Special Mission
Central Oklahoma
When Rafe Watkins took over the Guthrie Football program, he thought his days of sharing athletes were over.
He was wrong, and he couldn't be happier about it.
"I jumped from 2A up to 5A, from 200 students to 1,000 students," Watkins said. "I thought I'd have 50-60 kids working out over the summer, but..." The coach trailed off, his point already made.
Welcome to Guthrie... More

In the line of sight
Central Oklahoma
Pick any sport and there’s a different reason for how crucial it is to have perfect visual skills. Dr. Michael Bennett and Dr. Brian Padgham at the Guthrie Vision Source recommend annual vision exams for the athlete so they can keep at the “top of their game”, when it comes to their eyes and how they relate to the rest of the body and to the sport.

Road Trip Conversation Bridges Age Difference
Western Arkansas
I’ve got the gift for gab, always have. I take after my grandpa, an old farmer that never met a stranger. He’d sit on a bench in the mall with a bag of caramel corn and chat with other seed-corn clad fellows he just met. He was also on a first-name basis with most of the baggers and checkers at the local grocery store. Like my grandfather, I also like... More

Goodbye Power I
Western Arkansas
Now, more than ever before, teams on Friday nights mirror the philosophies and strategies of those that play college and pro football.
The receivers nearly outnumber the linemen, split across the line using all of the field's 53-yards in width to do so. The quarterback sometimes gets lonely in the backfield, usually only accompanied by a single back. The linemen rarely put their hand on the ground, instead... More

Hot Eats/Cool Seats
Raleigh - Durham, North Carolina
After the game, there’s nothing better than going out with friends and family to celebrate a win, relive the big play, or commiserate with other fans when the game doesn’t go your way.
A traditional post-game staple is the classic American cheeseburger. To properly review what local restaurants have to offer, I sampled six cheeseburgers over the course of the last month.
The first stop on my angus-fueled... More

So U Want to be a Professional Athlete

The odds of becoming a professional athlete are small. In fact, your chances of shooting a hole-in-one – twice – and bowling a perfect 300 are greater; but what if you do make it? What’s life like as a professional athlete?
Most conjure up visions of money, cars and fame. Others daydream about buzzer-beating heroics or going to Disney World after winning a championship. Few, if any, talk... More

Hot List
Collin County, Texas
The calendar may be approaching Fall, but September in Texas can still be deadly, especially for athletes. Once an athlete is thirsty, they are already dehydrated. It can take up to 24 hours to re-hydrate if an athlete uses only water, therefore making it an insufficient fluid replacement during exercise. Athletes benefit from having a beverage that contains some carbohydrates for brain and muscle energy and sodium to increase fluid... More
