’ll proudly state his love for the college and the kids that roam its campus.
The athletic department’s newest leader might even share a lit bit of his vision for the future and how it will result in real educational benefits for athletes and the student body alike.
And, you’re going to know it’s genuine. Because somewhere not too far off from the opening handshake, maybe tucked in neatly between the wellness center and the students, he’s going to ask you about yourself.

| Lady Wildcats beyond resilient en route to Sooner Christian title |
|
Resilience was the key last weekend as the Destiny Christian girls’ basketball team fought through rough patches to end up with the Sooner Christian Conference title.
The Lady Wildcats started their two-day championship run at Liberty Christian in Shawnee against All-Conference/Tournament player Tat Ndekwe and the Lawton Christian Lady Crusaders.
Ndekwe dominated early with 10 points and 4 rebounds. However, Destiny Christian’s freshman guard Caiti Ferguson was more than up to the task of matching Ndekwe.
Ferguson started 2-2 from the field leading to 7 points with teammate Brittany Anderson adding in 4 more points. By the end of the first quarter, the Lady Wildcats were hanging on to a 1-point lead.
Despite all of Ndekwe’s work on the glass, Destiny Christian still maintained an 11-6 advantage in rebounding. Neither team could find the range with the Lady Wildcats going 4-12 while the Lady Crusaders shot 6-16.

| Bomber basketball rebounds from loss; takes consolation championship |
|
Coming off their lopsided victory over cross-town rival Del City, the Midwest City boys’ basketball team (8-0) took the consolation championship and a fifth place finish in the Putnam City Invitational.
The 15th edition of the PCI wasn’t kind to start for 6A’s No. 2 ranked Bombers as the tournament got underway last Thursday at Putnam City West.
Midwest City saw the home school Oklahoma City Storm led by TCU commit guard Chauncey Collins in day one, and Collins wasted no time showing why he was last year’s National Homeschool Player of the Year.
Collins followed 8 first quarter points with 13 more in the second quarter going 4-7 from the 3-point line in that time span. The demoralizing part for the Bombers wasn’t Collins hitting 3’s but the kind that he was taking and knocking down.

This effectively ended her Del City basketball career. Or did it?

| Carl Albert Cruises in Second Half over Del City |
Last season, Carl Albert had to travel to Del City as an underdog in the first round of the playoffs. The Titans edged out a win in that contest, 28-21, ending the Eagles' dream season that saw them win nine games in the regular season. This season, Del City found itself as the underdog traveling to Carl Albert in the first round. The Eagles had plans to avenge their loss and send the Titans home early.

| Mistakes Ground Eagles' Chance at Upset |
It was a game of missed opportunities for the Del City Eagles. They traveled a few minutes down the road to take on the defending state champion Carl Albert Titans and stared the champ down for about one quarter and half; however mistakes would be the undoing of the Eagles as they fell 34-12.

| The Bully Pulpit |
Bullying over the last few weeks has come to the forefront of American debate. It started at the end of October when a Texas parent called foul after their son’s high school team lost 91-0. It gained more steam last week as more information came out about the Miami Dolphin’s locker situation.
