Nearly everyone got in on the act Saturday as Cameron University fought off pesky Dallas Baptist University for a 76-70 men's basketball victory in the Aggie Gym.
OKLAHOMA CITY - In a heavyweight, blow-by-blow prizefight Carl Albert landed the biggest, cleanest punches.
CANYON, Texas - Cameron's women's basketball team came ever so close to picking up that elusive second victory of the young season, but the Aggies struggled to score early in overtime and wound up
There's no forgetting 2009 for Brett Manning. It was his first year as MacArthur's head coach. The Highlanders went 7-4.
That fourth loss is the one that stuck.
Monday practices are always are a little messy once a fresh defensive gameplan is implemented. Tuesdays improve slightly, as players execute well enough so that coaches can rest easier.
Run game thriving late
MacArthur coach Brett Manning still can't shake from his mind one leftover image from MacArthur's 28-14 win over Collinsville last week.
The stuffing, the turkey, the naps, the football: Out of the roughly 52 weeks in a year, this one ranks so high on the list you could basically put it on top of your Christmas tree.
The All Stars league was the setting for the one and only Honors worthy score last week with Clarence Weber at the top of the high game list with a 298, 11 in a row.
Cameron University will celebrate the 10th year of its Athletics Hall of Fame by inducting five contributors from the Good Ol' Days.
Joining the elite group will be:
ATLANTA - As the Harlem Globetrotters prepare to bring their 2017 World Tour to Great Plains Coliseum in Lawton at 7 p.m. Feb. 6, the team took a timeout for Guinness World Records Day.
WICHITA FALLS - Our Lady of the Lake forced overtime with a pair of free throws with one second remaining and then dominated the five-minute extra period to hand the Cameron men their first loss of
MacArthur will make another trip to the semifinals. This time, Anthony Love-Kemper will ride along.
In fact, he's a big reason for the ride.
EDMOND - Head coach might become a secondary title for Randy Breeze.
After Friday night, those in the Lawton High locker room might start calling him Prophet.
WICHITA FALLS, Texas ñ The charity stripe proved to be the difference in Cameron's 60-45 win over St. Mary's in the Patterson Auto Center Classic on Friday evening.
Lawton's list of football playoff teams has been slashed from 15 to seven, which includes two city teams still alive.
MacArthur strives for it this time of year, Ronnie Kimble said. On Friday, he and the Highlanders nearly achieved it.
"We want everything to be perfect," Kimble said.
Cameron University's basketball teams had both good and bad news Friday as they opened their seasons at a pair of NCAA Division II festivals.
The list of Lawton-area playoff teams is sure to get shorter in the coming days. Hopefully it doesn't, but you know how these things go. The postseason is crude.
But it's also a thrill.
Friday's performance by Lawton High School was just what the doctor ordered.
ARDMORE - Ardmore gave an inch and MacArthur took a mile. Then it took the District 5A-1 championship.
For the most part, Eisenhower's football team did just what the coaches wanted, build a big lead early and steamroll Northwest Classen in the regular-season finale.
Randy Breeze has been there, done that when it comes to injuries causing problems for his Wolverines, so he has plenty of empathy for rival coaches who are enduring the same thing.
As MacArthur tries to secure its third district championship in four years, it meets a most familiar foe. Mac and Ardmore are the only teams to have won the past three District 5A-1 championships.
If you attended last week's Lawton High-Putnam City West football game, you may have noticed a new LHS defensive end on the field, No. 18.
