Now this was a fun a couple of hours. I figured going into state that it was a battle between Edmond North, Jenks and Tulsa Union. Edmond coach Steve Riggs told me Enid would be in the mix, but I had no idea just how much.

The Pacers were playing with the emotions of the other teams as the team didn’t have the depth to compete for a title but had the stars to disrupt the ‘what was supposed to happen.’

Regardless, Edmond North came out early and that 200-yard medley relay told the story of the day. The team of Jess Graro, Amanda Greenlee, Abbie Imes and Kathryn Rykard pulled it out. Using that confidence, the girls never flinched.

And actually, when it was all said and done, had a pretty comfortable victory. You couldn’t pry that state championship award from Rykard so I didn’t try. I let her hold it during the video. Great moment for the girls and great moment for the school in winning its first girls swimming championship.

From Norman North, let’s move just up the road to Southmoore and Paul Le. He was solid last year and this year, well, he just went to that other level.

He easily won the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke. He was less than .2 off setting a record in each of them, but he’s just fine with the way everything went down.

He was named Most Outstanding Swimmer by the coaches, and he might get another honor, hint hint.

Ready for a healthy dose of swimming? We’ll start at Norman North where Wilson Wei once again won the 200-yard individual medley. However, what meant a lot more to him was the 200 medley relay team picking up the gold.

Joining Wei on the team were Tomas Elder, Alex Zhu and Aniruddha Parikh.

The Harrah boys after winning their first swimming championship

Splitting up swimming into two separate sessions is a great idea for fans and the schools. It makes for an incredibly long weekend for media members and the workers at OCCC.

So sometimes, yea, I admit to being a little tired during that second session. But I woke right back up during the 5A boys battle between Harrah and Altus.

The Panthers ultimately came out on top to earn their first championship. How close was it? Let’s go event-by-event with a breakdown:

Event No. 1 – 200 Medley Relay
Less than .5 separated the first from third-place teams. Fort Gibson ended up with the win, followed by Harrah and Altus. Altus came in with best qualifying time so this was a bonus for Harrah. Points: Harrah 34-32.

Event No. 2 – 200 Freestyle
Obviously there is no touching Chickasha’s Isaac McKnight. He was dominant as he’s been all four of his years with the Chicks. Altus’s Brandon Alcorta was fourth. Points: Harrah 63-56.

Event No. 3 – 200 IM
Great performance by Heritage Hall’s Matt Veneklasen in this one as he earned his first individual championship. Harrah’s Matt Reaves placed third. Points: Harrah 85-81.

Event No. 4 – 50 Free
This is where the tide went toward Altus. Harrah Braden Hobaugh came in with the top qualifying time, but it was Altus’ Brady George who got the win. That’s a six-point swing right there. By .06 George edged out Hobaugh. Points: Altus 112-109.

Event No. 5 – 100 Butterfly
Miami’s Khyle Hill had a banner day, including winning the 100 fly. Huge points for Altus as Harrah didn’t have one person qualify in this event. Michael Rogers placed third. Points: Altus 139-109.

Event No. 6 – 100 Freestyle
Once again it was McKnight of Chickasha carrying the day. Hobaugh bounced back to place fifth to edge the Panthers a little bit closer. Points: Altus 155.5-136.

Event No. 7 – 500 Freestyle
Bishop Kelley’s Brendan Dolan picked up the win here as Harrah got even closer. Riley Bunyard finished fourth for the Panthers. Points: Altus 169.5-163.

Event No. 8 – 200 Free Relay
And here is where Harrah starts to take control. This is the only event Harrah won, but it was huge. Harrah’s Caleb McCord, Daniel Fijalka, Hobaugh and Reaves were impressive in winning this one. Altus was third. Points: Harrah 203-201.5.

Here was a 15-minute break where I spoke with Harrah coach Guy Worth. He said it would be tight, but he had a lot of swimmers in the 100 back and breaststroke that should give his club the advantage. He was right.

Event No. 9 – 100 Backstroke
Hill was dominant again in easily winning this one. Harrah’s William Fifield finished third as Harrah had two placers to Altus’ one. Points: Harrah 230-210.5.

Event No. 10 – 100 Breaststroke
Kingfisher’s Mason York earned his first title, beating Veneklasen after Veneklasen beat York in the 200 IM. Alcorta placed third, but it was strength in numbers again. Harrah had four placers and Altus had three. Points: Harrah 268-242.5. In other words, as long as Harrah didn’t get DQ’d, it would win.

Event No. 11 – 400 Free Relay
Worth’s message to his team before this one was to not get greedy. Just race your race, and we’ll win. Harrah posted a season-best time in placing second. Altus won the event, but the Bulldogs only gained six points with the victory. Final points: Harrah 302-282.5.

Wonder if Edmond athletic directors Tom Snider (North), Mike de la Garza (Memorial), Barry Blagowsky (Santa Fe) and Mike Nunley will get sick of each other.

The next two days they are going to be seeing each other a lot. I mean, really, a lot. The winter storm that hit the state affected basketball tournament, for sure. However, it is also forced the Edmond schools to reschedule the Three-Dog Night wrestling event.

What was Thursday got moved to Monday. Yep, Monday, the same night as when the three Edmond swimming teams compete against each other at Oklahoma Christian.

I got to cover the Edlam swimming event last year. It’s fun because of how unique it is. Coach Steve Riggs is totally hands off and just lets the boys and girls do their thing. He allows the captains of the respective teams to pick the lineups, and he sits back and announces.

I wish I could be there. And I wish I could be at Edmond North for the wrestling event. The Huskies have dominated the series lately, winning the last nine city championships. Andy Schneider has a dynamite club this year, and I would expect North to walk out with No. 10 in a row Monday.

But…all those weather delays will have me at Deer Creek to finish off the Bruce Gray Invitational. Can’t be in three places at once.

However, Tuesday, bam, I’ll be at Memorial when four of the best boys/girls basketball teams in the state go against each other.

Rivals Santa Fe and Memorial will be going at it. Memorial will look to give the Santa Fe girls their first loss of the season. Santa Fe boys will try to return the favor with the Bulldogs.

Not just the best teams, but you could make some all-star teams with talents like Courtney Walker of Santa Fe and Alie Decker of Memorial and Josh Richardson and Mike Onuoha of Santa Fe and Obi Emegano and Jared Jobe and James and Jordan Woodard of Memorial.

And this is all coming off an Edlam showdown Friday where the North girls dominated the Memorial team, and Memorial boys did the same to Jeff Tanner’s group.

All ‘n all, it should be a fun/crazy couple of days in Edmond, as if they aren’t that way already.

This was a fun story to write on Mount St. Mary’s Caitlin Baker, a star swimmer who has turned her attention to much bigger issues.

At 17, she’s done more than most people twice her age. And it seems like she’s never satisfied and will never take ‘no’ for an answer.

For my story on Baker, here ya go. For her site and more photos, go here. And for some of her long list of accomplishments, well, keep reading after the jump.

You could make a lot of arguments for the likes of Courtney Walker of Santa Fe and Elizabeth Donohoe of North, but I’m givin’ it to the youngster, Jordan Woodard of Memorial.

He came up huge in the win Tuesday at Midwest City and also played well in the Edmond Open championship victory against rival Santa Fe.

His upside is tremendous, and he’s only beginning to scratch the surface of what he can become. We’re definitely going to see what he has because the Bulldogs are going to get tested time and time again this season.

Great week for Memorial. The key is to not suffer that emotional letdown, interesting to see the maturity of this year’s group of kids for Shane Cowherd.

Other contenders

Courtney Walker, Santa Fe, Basketball: In a close game, took over with her quickness and defense to lead Wolves to the Edmond Open championship over North.

Elizabeth Donohoe, North, Basketball: There wasn’t much Donohoe didn’t do at the Open, scoring a tournament-high 68 points in the three games. Huskies snapped Cache’s 30-game winning streak Friday.

Obi Emegano, Memorial, Basketball: He missed some gimmes and still finished with 19 points in the championship and also made the Super 5 for the Edmond Open.

Garrett Hermanski, Deer Creek, Basketball: Another good week for the junior. Get a good idea of where this team is at this weekend at the McGuinness Festival.

Andrew Dixon, North, Wrestling: Huskies placed fourth out of 30 teams with Dixon taking second place at 171 in the Mid-America Nationals Wrestling Tournament at Union.

Abbie Imes, North, Swimming: Continues to show she’s one of the best swimmers in the state, winning two individual titles at the Edmond/Norman meet last Friday.

Edmond coach Steve Riggs is beating the drum to draw more interest in swimming. And one way would be with rankings.

Deer Creek graduate Typ Whinnery

Some stories slip through the cracks, that’s why I love doing these ‘off to college’ pieces. You can’t write about everybody and sometimes you find out the story a little too late.

I got to write three of these stories this year, focusing on swimming, baseball and wheelchair basketball.

Typ Whinnery, Deer Creek: I’ve called him the silent assassin the last couple of years. He just goes out there and gets the job done when he gets in the pool.

I would have loved to have seen him in different events, but he was so dominant in the 500 free and 100 breaststroke that it’s tough to dispute the decision.

The Antlers didn’t have a coach, but with Whinnery, Logan Testi and Slater Pennington, they had three solid competitors.

Blanchard graduate Blaine Smith

Whinnery’s just been solid. Maybe he doesn’t shine or stand out (he’s pretty quiet), but he was easily one of the best swimmers in the state the last four years.

Whinnery is moving on to Army.

For Whinnery’s story, here ya go.

Blaine Smith, Blanchard: Here was an interesting story that I had no knowledge of during the year. Smith, a catcher, broke his neck in the first game of the football season but made it back.

It was interesting listening to him and his mother talk about the trials and tribulations of trying to come back. The little hand exercises they would do. And how Blaine would constantly push that envelope to go as far as he possibly could until being cleared.

Getting through homecoming week of football was huge – that was an emotional time. He got through it and got things back on track.

Piedmont graduate Colin Cutter

Catcher is the most grueling position in baseball, but the injury didn’t change the way Smith approached the game.

Smith actually had his best offensive season of his career this year, hitting .402 and earned a scholarship to Rose State.

For Smith’s story, check out Monday’s paper.

Colin Cutter, Piedmont: We’ve actually watched him grow up through all the Endeavor Games events, but this was the first time we put the spotlight on his school activities.

I was humbled talking to Cutter. He really is quite the character and none too bashful. I enjoyed getting to hear all about his incredible story. He’s earned a scholarship at Missouri to play wheelchair basketball.

He rightfully takes a lot of pride in everything that he has accomplished, and he’s done incredible in track and field and basketball.

It was interesting hearing his thought process when it came to Penn State and Missouri before he finally decided on the Tigers.

His heart is going to be in coaching, no doubt about it. Once he’s done playing, he’s going to work like crazy at being a coach and trying to get the word out on wheelchair basketball.

For Cutter’s story, here ya go.

It’s possible if you don’t follow swimming, that you’ve never heard of Bishop McGuinness star Lizzy Whitbeck. But ya missed out if you didn’t.

Whitbeck excelled in a couple of sports that go under the radar. She’s been a strong cross country runner for the Irish but that gets lost in the fall shuffle and football.

And swimming gets trumped by basketball. However, Whitbeck was phenomenal and rightfully earned The Oklahoman‘s Scholar Athlete award. She was first on my ballot though it was extremely tight (a lot of good candidates as usual).

The first time I saw Whitbeck was at the state swimming meet when she was a sophomore. Training with her older sister, Katie, and former Edmond Memorial star, Samantha Woodward, Lizzy was a star in the making.

Dividing swimming into two classes probably hurt Lizzy as an individual competitor, but she didn’t care as much because of the opportunity it gave to the team.

The Irish are back-to-back Class 5A champions, winning the first 5A title two years ago. Whitbeck did everything she possibly could in both years.

She won two individual titles and was a part of two relay championships as both a junior and a senior. Whitbeck found her passion again for swimming this year, and it showed. She was so smooth.

I don’t know what’s more fun, watching a race that goes right down to the .1 of a second or seeing someone like Whitbeck nearly lap the rest of the field. It was one great performance after another.

I admit that I never saw her run cross country, but you can see why she was so successful at it. That mental toughness carries over in all aspects.

Her leadership really came out in the last couple of years, too. She knew she would be depended on more, and she grabbed the reins and never let go.

Whitbeck will join Katie at Arkansas.

If you’ve followed the Oklahoma swimming scene the last couple of years, then you know all about Deer Creek graduate Typ Whinnery.

If you haven’t, you’ve missed out on a real special talent. The swim season is long over, but Whinnery is continuing to tear it up on the national scene.

Last weekend, Whinnery was dominant at the US Virgin Islands. Whinnery set a short course record in the 1.2 mile St. John Virgin Islands Beach to Beach Swim.

Whinnery completed the trek in 18:40, besting the previous time by more than a minute and beating out more than 170 other participants.

Whinnery was sensational for the Antlers, claiming two championships as a junior and a senior. He will attend West Point, focusing on a degree in engineering.

Well, we did it. We’re through another great year of high school sports. A lot of great moments, a lot of special kids, here is just a small sample of some of my favorite memories.

Qualifying statement: I had to see these in person. I know I missed a lot of great moments so these can only be the ones I actually saw.

Here we go.

One of the best moments of the year was Casey Distaso's three-set battle of wills victory against Union Logon Collins in the semis. Photo by Nate Billings, The Oklahoman

No. 15 – Bethel repeats as slowpitch softball state champions

This was a wild game against Purcell in the championship. At first, you thought the Wildcats were going to run the Dragons right out of the park. Purcell fought back, but it was still 12-4 entering the seventh inning. Then things got wacky. Purcell had hit after hit after hit only to lose 12-9. Bethel’s Brittany Watson is one of the best softball players I’ve seen in my three years of covering the game.

No. 14 – Edmond North boys swim team ekes out 200 individual medley relay

This is more of a personal one as I was gassed after all the 5A championships. However, this relay woke me up and had me ready to roll for the next hours. Edmond North just barely edged out Union by .06 for the title. Of course, Jenks would sweep both the boys and girls championships as Jacob Pearce had a memorable Saturday.

No. 13 – Buzzer beaters (Western Heights’ D.J. Taylor and Holland Hall’s Kwame Sexton)

There was a span of a couple of weeks where I just happened to be lucky enough to have my video camera with me. Taylor hit a 3-pointer to give the Jets a thrilling win against Deer Creek in the Bruce Gray Classic. Sexton drained a 3 at the buzzer to beat rival Casady after the Cyclones connected on 3 seconds earlier to tie the game.

No. 12 – Edmond Santa Fe goes for 2-point conversion vs. Edmond North and fails

Heck of a way to start your head coaching career, no? Bruce Gowen, in his first game with the Wolves, elects to go for a two-point conversion and the win. The Wolves were down 14-0 but rallied to make it 14-13. Gowen was riding momentum and had total confidence his boys could pull it off. North’s Rickey Lawyer intercepted the conversion attempt.

No. 11 – Edmond North’s Casey Distaso upends Union’s Logon Collins in three-set marathon

You know I’m a tennis aficionado, for better or worse. This was everything everybody thought it would be in the state semifinals. Collins earned the first set and was up 3-0 in the second. But Distaso, who decided to play specifically for this weekend, rallied back to earn the second set, 7-5. He never looked back in winning the third.

No. 10 – Bishop McGuinness boys basketball beat Carl Albert in OT in finals of McGuinness Classic

I love the basketball tournament weeks and this was no exception. The atmosphere was insane for the Irish and Titans and McGuinness’ Kevin Caruthers and CA’s Caleb Price were going back and forth in making one big shot after another. A Jameel Whitney block in OT spurred McGuinness to the victory.

Moment No. 8 saw Heritage pitcher Bob Kraft strike out 20 vs. rival Casady. Photo by John Clanton, The Oklahoman

No. 9 – Bishop McGuinness’ Emily Conrad and Whitney Ritichie become four-time champions

I feel like I’ve watched these two grow up the last three years. The Irish girls were dominant in all four years of their careers, never losing a match. Phenomenal stuff every time they went out there. Conrad will play at Abilene Christian while Ritchie will become the latest Irish player to play at OU.

No. 8 – Heritage Hall’s Bob Kraft strikes out 20 against Casady

Sometimes you stumble onto the greatness. Sure felt like it with this moment. Kraft struck out seven in two innings so figured it would be something special. He ended up recording 23 outs as two Ks got by the catcher. His variety of pitches is easily his strength. Heritage won, 8-1.

Moments 7-1 on Sunday.

You'd buy the video game with this cover, right?

The winter honors have started, and we’re going with a video game cover theme. Swimming kicked it off with boys swimmer of the year Narayan Naik of Heritage Hall and Lizzy Whitbeck of Bishop McGuinness.

Every year creates new problems. Last year was having all these great swimmers competing in the same event and SOMEone had to be left off the first team.

Not easy, never is.

This year was your Boys Swimmer of the Year. Oy, I debated this internally for a long time. On first glance, didn’t think there was anything that could be done to top Westmoore’s Dakota Wheeler.

But with Wheeler being sick, he didn’t have a great state meet. In fact, after looking at his times, it was rather average (for his ridiculous standards).

Then it became a showdown of two kids in a talented 5A crop: Naik and Typ Whinnery of Deer Creek. Both were absolutely dominant in winning their two individual events.

Both were absolutely dominant last year in earning two individual titles. Whinnery is headed to West Point and Naik is headed to Wyoming, so both are taking their own road in life.

I respect both kids.

Something needed to stand out. And what happened in the 200 free relay with the Chargers was what did it. Thought for sure it was going to be Bixby or Altus pulling that one out.

Heritage won by nearly three seconds in one of the best moments of the 5A competition. And when Narayan took the pool, the Chargers were down. When he left, yeah, Heritage had a good working margin.

Whinnery was easily the best Edmond swimmer this year, which is quite the feat in of itself considering the talent at Memorial, North and Santa Fe.

But as a general rule, don’t believe in co-winners. And went with Naik on this one.

The girls side was over 30 seconds after the 6A competition was done. Nobody had done anything to take the honor away from Whitbeck and that was that.

Looking at the rosters, losing a good crop of kids but returning some real studs, including another Naik (Naresh) on the horizon. Narayan believes Naresh is going to break any records he chooses to swim in.

Blatant plug time. For Narayan’s story, go here. For Whitbeck’s story, go here. For the boys’ first team capsules, go here. For the girls’ first team capsules, go here. For the boys roster, go here. For the girls roster, go here.

Up next: Matt Patterson and his look at wrestling.

I admit to almost forgetting about the Bishop McGuinness girls this season. The Irish were so dominant and knew they would be that I tried to look elsewhere for stories.

But when it comes down to it, it’s not the girls’ fault how talented they are. The four seniors (Lizzy Whitbeck, Danielle Pena, Amee Pena and Erin Gaffney) have done wonders for that program.

The girls close out as repeat champions and leaving quite the little legacy. Whitbeck has probably been the best girls swimmer the last two years, and she went out in style.

She is supposed to be this swimming phenom, and Classen’s Chelsea Ye has not disappointed in her first two years.

Ye was sensational in earning a pair of individual titles. And while she was thrilled about that, she was stoked to have three of her teammates there as well. It’s great to see what has happened with Classen swimming.

The best thing about these girls? They’re only going to get better as they get older.

Norman North’s Wilson Wei was among the first swimmers I’ve ever interviewed. Back when he was a freshman, I wrote a story about how freshman swimmers make big impacts.

And Wei has been solid throughout his career but took it to another level as a junior. He needed to step up as a leader, and he has.

And just like Ian McKenzie last year, Wei finally got that individual championship, winning the 200 IM. He was sensational in the first 100 and took away all the drama in the race.

Dakota Wheeler wasn’t feeling his best, but you sure couldn’t tell by the way he performed at that state swimming championships.

Wheeler is an absolute freak in the pool, easily winning the 100 butterfly and breaststroke. He’s been huge for Westmoore and has represented the Jaguars program admirably.

Wheeler will continue his career at South Dakota.

The good times continue to roll for the Altus boys swimming team. From the responses I’ve had in the ol’ inbox, it’s like the entire town was at the Aquatic Center at Oklahoma City Community College last weekend in support of their Bulldogs.

Here are some photos from Saturday. The first one is the 400 Free Relay squad of Brady George, Daniel Robbins, Drew Thomas and Michael Rogers (don’t know why it cropped funny). The second one is just the boys celebrating their title.

But since Jan. 19, PC North has won nine of 11 games, with the only losses to top-five teams Putnam City and Edmond Santa Fe.

Devin Harris put together one of his better weeks to earn POW honors, averaging 21.5 points in wins over PC West and Mustang to close the regular season.

Harris, an outstanding leaper who plays an important role in the Panthers’ rebounding efforts, scored 24 against the Patriots — including four 3-pointers — and had 19 against Mustang.

Other contenders

Jade Hardy, Yukon: Coming on strong lately, Hardy had 21 points as Yukon knocked off Choctaw 57-54 on Friday night to send the Millerettes into the playoffs on a high note.

David Glidden, Mustang: His 18 points led the Broncos to a win and season sweep of Yukon in Canadian County Bedlam. Not a bad week, culminating with a scholarship offer and the acceptance of that offer to play football at Oklahoma State in 2011.

RonQuis Lewis, Putnam City: His numbers weren’t daunting (12 points) but the 6-foot-6 junior was clutch at the free throw line and on the boards in PC’s upset of top-ranked Edmond Santa Fe on Friday.

Amric Fields, Kevin House and Kyndall Dudley, PC West: House and Dudley each came through with their best games of the season, scoring 19 and 22 points, respectively. But Fields was an offensive monster in picking up the slack for the absent Tyler Neal. Fields averaged 26.3 points per game in three games during the week.

Danielle Bounds, PC West: A solid week ended with a 21-point effort on Saturday as PC West nearly pulled off an upset over Choctaw.

Swimmers of the Week

Aimee Creger, Mustang: A freak of nature as Creger had less than 60 days of in-pool training and qualified for state in two events, placing seventh and eighth.

Carli Wentworth, Mustang: Placed seventh in the 100 Breaststroke at the state tournament.

Madalyn Reeves, Jaime Rateliff, Mustang: Teamed with Creger and Wentworth in the 200 Free Relay to place seventh.

Jessica McDaniel, Yukon: Being the first and only Yukon swimmer to qualify for state wasn’t her only accomplishment as McDaniel, a freshman, placed 16th in the 50 Freestyle and 100 Breaststroke.

Greg Penny, Mustang: Scored all of Mustang’s team points at the state championships by placing 15th in the 100 Breaststroke.

Clinton Alonzo, Seungyoen Han, Dylan Matthews, Tyler Westeler, Putnam City: Quartet swam more than a second better in the consolation final of the 200 Free Relay, placing 15th.

Alex Ballard, Southmoore
Swimming
Just a freshman, Ballard rose to the occasion at state, finishing second in the 200 IM and 100 backstroke.

Kimmie Reneau, Westmoore
Swimming
Showed she’s worth the hype, placing third in the 100 backstroke and fifth in the 50 Free at state.

You have to watch Deer Creek swimmer Typ Whinnery to truly appreciate what he does as his schedule is absolutely jacked up.

The 500 freestyle is easily the most taxing event at the state championships. But he doesn’t wait that much time before hitting the 100 breaststroke.

It didn’t matter Saturday as Whinnery was able to earn two more titles and he’s get another honor, being named the Edmond Player of the Week.

Whinnery has been good for so long that I didn’t have much more to add on him, but he gave me some ammo when his goggles fell off during the prelims of the 100 breaststroke. It hurt his time immensely, but man did he ever show up in the finals.

Whinnery makes it look so easy, and he did everything he could for Deer Creek swimming. He will be going to West Point in the fall.

Other contenders

Crista Riggs, Santa Fe, Swimming: If finishing second in the 100 butterfly and fourth in the 200 IM wasn’t enough, she was named Swimmer of the Year by the coaches. ESF was fifth.

Sean Simpson, John Alba, Zane Gray, Ford Parsons, North, Swimming: Set the tone early with a thrilling 200 Medley Relay victory at state, beating Union by .06. Huskies placed second as a team.

Abbie Imes, North, Swimming: Best sprinter in Edmond, placing third in the 50 and 100 freestyle events at state. Huskies placed third.

Kaitlin Kliewer, Memorial, Swimming: Placed fifth in both of her individual events at state as Bulldogs placed respectable fourth.

North, Memorial, Santa Fe, Swimming: Overall, the teams did a great job this year. In the girls, they were 3-5 with North third, Memorial fourth and Santa Fe fifth. North boys were second, Memorial 10th and Santa Fe 12th.

Courtney Walker, Santa Fe, Basketball: Unreal outing vs. North and followed up with solid win against Putnam City.

Alie Decker, Memorial, Basketball: The sophomore is slowly starting to turn more heads than just mine as Bulldogs had three-win week.

Emily Davis, North, Basketball: Her offense has vastly improved, and she was the leading scorer in a bounce back win against Putnam West.

Ashley Gibson, Deer Creek, Basketball: One of the best freshmen in the state, period. Led way in win at Shawnee.

Garrett Hermanski, Deer Creek, Basketball: Busted out of a mini-slump with a huge 32-point outing in victory at Shawnee.

Mike Menzel and Daniel Emesiani, North, Basketball: Can’t have one without the other as two seniors have represented team proudly all year.

Obi Emegano, Memorial, Basketball: Stomach virus was no match for Emegano, who came up big in a three-win week for Bulldogs.

Josh Richardson, Santa Fe, Basketball: Another tough road loss for Wolves, but Santa Fe is definitely ready for the postseason.

Zac Dunlop, Bryant Preston, Heath Boyd, Nolan Boyd, Alex Christensen, Deer Creek, Wrestling: These boys will represent the Antlers at the state tournament this weekend and Heath has a No. 1 seed (I’ll be there all weekend).

Josh Breece, Ry Huff, Memorial, Wrestling: These boys will represent the Bulldogs at the state tournament this weekend (I’ll be there).

Sam Eccles, Hunter Bright, Josh Durham, Sean Scruggs, Alec Warren, Bryce Hendricks, Austin Schafer, Virgil Walker, North, Wrestling: These boys will represent the Huskies at wrestling and Josh, Alec and Austin all have No. 1 seeds (I’ll be there).

Brett Dunning, Tyler Shaw, Santa Fe, Wrestling: These boys will represent the Wolves at the state tournament this weekend (I’ll be there).

This is the first class I feel like I’ve watched grow up. I remember watching Lizzy Whitbeck as a sophomore at the state tournament.

As good as she was, she was only the third best swimmer in her normal practice group as her sister, Katie, and Edmond Memorial star Samantha Woodward had her beat.

Flash forward to this year, and I don’t think there is a better girls swimmer in the state. She just carries herself around with so much confidence because she knows her abilities.

And while I’m giving the Private schools Player of the Week to Lizzy Whitbeck, it could really go to the entire Irish girls swimming team.

Seniors Danielle and Amee Pena and Erin Gaffney all played big roles in giving the team its second straight Class 5A state championship.

Whitbeck plans to walk-on at Arkansas, where Katie is at. I think she’ll be just fine. Lizzy won the 200 IM and 100 breaststroke and was also named the Swimmer of the Year by the coaches.

Spoiler alert: she has one more award coming to her from this writer as well.

The senior quartet also won two relays, the 200 Medley and the 400 Free. In other words, they started the show with a title and closed it out with one.

Other contenders

Narayan Naik, Heritage Hall, Swimming: Concluded a great career for the Chargers with wins in the 200 IM and 100 backstroke and was also named the Swimmer of the Year by the coaches. Chargers placed a solid third.

Naresh Naik, John Byford and Matt Veneklasen, Heritage, Swimming: Combined with Narayan to pull off an upset and win the 200 Free Relay at state. Chargers placed third as a team overall.

Ryan Bass, Pat Carver, Clint Edgeman, Bishop McGuinness, Wrestling: These boys will represent the Irish at the state tournament this weekend (I’ll be there).

Liana Garcia, Mt. St. Mary’s, Basketball: It’s been a rough season for the Rockets, but came up with a huge upset of Jones, led by Garcia’s 14 points Saturday.

Christian Hill, Mt. St. Mary’s, Basketball: The Rockets have great depth, and Hill is just one of many options for Lenny Hatchett’s club. He led the way in a win vs. Jones.

Elaine Cooper, Irish, Basketball: McGuinness easily won 73-8 against Classen with Cooper and others gaining some valuable playing time. Cooper had 12 points.

Matt Christiansen and Jameel Whitney, Irish, Basketball: Christiansen was big in a win vs. Ardmore and Whitney led balanced attack in victory against Classen.

Jack Warren, OCS, Basketball: In a gritty battle against Stroud, Warren had 20 points for the Saints in the road victory.

Murphy Burns, Heritage Hall, Basketball: The Chargers went to Piedmont and took out a solid Wildcats club in district action.

Here is what I originally wrote after the Bishop McGuinness girls portion of my Class 5A state championship swimming story:

In contrast, Altus edged out defending champion Bixby in an exciting boys race to claim its first championship.

Drew Thomas won the 50 free and was a part of both relay victories to lead the way for Altus.

The Spartans and Bulldogs were engaged in a great back-and-forth battle all throughout the competition.

The two teams were expected to be the top squads in Class 5A, and they showed why.

Winning the two relays proved to be crucial to Altus’ success, and the Bulldogs and their supporters had every reason to celebrate.

The Altus girls didn’t do too bad, either, as Lilli Thomas won two individual titles.

And here is what we’re told to me by Altus resident Danny Robbins:

“Our team won despite not having a pool to practice in for 11 days due to the huge ice storm that occurred on January 25th which kept our pool closed until February 8th. We don’t have a school pool. We share the pool with the City of Altus which restricts the amount of pool time our swimmers get to practice anyway. Throw in the ice storm and it is truly a miracle that we were able to win.”

Altus impressed many coaches early in the season, and that’s why I knew it would be a two-team race between Altus and Bixby. And on championship Saturday, Altus brought the goods.

Having trouble getting the photos from Robbins to show up, but I’m working on it.

That was really the No. 1 thing that was going through my head this weekend at the state swimming championships at the Aquatic Center at Oklahoma City Community College: the split has worked.

I wasn’t sure if making a 6A and 5A division was going to work. It still hurts some of the 5A stars (like Bishop McGuinness’ Lizzy Whitbeck or Heritage Hall’s Narayan Naik, to name a few) as we don’t get to see what they could do against the bigger class.

However, think it’s safe to say the positives outweigh the negatives in a huge way. It goes beyond giving everyone the belief they can win. What it’s done that it’s even more important as it’s led to more kids coming out BECAUSE they believe they can win.

But last year was such a mess with the pool being overcrowded and people not getting to see their kids swim that a change had to be made.

It was as 5A was during the morning/afternoon Saturday with 6A during the afternoon/night. And I thought it was a rousing success that really eliminated a lot of the problems from previous years.

The 5A kids and crowd were great, and the 6A kids/crowd were fantastic, too. It’s tough to top those Jenks kids gettin’ all fired up. Jacob Pearce may have stolen the show with his enthusiasm.

You know who had it the worst? The minority of people who had to stay there all day. The timers, stat crew, volunteers, media (me), it’s an adjustment.

Because just when you think you’re done happy with everything (like after 5A), you had to perk up again once those 6A kids rolled in because they were ready and deserved to get the same type of coverage. The kids had a great time and that is all that matters.

Boneman’s thoughts and observations

- Altus barely edges Jenks as the story of the weekend. We’ve seen John Turner’s kids do this before, but Altus winning the 5A boys title was great drama. Bixby and Altus were battling all day Saturday, and it led to a fantastic finish and the first title for the Bulldogs.

- Jenks just has that other gear it can go to. A lot of that credit has to go to Turner, who gets those kids going. They want to try so hard for him, and it shows in the championship round.

- The Irish girls was a storybook ending as the four seniors (Lizzy Whitbeck, Danielle Pena, Amee Pena, Erin Gaffney) close out their careers with a title. Coach Ann Whitbeck wasn’t there as she was watching her other daughter, Katie, compete in the SEC championships for Arkansas. Ann missed Katie’s competition last year and since you can’t be in two places at once, there ya go.

- There were so many dominant performances. That might be what stands out the most. It almost became predictable to who would win because it was the same kids. Swimmers like Naik, Chickasha’s Isaac McKnight, Classen’s Chelsea Ye, Deer Creek’s Typ Whinnery, Jenks’ Pearce and Montana Gaffney, Union’s Eastman Holloway and Megan Myers, Altus’ Lilli Thomas and Drew Thomas.

- And once again, Westmoore’s Dakota Wheeler had a big weekend. He deserved to be Swimmer of the Year, and he’s a pretty obvious choice for this writer as well.

- Champions: 5A – Boys (Altus), Girls (Bishop McGuinness). 6A – Boys and girls (Jenks). Swimmers of the Year: 5A (Whitbeck and Naik). 6A (Wheeler and Crista Riggs, Edmond Santa Fe).

- Cox TV did a great job of doing what they needed to without interrupting the flow of the event. Cox, generally, is fantastic at keeping things as close to normal as possible.

- Special thanks to the Deer Creek volunteers for all the help in the 5A competition and to the Jenks’ helpers for their assistance in 6A. Can’t do it without the help of these great people.

- I shot a boatload of videos, so look for vids with Chelsea Ye, Lizzy Whitbeck, Typ Whinnery, Wilson Wei and Dakota Wheeler on NewsOK.

- And in case you missed it, here is the last four days of coverage. Started Friday with a story on the Selby brothers (Mitchell and Preston), go here. Then after day 1, a story on how popular swimming is becoming, go here. The 5A championship story on the Irish girls, go here. The 6A championship story on Wilson Wei of Norman North finally getting that title, go here. And a hodgepodge of goodies from 5A and 6A, go here.

And that concludes a long (but enormously fun) day of swimming. In 6A, John Turner once again shows that I know nothing as Jenks sweeps the boys and girls championships.

Swimmers of the Year: Girls – Crista Riggs of Santa Fe; Boys – Dakota Wheeler of Westmoore.

That’s how I would sum up Day 1 at the state swimming championships as it was the usual suspects doing what they do best.

A couple of local teams really performed about as well as they possibly could in Kent Nicholson’s Norman clubs and Steve Riggs’ Edmond teams.

Edmond North, in particular, has put itself right in the thick of things going against Jenks.

One things Riggs pointed out, which is oh so true, is Jenks has a history of not going all out Friday and then turning it up a whole ‘nother level on championship Saturday.

So maybe it’s a little fool’s gold on my part believing the race is going to be ultra-competitive. Who knows?

My main piece focused on the fact that swimming is doing about as well as its ever done right about now.

There are so many great stories out there, so many new teams popping up, it is really rollin’ right now.

Splitting up the state into 5A and 6A has done wonders as has the state qualifying times being lowered. It’s given kids more incentive to participate, and boy have they ever.

But really, when you look at the team leaderboard, it’s going about like you would think.

Edmond North and Jenks will battle it out for the boys in 6A while Jenks is doing just fine with the girls. Bartlesville took a big hit having its 400 free relay team disqualified. That’s a huge blow for the Bruins.

Bishop McGuinness is running away with 5A (as expected) while my day one inclination says Bixby is going to take the boys, but Altus isn’t too shabby.

From there, it’s kinda the usual suspects showing up. Kids like Dakota Wheeler of Westmoore, Narayan Naik of Heritage Hall, Isaac McKnight of Chickasha, Paul Le of Southmoore, they’re all performing at a high level.

But you know what a day of ‘expected’ means? Championships that are going to be decided by the absolute best. Can’t ask for much more than that.

Academic achievement awards: 5A – Bishop McGuinness (girls) and Bixby (boys). 6A – Edmond North (girls) and Jenks (boys).

Good to rest up tonight and be ready to go Saturday morning. Should be a long (but fun) day of swimming.

Still crankin’ out the stories and notes, but the results are in. Much more analysis later.

Is it already that time? Guess so as we begin four straight weeks of winter sports championships. And it all kicks off Friday with swimming.

It’s amazing (in a good way) how far swimming has come in just the three years I’ve been covering the sport. I believe we’re starting to see the trickle down effect of the success of former Edmond Memorial phenom Samantha Woodward.

Last year it led to separating into two classes and gave a lot more kids the incentive to want to go out for the team and compete.

But we were so crowded at the Aquatic Center that something had to change, and it did. For those that don’t know, the 5A finals will be Saturday morning while the 6A will be in the late afternoon.

And now I’m going to have some company as the boys at Cox (Mike Wolfe and Steve Marshall) will be at OCCC for the 6A finals. Either I’m following them around or they’re following me around as we’ve crossed paths several times in the last few weeks.

With that said, what are we in store for this weekend?

- The 6A race doesn’t feel like much of a race as Jenks is the heavy favorite in both the boys and girls. I’ll give the Edmond North boys a slight chance if all the pieces fit correctly. But John Turner does such a great job with that Trojans program. Like all the greats, they don’t rebuild, they just reload.

- Same can be said for the 5A girls as it is going to be tough to dethrone the Bishop McGuinness girls. This team is more than Lizzy Whitbeck, but I just can’t see them wilting under the pressure because of the leadership of Whitbeck. This team is so dominant.

- The 5A boys race should be fun. You know Bixby is going to be a major player. Edmond coach Steve Riggs told me he’ was impressed with how good Altus was. And in the private sector, Heritage Hall has some good talent and might just disrupt everything.

- One swimmer you need to see: Dakota Wheeler, Westmoore. He just makes it look so easy. He was my Swimmer of the Year last year, and it’s going to be tough for anyone to take that crown from him this year. He’s a real joy to watch perform.

- Is this the year for Norman North’s Wilson Wei? He’s been knocking on the door the last two years. This should be the year he starts to separate himself from the pack, so we’ll see. Same goes with Southmoore’s Paul Le.

- Looking forward to see Alex Ballard of Southmoore and Westmoore’s Kimmy Reneau. Heard amazing things about the girls from their coaches but haven’t actually seen them perform yet.

- Classen’s Chelsea Ye and Chickasha’s Isaac McKnight will continue to deliver the goods in programs that aren’t exactly swimming hotbeds.

- The Edmond schools are loaded with talent, and I’m wondering how they’ll play into the 6A race. Don’t be surprised to see names like Kaitlin Kliewer (Memorial), Crista Riggs (Santa Fe), Dylan Anderson (North) or any number of other boys and girls come up big this weekend.

- Wrote a big preview story on Harding Charter Prep’s Mitchell and Preston Selby, so check that out in Friday’s Oklahoman. Other than that, it’s just about time. See ya by the pool Friday.

It was one month ago today that the Santa Fe girls were able to take out the North girls and earn a commanding lead in the Metro Conference.

Ever since, Kevin Korstjens’ girls have not lost. In fact, besides one barn-burner with Memorial, the Huskies have looked like a team possessed.

It continued last week, with a big (and relatively easy) 3-0 week that has earned the team Edmond Player of the Week.

Junior Elizabeth Donohoe, of course, has been sensational. There are certain players where you just don’t have any more to say about, and she’s one of them.

The Huskies have received good balance from TaNita Dewberry and Anna Kimsey while the backcourt has stepped up its offensive production.

Combine a couple of Santa Fe losses with the HUGE loss of Jimi Blagowsky, and all the sudden, Tuesday’s game is now for the conference championship (I’ll be there).

Other contenders

Courtney Walker, Santa Fe, Basketball: Trying to steady the ship without Blagowsky, Walker has been solid as always but will need to be even better.

Alie Decker, Memorial, Basketball: Hey, don’t forget about this freaky sophomore, either. Decker was phenomenal in a blowout win against Moore.

Ashley Gibson, Deer Creek, Basketball: The freshman might be the best 6th man in the class and nearly helped lead Antlers to Suburban Conference title.

Mike Menzel, North, Basketball: Had a huge outing in ending the losing streak against Choctaw and followed with a solid game in win against Yukon.

Mahlon Jones, Santa Fe, Basketball: After tough loss to PC West, Jones made sure team bounced back in wins vs. Yukon and Choctaw.

Obi Emegano, Memorial, Basketball: Nothing out of the ordinary but can make a statement Monday (I’ll be there) against Southmoore.

Hayden Wagner, Deer Creek, Basketball: Wagner hit five 3s in the Antlers’ biggest win of the season against Western Heights. To put it in perspective, the Jets won the Suburban Conference title.

Typ Whinnery, Deer Creek, Swimming: Dominated the pool at the Suburban Conference championships and is easily one of the best all-around swimmers in the state.

Heath and Nolan Boyd, Deer Creek, Wrestling: The Boyds were great at Dual State, helping lead the Antlers to a second-place finish.

Sam Eccles, North, Wrestling: Earned a fall in North’s loss to Union in the semifinals of Dual State, but Huskies have had tremendous season.

Believe it or not, there are other conferences than the Mid-State and Metro. Special thanks to Harrah coach Guy Worth for all the results.

In fact, let’s start with a note from Worth on the event:

Thought you might be able to use these results.  The Harrah girls won their 9th consecutive team championship and the Harrah boys won their 10th consecutive team championship. Kayte Jasper from Carl Albert was the girl’s MVP and Isaac McKnight from Chickasha was the boy’s MVP.  Isaac set three conference records.  He swam a 21.96 in the lead leg of the 200 free relay.  I believe that is one of the top two fastest times in the state in that event.

***

Harrah won 16 of the 22 events while I don’t have anything new to add about McKnight. He put Chickasha swimming on the map, and he’s only getting better. He’s terrific.

The other thing that stands out is the Deer Creek boys. Typ Whinnery, Logan Testi, Slater Pennington make up a great trio of boys.

Good stuff all around, and here are all your results.

I remember two years ago how excited I was to see all these great young swimmers at the state championship meet. It’s always fun to meet the young kids because you can grow your relationship with them from the start.

Some of those young stars are now the class of the state now. I’m talking about names like Chickasha’s Isaac McKnight, Norman North’s Wilson Wei, Southmoore’s Paul Le, etc.

But from looking at the top qualifying times this season and now the results of the Mid-State and Metro conference meets this weekend, here comes a new group of kids looking to dominate.

Right now Southmoore freshman Alex Ballard is standing out amongst the crowd. She’s been fantastic all season and proved it with a big-time outing at the Mid-State meet. She won the 200-yard freestyle and the 500 free.

She was dominant in both events, and ironically, Norman sophomore Jacque Medina was second in each of those events.

From there, I think you have to go to Kimmie Reneau of Westmoore. The sophomore won the 50 free and 100 backstroke and gives Westmoore another star to go with Dakota Wheeler.

The Edmond schools are littered with underclassmen that are already dynamite. From Carlie Pearson to Sean Simpson to Sara Riggs and up and down the lineup, the best is yet to come for them.

Norman schools, too. From Medina to Bradley Quy, it’s incredible how deep the Norman teams are starting to become.

In fact, of the 32 individual titles in the two conferences, 11 of the Metro titles were underclassmen and 14 of the Mid-State were underclassmen for 25 of the 32 going to non-seniors. Westmoore’s Wheeler was the only senior to win titles at the Mid-State event.

But for how great the youth have been, how will they react to the biggest stage of them all at state? Though most get to swim at the Aquatic Center at OCCC during the season, there is no atmosphere that can equal the state meet.

Believe me, I’m working on year No. 3 of being the swimming dude, it gets a lot more crazy at that pool than anyone would think possible. It’s a fun weekend.

Jeannie Ramon, Norman

The junior forward came on strong in two games for the fourth-ranked Tigers. Wednesday, Ramon scored a game-high 19 points to go along with eight rebounds and six steals as Norman routed Edmond Memorial 52-31 to avenge one of its season losses.

Then on Friday, Ramon had game-high honors again, scoring 19 in a 63-36 win over Southmoore.

Other standouts:

Olivia Meek, Norman

Girls basketball

Meek helped the Tigers wallop Southmoore Friday, scoring a season-high 14 points.

Chelsea Key, Norman

Girls basketball

Key scored a combined 22 points in two games last week, including 12 in a win over Southmoore.

Kamra King, Norman

Girls basketball

King scored in double-digits in both of Norman’s victories last week. The junior point guard averaged 15.5 points in the two games.

Jarrod Boersma, Norman

Boys basketball

Boersma was unstoppable in the Tigers’ loss to Southmoore Friday, scoring a game-high 26 points. The 26 points were a season high and also nearly totaled half of the Tigers’ team total (53 points).

Hayley Scott, Norman North

Girls basketball

Scott led the T-Wolves with 10 points in a loss to No. 1 Midwest City Friday.

Madison Marquardt, Norman North

Girls basketball

Marquardt, the T-Wolves’ point guard, had seven points and six assists against the top-ranked Bombers.

Jared Beal, Norman North

Boys basketball

Beal scored a team-high 12 points in the Timberwolves’ 44-40 loss to Midwest City Friday night.

Dominic Porter, Norman North

Boys basketball

Porter was North’s only other player in double figures against Midwest City, netting 10 points.

Wilson Wei, Norman North

Swimming

Wei won an individual conference title, a relay conference title and led Norman North to the team championship at the Mid-State Conference championships Saturday at the OCCC Aquatic Center.

I’m giving this week’s Edmond Player of the Week to North football star Xavier Smith but really this goes out to all the men and women that signed to play college ball last week. And boy did the Edmond schools have a bevy of kids who did just that.

The atmosphere at the signing days were tremendous stuff, and I’m glad I got to be a part of so many of them last Wednesday.

Smith made it official, signing with Missouri after months of being committed to the Tigers. You could see how relieved he was that it was all over when talking to him.

The crown jewel for each school: Santa Fe – Brian Mills (Princeton); Deer Creek – Garrett Sullivan (UCO); Memorial – Nelson Medeiros (Fort Hays State).

But it wasn’t just football as North teammates Carley Yates and Camille Sanders will play soccer together at Oklahoma, Santa Fe’s Drew Hall will be going to Oklahoma City while Memorial’s Madi Hillis is headed to Kansas for soccer. The list goes on and on, so just want to congratulate everyone for their accomplishments.

Other contenders

Obi Emegano, Memorial, Basketball: A couple of solid road wins for the Bulldogs (at Norman on Wednesday and at Del City on Friday). Think this team has ‘sleeper’ written all over it.

Alie Decker, Memorial, Basketball: After a brutal stretch, Shane Coffey’s girls ended their four-game losing streak with an emphatic win at Del City with Decker leading the way.

Josh Richardson, Santa Fe, Basketball: Santa Fe is taking everyone’s best shot and keeps responding with the W. It’s not always pretty, but the junior has helped keep things together.

Anna Kimsey, North, Basketball: Like I said in a previous blog, you know Elizabeth Donohoe and TaNita Dewberry are going to bring it, but Kimsey’s consistency will go a long way for the Huskies.

Typ Whinnery, Deer Creek, Swimming: The Antlers still don’t have much depth but with Whinnery and Logan Testi anchoring the team, they’ll play a role in the 5A race.

North swimming: Big weekend for the Huskies at the Metro Conference championships. Both the boys and girls won their respective title, and the boys are absolutely on a roll right now.

Memorial girls swimming: Only girls team to break the 500-point mark in winning the Mid-State title and reload year after year despite the heavy losses.

Big weekend in swimming as the Mid-State and Metro conferences had their championships. The Edmond Memorial girls once again made a statement, taking the Mid-State conference title and the mythical overall title, edging out rival Edmond North.

In the boys, the Huskies wouldn’t be denied. Nothing to really add on that front as North is so loaded that it’s tough to see how it can be beat. However, second and third belonged to Norman North and Norman, respectively.

Kent Nicholson has done an unbelievable job with the Norman Schools programs. The state meet in less than two weeks should be a lot of fun.

The team results aren’t grouped by conferences, so your Mid-State conference champs are Memorial (girls) and Norman North (boys). Your Metro champs are the Edmond North boys and girls.

**Graduated last year, currently enrolled at Kansas State

Rare occasion where the stars aligned and I could hit a swim meet before next month’s state meet.

The Edmond City Championship is such a unique event because coach Steve Riggs basically does nothing for it.

He lets the seniors pick the lineups and who will swim what. He lets his assistants handle the meet coaching.

And Riggs gets to enjoy the night and announce.

The one thing I’m going to take from this event is how good the North boys swim team is.

I’m not even sure if there is a best swimmer for the Huskies. I look at Joshua McPherson, Ford Parsons, Sean Simpson and Dylan Anderson and wow, that team is loaded.

Anderson had a big night and gave Riggs even more to think about in terms of where to put him for state.

Santa Fe was a little off on this night, namely because Crista Riggs wasn’t at her best. She was at all-state band last week and missed out on some time.

Memorial’s Kaitlin Kliewer had a good meet and the Memorial girls upset the North girls and picked up a big win.

Steve Riggs said this meet brought out the best in some of the swimmers. His goal was to have some entertaining races, and he thought it was achieved. I concur.

The team’s combined scores were: 1. North 894; 2. Memorial 802; 3. Santa Fe 445.

And here are the individual results.

I can’t write a story like I did in Monday’s paper and then act like I can differentiate between who is the best player on the Deer Creek girls basketball team.

For that reason, giving it to the group as a whole as Totsy Manning’s girls became the first Deer Creek team to win the Bruce Gray Invitational.

If you didn’t check it out, here’s the story.

After day 1, it was Ashley Gibson. She’s got some serious game as a freshman and is close to being ready to take over already.

But her second game was marred by foul trouble, and senior A.J. Miller was incredible, including hitting the game-winner in the final 10 seconds.

However, you can’t discount what sophomore Jalyn Jackson did in the championship. She was a force in the first half and finished with 17 points.

Older sister, Jasey Jackson, wasn’t too bad, either. She hit four 3s in the semifinals and hit the championship-winning free throw against Putnam North.

So, who do you choose? You don’t, but the balance of Deer Creek is phenomenal. It really is pick your poison when you face these girls.

Other contenders

Obi Emegano, Memorial, Basketball: Big week for the Bulldogs with wins at Norman North and win vs. rival Edmond North. Emegano has been fantastic and could claim next week’s award with big outing Tuesday at Santa Fe (I’ll be there).

Elizabeth Donohoe, North, Basketball: One of the most consistent players in the state, Donohoe came up HUGE in a good win in a great game against Memorial.

Hayden Wagner, Deer Creek, Basketball: Wagner drove it to the hole strong this weekend and showed he is more than just a 3-point shooter. That added dimension will be huge for the Antlers.

Josh Richardson and Mahlon Jones, Santa Fe, Basketball: Heartbreak city with 2OT loss to Tulsa East Central on Saturday, but Richardson and Jones were great last week. Chance to bounce back Tuesday vs. Bulldogs.

Courtney Walker, Santa Fe, Basketball: Short week for Paul Bass’ club, but Walker was outstanding in the win against Putnam City.

Kaitlin Kliewer, Memorial, Swimming: She took home a pair of individual titles in the Edmond/Moore showdown last week.

Ford Parsons, North, Swimming: Equaled Kliewer’s feat on the boys side with a couple of titles as North continues to be a team to watch.

North wrestling: Big-time showing by Huskies at Jay Hancock Tournament at Yukon. Huskies placed second, had two champions (Josh Durham and Hunter Bright) and had two runner-up finishes (Virgil Walker and Alec Warren).

So far the swimming season is going about as expected. The familiar names are dominating like they’re supposed to while the usual teams are performing well.

Thursday features the Edmond schools against the Moore schools. In talking to Edmond coach Steve Riggs, he talked about this (jokingly) being called ‘Dogs vs. Cats.’

Edmond: Bulldogs (Memorial), Huskies (North) and Wolves (Santa Fe). Moore: Lions (Moore), Jaguars (Westmoore) and SaberCats (Southmoore).

There are a lot of good basketball tournaments starting Thursday, but if you get some time and want to see some of the best swimmers, this is a good place to be at Oklahoma City Community College at 6 p.m.

Westmoore has a couple of dynamite swimmers in Dakota Wheeler and Kimmie Reneau. Wheeler was my Swimmer of the Year last year and hasn’t missed a beat this year.

Reneau has surprised me, but her results have been consistent, and you have to think she’s going to make some noise next month.

And with Southmoore, you have Paul Le. He’s been a star since his freshman year and nothing has changed now that he is a junior. He’s matured and is really starting to put some space between him and the rest of the field.

No team (in the greater OKC area) has as much depth as Edmond North. The Huskies are loaded. Katie Sabatino is leading the girls while you could argue John Alba, Sean Simpson and/or Dylan Anderson are anchoring the boys.

Memorial is still solid with the likes of Nick Welch and Kaitlin Kliewer and Santa Fe is definitely surging. Look for a story on Santa Fe’s Crista Riggs in Thursday’s paper.

If you have swimming results (because I can’t get enough of them), send ‘em on over to BPrzybylo@opubco.com. Thanks in advance.

I had pretty much made up my mind that whoever stood out the most in the much-anticipated battle between the Edmond North and Edmond Santa Fe girls was going to win this week’s honor.

And as soon as the game was over, well, I knew I had my winner. Could there really have been another selection than Santa Fe’s Jimi Blagowsky? For her phenomenal outing, she is the Edmond schools Player of the Week.

It didn’t feel like a regular season game inside that gym Friday. It was an electric atmosphere that only serves a harbinger of things to come.

Blagowsky scored 24 points, and more than that, helped keep the team focused through a rough first half. The team looks to her for leadership, and she comes through.

We’re going to see how much leadership the team really has as it would only be natural for a letdown against Putnam City on Tuesday.

Other contenders

Heath Boyd, Deer Creek, Wrestling: A wrestler’s dream to be in the final match of the night where a win means a win in the dual. That was the case for Boyd, who earned a pin against Guthrie to claim a 33-29 victory to clinch the Suburban Conference.

Sean Simpson and Dylan Anderson, North, Swimming: Don’t look now, but the Huskies might be in contention for big things next month. Simpson and Anderson were sensational in a meet vs. Stillwater last week, each won a pair of individual crowns. Showdown with Moore Schools is this week.

Obi Emegano and Alie Decker, Memorial, Basketball: A couple of statement-making blowout wins by both Memorial squads with Emegano and Decker leading the way. Big tests coming up this week.

Mahlon Jones, Santa Fe, Basketball: Brought it early and often for the Wolves in rout of rival North, led team with 26 points.

Elizabeth Donohoe and TaNita Dewberry, North, Basketball: Blitzed Yukon before stubbing toe vs. Santa Fe. Night in and night out, very consistent performers.

Ashley Gibson, Deer Creek, Basketball: Not just a freshman that takes up space, Gibson is finding her groove at the right time for the Antlers.

Josh Durham, North, Wrestling: Seeded third at the Sand Springs Invitational, Durham claimed the 130-pound championship with a 5-2 win in the finals vs. Pawhuksa’s Cameron Kirk.

Former Putnam City North diver Amy Kilby was recently named the Western Athletic Conference’s Diver of the Week.

Kilby, a freshman at San Jose State, contributed sevenpoints with a second-place finish on the three-meter board and a third-place finish on the one-meter board in a 160-135 dual win at Cal State Bakersfield on Jan. 2. A day later, she produced a pair of wins from the one-meter board, getting 28 points to help the Spartans to a first-place finish at the University of San Diego Relay Invitational.

Kilby was a two-time state champion on the one-meter board before diving was discontinued as an OSSAA sport.

Bishop McGuinness coach Tondrell Durham gave little indications before the season that he thought sophomore Joe Edmonds could develop into something special.

Well, we haven’t had to wait that long. No sir, not at all as Edmonds has been spectacular in the first eight games for the Irish.

Edmonds scored 31 points in two games in a pair of victories for McGuinness at the Deer Creek Festival, good enough to be named the Private Schools Player of the Week.

I don’t know if there is one thing that stands out about him, he’s just solid in just about every way possible. He’s got a nice little jump shot. He can move without the ball, but he’s not afraid to mix it up inside and get the big rebound.

Either way, the emergence of Edmonds and Matt Christiansen are two good reasons why Irish fans should be excited about what’s to come in 2010.

Other contenders

Cara Pugh, Irish, Basketball: With Caroline Cameron out for the season, Pugh is going to have to step up even more. She was good in her first test as the Irish won a pair of games at the Festival.

T.J. Holland, OCS, Basketball: Another kid with just all the tools to make something special happen. Holland and Jack Warren will have the Saints in position to make another run.

Jordan Gooch, OCS, Basketball: She was productive this weekend, but she’s on here more for her toughness and grit as it was a tough task for the OCS girls squad vs. the Irish and Deer Creek.

Irish girls swimming team: The defending 5A champions were able to beat Edmond Santa Fe in a meet last week and still look like the team to beat in 5A.

Ryan Shelley, Casady, Basketball: Another big-time outing by the senior, but the Cyclones haven’t been able to put together victories with ‘em. Shelley scored 28 in a loss to John Marshall.

Vincent Mason, Mt. St. Mary’s, Basketball: The Rockets outscored Christian Heritage 31-16 in the second half to cruise to a 21-point victory. Mason led the team with 14 points. MSM is now 5-0.

Could there be anyone else? After all I’ve said about Deer Creek’s Garrett Hermanski, is this really that big of a shock?

Great shooting, clutch free throws, poise under pressure and leading the team to two big wins is more than enough for Hermanski to win the Edmond Player of the Week.

He couldn’t be guarded on Saturday as he made seven 3-pointers. The seventh one had me laughing as coach Matt Bailey was asking him to pull it out and set up the offense.

But with the way he was playing last weekend, he got the greenlight whenever he wanted it. If Deer Creek can sustain this momentum into 2010, look out for the Antlers.

While Hermanski is definitely the go-to guy for this team, there are a lot of other key contributors that will help determine how good this team will be. Right now, hmm, looks like this team will be pretty dang good.

Other contenders

A.J. Miller, Deer Creek, Basketball: Miller kept the girls team together this weekend as DC went 1-1 at the Deer Creek Festival.

Elizabeth Donohoe and TaNita Dewberry, North, Basketball: After the shocking loss to Putnam City, the Huskies took out their frustrations on Stillwater with these two stars leading the charge.

Landon Jones and Ry Huff, Memorial, Wrestling: Each scored a fall as the Bulldogs defeated Putnam North in a dual last week.

Josh Richardson and Mahlon Jones, Santa Fe, Basketball: No Edmond Open hangover with this team as a good road win at Mustang closes out 2009 for the undefeated Wolves.

Shelbi McVay and John Alba, North, Swimming: In a big showdown against Bishop McGuinness, each won two individual events.

Nick Welch and Kaitlin Kliewer, Memorial, Swimming: Expected to take a dip this year, these two are making sure the Bulldogs remain in contention and each won an individual event vs. Irish.

The biggest reason for that success was the play of guard Porsche Young. The 5-foot-8 senior scored 23 points in a victory over Douglass, then poured in 28 to beat Northeast in the consolation final. Young is quick and she can score in a variety of ways. She’s at the heart of what stands to be a much improved Putnam City team this season.

Other candidates

Shon Williams, Yukon: Williams came up big throughout the Western Heights Invitational for the Millers, who battled injuries at times during the three-game stretch. Williams’ most impressive showing was the 17-point effort in Thursday’s rout of Harding Prep.

Amric Fields, PC West: The 6-foot-8 TCU signee did everything he could to bring the Patriots a championship at the Bartlesville Tournament. But with Broken Arrow draining 3s — 16 of them in all — Fields’ 33 points, combined with 20 from teammate Tyler Neal, wasn’t enough in the 74-40 loss.

Ashley Dunn, PC West: Dunn picked up the slack in Danielle Bounds’ absence with 17 points in a 42-19 win over Chickasha at the Millwood Tournament. It was the Lady Pats’ first win of the year, after multiple close calls.

Devin Harris, PC North: The senior averaged barely more than five points per game last season but put up 22 in last Tuesday’s 78-68 loss to No. 4 Edmond Santa Fe.

Wrestler of the week

Andrew Lambeth, Mustang: At 189, Lambeth recorded a pin just 19 seconds into his match as the Broncos knocked off Putnam City West, 42-18.

This could be another one of those names that you see on a weekly basis for this honor. I remember how good she was as a freshman, and she’s even better.

North junior Elizabeth Donohoe was named to the Edmond Open Super Five tournament team, was the team’s leading scorer in all three games. The Huskies won the loaded Edmond Open. Hmm, I guess that’s enough to win Edmond Player of the Week.

All joking aside, Donohoe is an electric player, one of the best in the state. She scored 22, 27 and 17 points in helping the Huskies to the title.

The 27 points came against a fesity Anadarko team while she scored 17 in the championship against Bishop McGuinness despite foul trouble.

The North girls are one loaded squad, but nobody anchors this team like Donohoe does. The girls didn’t like the runner-up finish they had last in the Edmond Open and did something about it.

Other contenders

Abbie Imes, North, Swimming: Just a freshman, but she had an impressive meet last Thursday. She won the 50 freestyle and the 100 free at the Norman/Edmond schools meet.

Alie Decker, Memorial, Basketball: Memorial entered the Edmond Open on a high after beating Norman, but the Bulldogs had to settle for fourth in the Open. Decker’s outings though put her on the Super Five team as well.

Tanita Dewberry and Anna Kimsey, North, Basketball: They get lost in the shuffle because of Donohoe, but they’re pivotal to the team’s success. Both played great post defense when they were asked to.

Crista Riggs, Santa Fe, Swimming: Helped ESF beat the Norman teams and won two individual titles.

Dylan Anderson, North, Swimming: Anderson is slowly emerging as one of the best in the state and took home two individual titles last week.

Josh Richardson, Santa Fe, Basketball: It was a trying week for Santa Fe after the death of a classmate, but the Wolves pulled it together in winning the Edmond Open.

Courtney Walker, Santa Fe, Basketball: The team was stunned by McGuinness in the first round but bounced back to take fifth. Walker was solid as usual, scoring 20 points against Jenks.

Hayden Wagner, Deer Creek, Basketball: Came up big in a win vs. Chickasha. Big chance to make some noise at the Deer Creek Festival.

Obi Emegano, Memorial, Basketball: Emegano continues to improve with each game and helped the Bulldogs to a third-place finish in the Open.

North wrestling team: A little dated, but the win against Yukon is still huge, exactly the type of statement you want to make early in the year.

There are no official OKRankings.com numbers on swimming, but the state’s top coaches have come together for their first rankings of the season.

All of this is definitely subject to change, especially with the huge meet Thursday at OCCC featuring the Norman and Edmond teams.

I spent about five minutes trying to think of some clever, swimming-related term for the word ‘preview’ and came up with nothing. Not one creative thing came to mind. I’m disappointed in myself.

As we continue to transition to the winter sports scene, I’ll be handling your swimming duties for the third year in a row.

Swimming was definitely a different animal with the addition of a Class 5A. I’ve expressed my feelings on this before. It’s good for schools, but for some (McGuinness’ Lizzy Whitbeck and Deer Creek’s Typ Whinnery come to mind) it takes away the chance to see how they can compete against everybody.

So who is going to make a splash this year?

It’s going to be the usual suspects when it comes to who is gunning for a team title. John Turner and Jenks are heavy favorites for both the boys and girls.

Turner was embroiled in controversy last year, and the Trojans rallied behind their coach. This year there are no such distractions, and Jenks appears to be ruling the pool once again.

Hot on its heels will be Tulsa Union and the Edmond schools. When it comes to the Edmond schools, coach Steve Riggs is excited to see what the Santa Fe team can do.

Since I’ve been covering the scene, North and Memorial have been strong contenders while the Wolves haven’t really made a dent.

Senior Crista Riggs had a huge state tournament and hopes to continue that momentum into the season. The Memorial boys took a huge hit. If the Bulldogs are going to compete, Nick Welch will have to step up as a leader.

And the Norman teams will be hanging around. This is the break out year for Wilson Wei. He was magnificent as a freshman and solid as a sophomore. Now as a junior, this is his time to become the star we all know he can be.

Chickasha’s Isaac McKnight and Westmoore’s Dakota Wheeler are more than just great friends, they might be the two best swimmers in the state.

Wheeler was my choice for Swimmer of the Year last year, and he might very well be a repeat winner.

Also in talking with Riggs, he told me to expect a banner year from Southmoore junior Paul Le. He made first team as a freshman but took a little dip last year. Excited to see what Rhonda Nelson’s clubs can produce.

Stillwater took a big hit (Alex Barto comes to mind), but the Pioneers should get stronger as the year goes on. Bartlesville should also be in the mix.

When it comes to 5A, the girls race sounds like it should be the Irish and then everybody else. If you haven’t seen Whitbeck swim, do yourself a favor and try to check her out before she’s gone. Erin Gaffney is another strong component of that team.

I focused on Classen’s Chelsea Ye for the preview because what she is doing for that school cannot be talked about enough. And it seems like she gets it. She realizes how important this is for Classen. She’s not Samantha Woodward (yet), but I’ve heard whispers that is not too far off.

Heritage Hall is poised to make a run for the title behind John Byford. This team looked like it was in good position to win it last year but faltered.

Kingfisher is also a big program on the rise. The Yellowjackets made some big strides last year and should be knockin’ on the door this time around.

Harrah took a big hit, but Guy Worth will have his teams ready and rarin’ to go. Bixby, of course, will also be in contention.

A new format for the finals after all the (rightful) complaints last year. 5A will swim first Saturday and then the 6A swimmers will go in the late afternoon/night. All it does is give me a long day and turn it into a marathon day.

There are no official rankings, but some of the top coaches have come together to come up with their own rankings. I believe next week is when Riggs said he would send me a first set of rankings.

Looking forward to another exciting year in the pool. Coaches, feel free to e-mail me with any thoughts, results, etc. Thanks in advance.

Here’s a few I’ve come up with. Let me know, either through a comment here or an e-mail (raber@opubco.com), if you have any others.

I’m sure there are plenty more I’ve missed but here are a few:

- Morrison and Shattuck’s 90-game winning streaks in football
- Tulsa Union’s and Jenks’ stranglehold on the 6A football title
-Asher and Owasso baseball dominance
-McGuinness girls cross country
-Bethel girls basketball state tournament streak
-Bartlesville boys swimming
-El Reno wrestling
-McGuinness girls tennis
-Cascia Hall boys tennis

“Derek is our main cog on offense,” Kingfisher coach Jeff Myers said. “Logan is a great athlete and he made things happen at times but he’s not our quarterback. Now we’ve not only gotten weaker at quarterback but we’ve gotten weaker at receiver because we’ve had to move Logan to quarterback.”

His loss had a huge impact on Kingfisher’s offense, albeit against a pretty good defensive team in Tuttle. But how much this impacts  the playoff race in their district  remains to be seen. Nault has some wheels but clearly doesn’t have much feel for playing quarterback which is a huge adjustment for a kid to make on the fly in the middle of the season.

A rather uneventful Day 1 from the OCA’s coaches clinic in Tulsa. Don’t remember from last year if that was the case as well, but it didn’t feel like there were as many coaches.

Then again, the setup is vastly different from how it is in Oklahoma City. Displays are scattered throughout the Marriott.

Didn’t see too many football coaches around but did catch up with Kingfisher coach Jeff Myers. And after talking to him about how this year’s team is, quickly turned the conversation to the “super” 3A class in 2010.

“Whoever wins that will definitely have deserved it. It’s going to be a dogfight every week.”

No doubt about that. In most cases in the playoffs, if you’re a top seed, you’re banking on winning comfortably in the first and second rounds.

After that, who knows? But if 3A pans out the way it should, not only will just about every playoff game be crazy in terms of intensity, but there will be a lot of perennial playoff contenders who probably won’t make the cut.

There should be more football and basketball coaches later in the week as it was a pretty slow day in that department.

That doesn’t mean I did find time to talk with people as two of my “babies,” swimming and tennis, here their coaches association meetings.

Big difference in tennis is coaches will be allowed to coach their players at all times as long as it doesn’t interfere with the flow of play.

This was tested out last year and worked during the regular season. It wasn’t utilized at regional and the state tournament.

The OTCA and the OSSAA have approved it, so that will be a new wrinkle. Don’t know why it took this long. I’ve never understood the whole “no coaching” during a tennis match. Where else could you see that?

As for swimming, the biggest cause of concern coming last year’s state tournament was the overcrowded-ness of it all.

Problem solved as Class 6A and 5A will be split up for the finals. The prelims will run the same way.

But for the final, 5A is going to start at 10:15 a.m., followed by 6A at 4:15 p.m. Yep, that means a long day for anyone who has to cover both of them (namely me), but it also means a long day for any coach that does both as Edmond coach Steve Riggs pointed out. He’s not one of them, but there are a few such as the Lawton trio of schools as well as Mid-Del (Midwest City, Del City and Carl Albert).

Also went to the swim meet. Swimming and wrestling have got to be the two sports where you don’t know what kind of shape the kids will be in.

There’s no cutting weight or anything like that and for some of them, it might be like four or five months since they’ve hit the pool or mat.

It was the first time it was at Bixby. Not bad for a school venue and appreciate the support the Bixby staff gave me in making sure I had everything I needed.

Altus coach Linda Wiginton was named the Coach of the Year while Jill Enge of Edmond Memorial and Nelson Head of Union were named the Girls and Boys Swimmer of the Year.

And for the record, the East won both portions of the competition.

Doesn’t All-State week feel like the official beginning of the upcoming school year, or is it just me?

Since us from the Oklahoma City area are making the trip to Tulsa, I guarantee you the Boneman will get lost driving at least once next week.

To go with all the coaches clinic activities, there will be a slew of all-state games.

So as a little precursor of what’s to come, here’s the schedule:

Monday: Golf at 8:30 a.m. at Mohawk Park GC; Small Baseball at 4:30 at J.L. Johnson Stadium (Oral Roberts); Large Baseball at 7 (same location); Swimming at 6 at Bixby High (that’s where I’ll be).

Tuesday: Tennis at 5:30 at the University of Tulsa (that’s where I’ll be); Small Volleyball at 6 at Broken Arrow High; Large Volleyball at 7:30 (same location); Wrestling at 8 at Union High.

Wednesday: At Oral Roberts’ Mabee Center – Small Girls Basketball at 7; Large Girls Basketball at 8:30.

Thursday: At Oral Roberts’ Mabee Center – Small Boys Basketball at 7; Large Boys Basketball at 8:30.

Friday: to cap it off, Football at 8 p.m. at Union High (that’s where I’ll be).

Cheerleading will also go on for the basketball and football events as well.

And before all of that, there will be a Hall of Fame ceremony Sunday at the Southern Hills Marriott Hotel in Tulsa at 6:30.

Ten coaches will be enshrined in the OCA Hall of Fame: Phil Elerick (Cashion); Leo Smallwood (Rattan); Jarel Hansen (Shattuck); Chris Gillespie (Talihina); Dan Crookham (Tulsa Edison); Bill Blankenship (Union); Edward “Buck” Chatham (Lone Grove); Alan Simpson (Byng). And being recognized for Distinguished Service: Charles St. John (Vian).

We tried something out last year and did a whole “Off to college” special. It worked out well, so starting Friday, those stories will be back.

I like these stories because this (and stuff like All-State games) gives you a chance to maybe write about that boy/girl you didn’t get the chance to during the season itself.

I’m doing the winter sports portion and heading to Putnam North swimming and diver Amy Kilby.

For those that don’t know, Kilby won the state championship as a sophomore and a junior and was primed to win it for a third time. However, the OSSAA took away the diving competition for her senior season.

Instead of sulking, Kilby still swam for Putnam North and will be back on the diving board again as she has signed with San Jose State.

Fellow chum Justin Harper is handling the fall season (Heritage Hall volleyballer Jessica Adams) while Brandon Chatmon has spring (Casady track runner Nick Bonfiglio) and Ryan Aber is writing the football story (Norman North’s Beau Traber).

We’ve been running signing lists the last couple of Sundays, but please, if you know of any more, send ‘em to either myself or Ryan Aber (RAber@opubco.com).

Back in a bit with more ADM thoughts. More specifically, the chaos (and beauty) that will be Class 3A in football, starting in 2010.

Here’s the full set:

Boys Basketball Super Five: Meet the Beatles

Boys Super Five Basketball Player of the Year Xavier Henry: Public Enemy’s He Got Game

Little All-City Boys Basketball Player of the Year Josh Davis: Bruce Springsteen’s Workin’ On A Dream

Big All-City Player of the Year Xavier Henry: Michael Jackson’s Thriller

Wrestler of the Year Bobby Williams: Elvis Costello’s This Year’s Model

Little All-City Girls Basketball Player of the Year Katie Beebe: Reba McEntire’s Greatest Hits Volume III — I’m a Survivor

Big All-City Girls Basketball Player of the Year Toni Young: Diana Ross’ Ultimate Collection

Swimmers of the Year Parris Schoppa and Dakota Wheeler: The White Stripes’ The White Stripes

Girls Basketball Super Five Player of the Year Kevi Luper: Sheena Easton’s Fabulous

Girls Basketball Super Five Team: The Go-Go’s Greatest Hits

Even when you’re confident about your selections, picking All-City teams is never an easy thing to do.

And this year’s version of swimming became that much tougher when the classes were split up.

Here is the list for the boys and for the girls.

Someone who placed second in 5A might have well come in seventh or eighth in 6A. So in the end, I tried to gauge it by time more than say ranking. Swimming is swimming. There’s no real, tangible advantage to swimming for an Edmond or Jenks team compared to say Altus or Bixby or Heritage Hall.

If you know how to swim, you know how to do it. Maybe the bigger schools have better resources, but if a swimmer really wants to, there are ways to not get left behind.

That solved that issue for me.

The second was the “sad” saga of Norman North sophomore Wilson Wei and Edmond North senior Nikki Colton.

Individually, they may be two of the best 10 boys/girls swimmers in the state. But at state itself, they were in events where they came up just short and couldn’t make the first team.

Wei competed in the 200 IM and the 500 free. Well, you can’t take anything away from Edmond Memorial’s Daniel Enge, who placed higher than Wei in the IM and Deer Creek’s Typ Whinnery had the fastest 500 free time of anybody in any class in the prelims.

And then there’s Colton. This was a tough one. Either Colton or EM’s Jill Enge wasn’t going to make the first team. That’s just the way the draw worked out.

Colton placed second in the 200 IM while Enge placed third. Kaylee Steffen of Putnam West won the event. However, Lizzy Whitbeck of McGuinness had the top time, so Whitbeck gets the edge. Steffen finds a spot in the 100 backstroke.

And then in the breaststroke, Enge tops Colton by .07, so it has to go to Enge based on that.

Both Wei and Colton made the second team in less than a second when I was putting it together.

No doubts on Westmoore’s Dakota Wheeler being Swimmer of the Year. What he did this last year was impressive.

Girls Swimmer of the Year came down to Whitbeck and Putnam North’s Parris Schoppa.

Did a little more research, and Schoppa’s times in the 50 and 100 free weren’t just good in Oklahoma. They’re impressive in the nation. Whitbeck didn’t lose the award, but I felt Schoppa earned the honor.

***

The album cover we re-created was The White Stripes. After initially bringing up the idea to Dakota and Parris, the toughest thing became where to shoot it.

We shot it on-location at one of the Switzer’s Locker Room storage facilities on S. Walker. Asking the place for permission was one of the more strange things I’ve done.

But with the help of genius photographer Chris Landsberger, thought it came out rather well.

So with that said, I close the pool for now and head back out to the tennis courts in what is shaping up to be a most intriguing year on the hardcourts.

-Hayley

Well, you can’t make crazy predictions and then not eat your words, so that’s what I’m here to do.

Had a couple of readers e-mail me about how difficult it was to watch the swimming events, and I appreciate the heads up.

As a writer, I wasn’t really focused on the crowd issues, but I understand the concern. Apparently, there were some occupancy issues at OCCC this weekend and not everyone could get in.

I’ll keep ya posted to see if the OSSAA has any plans to try to change the format.

But let’s go back to Friday’s paper where I did the boys/girls/teams to watch.

Boys

Alex Barto, Stillwater: Did not dominate like I expected him to. Placed second in 200 free and third in 500 free. Also part of a couple relay teams that finished third. Solid but not what I was expecting.

Wilson Wei, Norman North: Kinda in the same category. Didn’t do bad by any means with a third in the 200 IM and a second in the 500 free. Thought he might do some sprinting, guess not.

Ian McKenzie, Norman North: Won his first individual title in the 100 free. Also posted a 50 free time under 21 seconds. Named co-swimmer of the year for 6A boys. No apology necessary.

Isaac McKnight, Chickasha: Won both the 50 and 100 free, which are Chickasha’s first swimming championships. Would have finished extremely high in 6A with same times and may have even been pushed more.

Typ Whinnery, Deer Creek: Though he was very ill for the finals, won both the 500 free and 100 breaststroke going away. Shows what type of stamina and strength to do both in such a short period.

Who I should have talked about: Nelson Head and Eastman Holloway of Tulsa Union and Dakota Wheeler of Westmoore. All three impressive in pulling off the double golds.

Girls

Megan Myers, Tulsa Union: Won 500 free and placed third in 200 free. Union just couldn’t overtake Jenks in any of the relays, finishing second every time.

Kaylee Steffen, Putnam West: Went in thinking she would do 100 butterfly. Won 200 IM and went under a 1:00 in backstroke, which she said was her goal. Valerie Hayes of Jenks won the event.

Nikki Colton, Edmond North: Her and Jill Enge cursed each other by being in the same events. Colton placed second in the 200 IM and 100 breaststroke and did all she could for Huskies.

Parris Schoppa, Putnam North: Went in as favorite in 50 and 100 free and pulled off the double. Added cherry on top with girls swimmer of the year in 6A.

Lizzy Whitbeck, McGuinness: Not much more she could have done. Two individual titles, two relay titles and the first ever 5A title to the Irish girls.

Who I should have talked about: Don’t know, pretty confident with my selections. Jenks’ Michelle Glass had a great tournament, and I was saving Chelsea Ye for a story, so not feeling too bad.

Boys teams

Jenks: Placed first, dominated. Didn’t have to be a genius to figure that one out.

Stillwater: Thought Pioneers would come in second, fell back to fourth.

Norman North: Sixth place was not what the T’Wolves were hoping for though did have some solid individual outings.

Edmond Memorial: Got big times by all the right people and placed third.

Heritage Hall: Had some real great moments with Narayan Naik and Turner Petersen, but didn’t have enough in the final events and placed fourth.

Edmond North: Did not give the Huskies enough credit as they took second when I was projecting a sixth spot.

Girls teams

Jenks: Placed first and held off mighty charge by Tulsa Union.

Tulsa Union: Placed second and went stroke-for-stroke with Jenks.

Edmond Memorial: Jill Enge paved way to third-place finish, so I got 1-3 right.

Putnam North: Schoppa’s brilliance aside, Panthers finished eighth.

McGuinness: Did what was expected and grabbed the 5A title.

And for fun, here are those short videos. Girls: Whitbeck, Ye, Steffen and Schoppa. Boys: Wheeler, McKnight and McKenzie.

Up next on the Boneman’s winter tour is wrestling. Covering 3A and 4A, so see you at State Fair Arena.

It’s nearly 8 on a Saturday night, but I am done. Unfortunately, I was not able to fit in all the coverage I was hoping for.

So don’t fret if not all of the great outings today don’t make Sunday’s paper. There is still plenty more to come. Look for a story on the McGuinness girls as well as notes and the lengthy results.

Three out of four ain’t bad, right? Jenks dominated the boys field and held off Tulsa Union for the girls title. McGuinness girls cruised to the title while Bixby is the lone blemish as the Spartans won the 5A boys. I predicted Heritage Hall, who placed fourth.

Thoughts, observations, etc.

- Several multi-time winners today. Isaac McKnight gave Chickasha its first swimming titles ever. Putnam North’s Parris Schoppa achieved her dream of winning both the 50 and 100 free.

- Dakota Wheeler of Westmoore came out of nowhere this year to smoke the field in the 100 butterfly and 100 breaststroke.

- Typ Whinnery of Deer Creek impressed me with his ability to win the 500 free by a lengthy margin and then coming back to win the 100 breaststroke not that much later.

- Norman North’s Ian McKenzie has always been a bridesmaid but Saturday became the bride. He’s won 16 medals in four years with the T’Wolves but his win by less than three-tenths vs. Jenks’ Jacob Pearce in the 100 freestyle was his first title.

- Edmond Memorial’s Jill Enge and Edmond North’s Nikki Colton were attached at the hip. In the 200 IM, it was Colton edging out Enge by .04 to earn second (Putnam West’s Kaylee Steffen won). Then in the 100 breaststroke, it was Enge returning the favor, beating Colton by .07 to win the event.

- Narayan Naik of Heritage Hall earned a couple of titles and early on, it appeared the Chargers might be taking home a title. But Bixby came up huge down the stretch and Fort Gibson and Harrah made late surges. The Harrah team surprised me the most. Coach Guy Worth got every bit he could from his boys and girls.

- Had a chance to talk with Classen’s Josh Morgan, who is serving as the school sponsor for freshman Chelsea Ye. Ye won two titles Saturday. Morgan told me he swam club when he was younger, “but that was a long time ago.” He’s in awe and loving every minute of it with Ye’s success. She should be the toast of the school come Monday.

- Jenks’ student body lets their voices be heard. You knew when the Trojans were about to win an event or did win one. Congrats to John Turner’s teams for pulling off the double once again.

- When the swimmers marched in for the final, music was played. Your usual anthem of hype jams were played, except for one glaring example. Josh Turner’s “Me and God” was the theme for the boys 6A 500 free. I’m not knocking it, just thought it was a strange “get hyped” song.

- Your swimmers of the year. 6A boys: (tie) Nelson Head of Tulsa Union and Norman North’s Ian McKenzie. 6A girls: Parris Schoppa of Putnam North. 5A boys: Taylor Westby of Tulsa Kelley. 5A girls: Grace Peters of Harrah.

- Making it two classes was a good move. Dare I say an excellent move. The atmosphere was fantastic. The crowd was huge. The amount of swimmers only makes more kids in the future want to come out. I said before about how it gave the “little man” a chance to hope.

It did. Teams like Harrah and Chickasha and Deer Creek don’t have much hope vs. 6A teams. But man did they provide some moments in 5A.

- Special thanks to the Deer Creek moms for helping me out so much this weekend. Whether it was results or answering questions, it’s much appreciated.

- Look for a ton of post-swim videos with some of the individual champions either late Sunday or Monday. And now I got even more work to do. Out of all these great outings, who deserves to the boys and girls All-City Swimmer of the Year? Hmm, I’m non-commital at this point.

Here I was anticipating getting home around 8 or 9 at night. This is not too bad. I reserve the right to complain tomorrow with all the award ceremonies.

Definitely not the same electricity without Samantha Woodward, but that doesn’t mean Your Friendly Neighborhood Boneman didn’t have a fun time at OCCC’s Aquatic Center.

Thoughts, observations, who shocked, etc, so away we go…

- Standing by my McGuinness winning the 5A girls and Heritage Hall winning the 5A boys. The Chargers were especially confident following the day 1 events. More than anything with the Irish girls is they have someone competing in every event. Not all of the 5A contenders can say the same, and all that means is a bevy of points going to McGuinness.

- Jenks is ridiculous (boys and girls). Talking with Edmond coach Steve Riggs after the meet, he said Saturday will be even more absurd for Jenks. Freshman Montana Gaffney really stood out to me as did Jacob Pearce. You see the names, but it’s great to actually get the chance to see them in action.

- Same can be said for Classen’s Chelsea Ye and Union’s Eastman Holloway. Both are freshman and both should walk away with some titles. Look for a story about Ye in Saturday’s paper.

- Their teams won’t be in the hunt, but what Deer Creek’s Typ Whinnery and Westmoore’s Dakota Wheeler are doing needs to be noticed. Whinnery right now has a 40-second advantage over his nearest 5A competitor in the 500 freestyle and is four seconds better than Holloway overall.

As for the breaststroke, both are dominating there with Wheeler having a slight advantage. Whinnery has a four-second edge while Wheeler has a two-second edge in 6A.

- One of the more intriguing finals will be the boys 100 backstroke. Norman coach Kent Nicholson said it would be a battle between Norman’s Bruno Lipiani and Union’s Nelson Head. After the first, it is. Lipiani holds the edge after day 1.

- Stillwater was a little disappointing today. Maybe the Pioneers are saving themselves for the finals, but I was maybe a little too high on them.

- Could this be the year for Putnam North’s Parris Schoppa? Heavy favorite going into the 50 and 100 free and didn’t disappoint on day 1.

- Norman’s 400 free relay team being DQ’d really hurts the Tigers…duh. That lineup of Jack Hardwick, Nathan Sheely, Bradley Quy and Bruno Lipiani was going to make some noise in the finals.

- In terms of your Oklahoma City area studs, the expected fine results from the likes of Edmond Memorial’s Jill and Daniel Enge, Edmond North’s Nikki Colton and Ryan Adams, Norman North’s Wilson Wei and Ian McKenzie and Putnam West’s Kaylee Steffen.

- Hope day 2 is as smooth as day 1. Be back either late Saturday or Sunday with championship thoughts.

Well, tomorrow is Day 1 of the state swimming championships at the Aquatic Center at Oklahoma City Community College.

Notice the new start time of 11 a.m. to accommodate the fact there is now a Class 5A and 6A.

Won’t matter Friday as both classes will compete at the same time, but it will matter Saturday where 5A will swim first and then 6A.

Friday’s paper will have the preview, but there are some things that are not fit to print. In other words, I like to ramble on and on and the blog is the best place to do it

Boys

I can’t see anyone challenging Jenks. The biggest obstacle the Trojans faced was in the summer with the issues with coach John Turner. Those are long gone, and Jenks should claim yet another title.

Looking forward to seeing Stillwater’s Alex Barto again. I only get to see him at the state tournament, but he made quite the impression last year.

I do believe Norman North has two of the best boys in the entire state in sophomore Wilson Wei and senior Ian McKenzie. With that said, don’t think the Timberwolves will be fighting for anything better than third though both could win some individual titles.

Westmoore won’t make a dent in the team race, but Dakota Wheeler has a strong chance at earning a couple of individual crowns. His qualifying times in the 100 butterfly and 100 breaststroke are easily some of the best.

Interesting to see what happens with the Edmond teams. Both Memorial and North have solid swimmers with EM led by Daniel Enge and EN by Ryan Adams. But again, see them fighting for third, at best.

The birth of 5A will actually lead to a great race. No clear-cut favorite but Heritage Hall, Harrah, Fort Gibson and Bixby all have legit shots. And could be a dark horse or two with Chickasha and Altus, especially if Isaac McKnight dominates his events for the Chicks.

Also, Deer Creek could throw wrench into plans as both Logan Testi and Typ Whinnery could be 1-2 in certain events. And I don’t remember Narayan Naik from Heritage Hall, but he should make a splash as well.

Girls

Again, here think Jenks is going to win. But I’m a lot more interested in seeing the individual events as there are a lot of stars here who can steal the show.

Kaylee Steffen, Putnam West: She shockingly won the 100 backstroke last year. Has carried herself with a lot more confidence this season and should be the one to beat in both the 200 IM and 100 butterfly.

Parris Schoppa, Putnam North: Where did she come from? Heading into state, the best sprinter (50, 100 free) in the state, bar none.

Jill Enge, Edmond Memorial and Nikki Colton, Edmond North. The best the Edmond schools have to offer and some of the hardest working girls in the state.

Megan Myers, Tulsa Union and Bailey McCullough, Stillwater. As sophomores, already two of the best in the state. Could be challenging for that crown next two years, too.

Chelsea Ye, Classen. Going to try to write a feature on her during the first day. I am extremely interested in how a student from Classen can become perhaps the next big thing in the sport.

Putnam North could play the role of spoiler. Unexpected conference win and really not much is expected from them so always dangerous. Also interested to see how Amy Kilby performs. Kilby won the diving competition the last two years, but it’s now gone and she still swims.

Think the 5A team race is McGuinness’ to lose. Tough to bet against Lizzy Whitbeck and should have enough depth to take the crown. But not going to count out Bixby, Fort Gibson and Harrah.

All ‘n all, should be a lot of fun this weekend. Look for video, blog posts and all that other good stuff throughout the weekend.

It’s a different feeling heading into this year’s state swimming championships. For one, it could be an even longer two days with the Class 5A and 6A competitions (not that I mind).

Also, there’s no Samantha Woodward to galvanize the weekend. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t swimmers worth watching for.

The biggest thing is going to be to see just how strong Jenks and Union are. In talking with Oklahoma City area coaches, they believe it’s a fight for third at this point with the Redskins and Trojans doing what they normally do.

I’m not going to count out Stillwater, either. Guess it’s just going to matter about how much depth the Pioneers have.

Spoke with Edmond coach Steve Riggs about last weekend’s Mid-State and Metro Conference championships. Sounds like while we don’t have any one great storyline this year, there are plenty of mini-stories to go around.

For starters, after the weather wreaked havoc on the swimming schedules, the boys and girls came through huge. Five conference records were set and some of them were extremely impressive.

Putnam North’s Parris Schoppa has come into her own as a senior and broke both the 50 and 100 free marks. Staying in Putnam, Putnam West’s Kaylee Steffen has only built off her surprising state win in the 100 backstroke. Only this year, she’s doing it in every event, setting the mark in the 100 fly and 200 individual medley.

Norman and Norman North are canceling each other out. Coach Kent Nicholson has done a remarkable job in building those two programs. How can you not be impressed by NN’s duo of Wilson Wei and Ian McKenzie? But Norman is no slouch, either, with foreign exchange transfer Bruno Lipiani and senior Jack Hardwick. The Normans, much like the Edmond squads, might have been the team to beat if they were one unit.

Of course, they’re not so while a team title is likely out of the picture for both, there’s nothing to prevent them from taking home some individual titles.

Edmond, as a whole, isn’t as strong as last year, but it’ll be fun to watch Jill Enge (Memorial) and Nikki Colton (North) one more time. Been extremely impressed with them the last two years.

And as always, state gives me a chance to be introduced to some new kids. Last year, it was NN’s Wei and Chickasha’s Isaac McKnight who made the biggest splash.

This year might be the year Deer Creek’s Logan Testi and Typ Whinnery break through. It’s amazing how the two have been qualifying at about the same times the entire season.

Not going to count the Moore schools, but Southmoore has definitely spread the wealth around to where not one solid team to watch. Westmoore’s Dakota Wheeler has been impressive and broke one of the longer-standing conference marks in the 100 fly.

If they have enough depth, McGuinness and girls and Heritage Hall boys could be the first-ever Class 5A champions. Definitely a lot of competition there, though.

Much more in-depth look at things next week. Conference meets give you a good idea of what to expect at state. Not necessarily what will happen but a better indicator that if you’re going to make some picks (like me), these results and times help justify things.

And who knows, maybe the Last Chance meet will provide some fireworks, too?

Hey, we STILL do exist. I’m “your man” in the pool. And as we get closer and closer to the state tournament, wanted to chime in on some things.

- Torn on the 5A and 6A deal. Love it for the team aspect, but I get greedy, too. Swimmers like Lizzy Whitbeck of McGuinness and Isaac McKnight of Chickasha deserve that shot to go against 6A’s top dogs.

I’m sure there are other great 5A swimmers, I was just naming the two off the top of my head that I definitely know.

- John Turner is in line for another boys title at Jenks. Didn’t they lose like 15,16 seniors from last year’s group? Remarkable.

After a turbulent summer for Turner and his resignation but then being welcomed back to the Jenks family, might have a storybook ending in store.

- If any team can give Jenks/Union a run, it’s the Stillwater boys. Just not sure if they’re going to have the depth to give ‘em a real strong run.

- Norman and Norman North are both getting stronger as Kent Nicholson is slowly building teams you need to watch out for.

- Wonder what it’s like for Putnam North’s Amy Kilby and Tuttle’s Matthew Bumgarner right now? They’re the last state diving champions after it was yoinked away for this season.

- Does it seem lonely without Samantha Woodward? The buzz is a bit less, but there are still plenty of reasons to watch swimming. Pretty high up on the list is the development of Classen’s Chelsea Ye. Only a freshman but tearing it up.

- Is it a down year for Edmond schools when you don’t expect them to win any team titles? That’s what happens with such tradition. It’ll be interesting in how Edmond coach Steve Riggs views this season. Sometimes, coaches enjoy these seasons the most because they’re watching the kids develop.

- Swimmers, coaches, got results and/or story ideas? E-mail them to me. Always looking for a good story.

- Going to be at the Carl Albert Tournament for basketball this weekend. Might see the best basketball I’ll see this year.

Other observations from the pool this weekend: The monopoly is over. No, not the Sam one, but the Woodward-Whitbeck domination. Yeah, Lizzy Whitbeck will still be there but with Sam and Katie moving on, who’s going to take that mantle as the top swimmers with Lizzy? The Whitbecks or Woodward won six of the eight individual girls events while Sam paced two Edmond Memorial relay wins.

Jenks coach John Turner understated his team…big time. When talking to the coach about his team this week, he wasn’t very forthcoming about the stars his boys team had. He said he had a great team, but he didn’t say anything about Frank Radaelli, Andrew Kurtz and David Miller. The Trojans were dominant.

But with 16 seniors gone for Jenks, Stillwater is going to make a charge next year. Alex Barto will be my preseason pick for best boys swimmer.

Overall, I’m not too ashamed of my predictions for the teams and top swimmers. For boys teams, Edmond Memorial exceeded my expectations while Tulsa Union didn’t have its best days.

On the girls side, I had teams 3-6 (Union, Stillwater, McGuinness and Moore) dead-on and was three points away from having 1-6. Jenks pulled it out when it mattered most. In a perfect world, it would have been fun to see Sam and Whitley Taylor decide each team’s fate, but that’s where the planning comes in. Woodward was done while Turner still had his anchor ready to roll.

Speaking of Taylor, Whitley and the Whitbecks did as expected. And I’m giving Riedmann a pass as she placed second in two events. One where Sam set a record and the other where Katie was tops.

The East boys clearly were the best this year, mea culpa. While Danny Hatfield and Nathan Bercaw were solid for the Edmond teams, nobody could touch the unstoppable monster that was Jenks.

Really looking forward to seeing those freshmen develop. Wilson Wei, Norman North; Isaac McKnight, Chickasha; Ryan Adams, Edmond North; Bailey McCullough, Stillwater; Megan Myers, Tulsa Union. I’m sure there are more, but those are the ones that stood out on both days.

While it was great to see Katie and Sam dominate, next year’s wide open field is also intriguing. I’m not seeing too many events where you already know “oh, she’s got it.”

Thanks to the volunteers representing Deer Creek, who were so quick at getting me event results and answering any questions.

Well, the only thing left would be the postseason honors. Keep you posted.

I really wasn’t trying to be a jerk, but “she’s the one ahead of everybody” was my response to a fan’s question of who is Samantha Woodward at the state swimming championships? I thought the answer sufficed. It was short, precise and accurate.

This weekend was the first time I had the honor to watch Woodward swim. The two biggest things I noticed.

1) She doesn’t take herself too seriously. She doesn’t believe her own hype and she doesn’t carry herself as someone who is eons better than everyone else in the pool.

2) All her competitors have accepted second but hold no grudge at all toward her. In Friday’s Oklahoman, I wrote a short piece about how some of the other top names in the state view Woodward. I was looking for something juicy, something Rory Sabbatini-like about Tiger Woods. Nothing, not one negative word.

After watching her crush the competition again and the way she interacts with everyone afterward, it’s easy to see why there’s no ill-will.

She set three records on Saturday, but the best display of her prowess was the very first event, the 200 IM relay. Because as the butterfly swimmer, the third leg, the lead for Edmond Memorial was not much. But after her swim, I had already penciled the Lady Bulldogs in as the winners.

There was a certain buzz around the 200 free relay because everyone realized it was Sam’s last swim. The whole day I tried to watch Sam’s father, Pete, and his reactions. Because even though he is a certified official, it’s fun to see raw emotion come out every now and then.

And now her high school career is over. There’s something so final to that. A bevy of emotions were flowing from Sam, Pete, other swimmers and Edmond coach Steve Riggs. What do you say about someone who has meant so much to this state for this sport?

I say one thing: good luck and see you in Omaha.

Despite qualifying for the state swimming championships in three events at last Thursday’s last chance meet, Harding Prep’s Mitchell Selby will not be allowed to participate this weekend.

Paperwork needed to be filed to the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association by Friday afternoon, and Harding Prep did not get the forms in on time.

“We didn’t even know he was swimming,” Harding Prep athletic director Emily White said. “It’s unfortunate that this has happened. He’ll definitely be around next year.”

Selby’s parents asked Edmond coach Steve Riggs if Mitchell could compete a few weeks ago. Mitchell was allowed to and easily qualified for the events.

Riggs said he noticed something was wrong when he was organizing the warm up time for each school to use the pool and Harding Prep was not on the list.

“It’s a shame because it was such a unique story, but we know he’ll be back and better than ever,” Riggs said.

No one is at fault here, but it’s a real shame for Selby. As a kid, he’s not thinking about the rules and regulations. He just wants to swim.

For swimming coaches, they just want to give kids the opportunity, a chance. No one wants to turn away someone who wants it so bad.

And for the OSSAA, well, they’re always the bad guys in these situations. They have to enforce the rules. They’re just following procedure. It’s tough to be the governing body because you never want to open that proverbial Pandora’s Box.

The good thing is Selby is just a freshman. He swims at Chesapeake, so you know he’s swimming with the some of the best in the state. So to reiterate, yep, Selby will be back. We just won’t see him this weekend.
