Sounds like Griffin really took…

Can one player really make that much of a difference? If it’s Heritage Hall and that player is sophomore Sterling Shepard, the answer is yes.

Coming off his best victory in his young career in the Ultimate Fighting Championship back in August, former Oklahoma State wrestler Jake Rosholt couldn’t follow up on it.

Rosholt tapped out to a triangle choke in round one against…

With the zone strategy, we’ve basically been picking teams from our…

From talking to Matt Oberste following the game, the Collinsville last-second victory was almost as instrumental in beating Bishop McGuinness as anything else.

Sallisaw was battle-tested in a tough district and Oberste was hungry. Well, the whole team was…

Former Oklahoma State wrestler Shane Roller scored a third-round submission victory at the World Extreme Cagefighting event in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Hunter-Dwelley Stadium, Jenks

The biggest obstacle facing Memorial at Jenks is going to be on the offensive side of the ball. Memorial is just not that explosive type of offense that…
