Rowing
Eastern Oklahoma

Rugby
Eastern Oklahoma
Run, tackle, throw. This mindset known to most as rugby mixes a little of soccer, football, extreme endurance, and physical contact all in one setting.
Many may not realize the substantial endurance it takes to play this unusual sport, but Jenks High School seniors Burns Getchell and Scott Russell, both 2 years or more on the team, have had first-hand experience with the agility and stamina they face... More

Family Matters
Eastern Oklahoma
If ever someone was born to compete in a particular sport it was Chris Perry.

Defense Wins Championships!
Eastern Oklahoma
Since the beginning of American football history, players have been told by Coaches that “Defense Wins Championships!” and “The best offense is a good defense!” and as a matter fact; these are the most widely used clichés in football today but not many people are familiar with what these clichés actually mean and why so many coaches believe them whole heartedly?
Looking back on my aspirant youth, I... More

An Unusual Goal of 13-0
Eastern Oklahoma
For Cascia Hall it maybe a new classification but the results are the same so far at least. The Commandos won the state championship last season but it was in 2A. Now in 2008 coach Joe Medina’s squad is competing in Class 3A and doing quite well at it. The Commandos sit atop the 3A rankings as well as leading District 3A-3.
It looks as if Cascia Hall... More

One is Done
Central Indiana
Short of greeting a gymnasium floor suffering from a bad case of the warps, a basketball when bounced has built a reputation for consistency. Roundness does that. Unlike its two-pointed pigskin rival, which tends to fall flat on its laces at the most inopportune times, unpredictability never has been a basketball’s calling card.
In Indiana, that changed with the debut of a four-tiered multi-class system in 1997-98, a controversy... More

Stand by Your Man
Central Indiana

America’s Dirtiest Job
Houston, TX
Referee Mark Ideus was working a high school football game at Pridgeon Stadium five years ago, when he saw a holding foul on a first-half play and threw his yellow flag. But Ideus felt as lonely as the Maytag Repairman, as everyone went with the flow of the play and did not see him standing by his spent marker.
Why? Because a linebacker had held a tight end, which allowed a... More

E-DUB
Houston, TX
How does Cy Springs High School big man Erik Williams not have a nickname?
“Come to think about it, he really doesn’t have a nickname,” coach John Harmatuk said. “That really is strange for how big-time a player he is. He is the best I’ve ever coached.”
How about “The Big E” or “Easy E” for his easy-going demeanor? What about “E-Dub.” There you have it –... More
