Centennial’s Caitlin Copeland took over Friday night’s game against Northwest, scoring 37 of her team’s 55 points in a 55-50 double overtime win on the road.

No other Centennial player scored more than six points.

Centennial plays at Southeast tonight.

Others
Adeshola Adebayo. Southeast: In a 63-48 loss to Northeast on Friday, Adebayo scored half of her team’s points.

Markus Clark, John Marshall: Clark won the long jump at last weekend’s 4A-3A state indoor track championships in Enid with a jump of 19 feet, 7 inches.

Emmanuel Denson, John Marshall: Denson won the 55-meter hurdles at last weekend’s 4A-3A state indoor  track championships in Enid. Denson had a time of 7.90, beating out teammate Jonathan Barber, who finished second, by more than two tenths of a second.

Romond Jenkins, Douglass: Douglass continued to show why some consider them the best team in the state regardless of class, as Romond Jenkins scored 18 in an 87-63 win over Capitol Hill on Friday. Jenkins was one of six Trojans in double figures in the win.

Delford Robinson, Millwood: Robinson scored 18 in the Falcons’ 57-54 win over Star Spencer on Friday. Millwood trailed by 12 points at halftime and by five at the end of the third quarter but came back to win their 11th game in their last 13.

Bryan Steele, Trai Jordan and Travis Carbajal, Southeast: Steele scored 26, Jordan 25 and Carbajal 19 as the trio nearly outscored Northeast by themselves in an 87-77 win over the Vikings on Friday.

Jeffery Trailer, John Marshall: Trailer won the shot put with a throw of 50 feet 1.5 inches but had plenty of company on the leaderboard, with each of the top three spots going to Bears. Ken Berry (48-11.75) and A.J. Clark (48-6) rounded out the top three, helping John Marshall win the 4A-3A boys championship.

It’s hard to argue with Justin Harper’s selection of Midwest City standout and Duke signee Richa Jackson as his player of the week.

Jackson has been steady throughout the season and was again in Friday’s 59-35 win over No. 5 Norman North. Jackson had a game-high 18 points, forced six turnovers and was instrumental in a 26-7 third-period run that put the game away.

Jackson isn’t the only reason Midwest City is the favorite to win the Class 6A state championship next month, but she’s a big reason. She’s among 6A’s best in scoring, rebounds, steals and blocks.

Others
Larry Cunningham, Carl Albert: Cunningham scored 21 in Carl Albert’s 66-52 win over Shawnee on Friday night.

Airick Johnson, Del City: Johnson won the 55-meter hurdles at the state indoor track championships in Enid over the weekend, with a time of 7.63 seconds.

Dillion Johnson: The Midwest City football standout won the triple jump at the track championships, with a jump of 40 feet, 11.75 inches.

Kendall Parks, Midwest City: Parks didn’t score in Midwest City’s 44-40 win over Norman North but he was instrumental in the No. 8 Bombers coming out with the win. Parks held Norman North’s Patrick Schaefer without a field goal as Midwest City came back from a halftime deficit to win on the road.

Diquan Peace, Del City: Peace won the 55-meter dash at the state indoor track championships in Enid, with a time of 6.62 seconds.

Brittany Reid, Midwest City: Reid won the long jump in the weekend’s state indoor track championships in Enid, with a jump of 16 feet, 4.5 inches.

Darien Roberts, Del City: Roberts won the 55-meter hurdles at the weekend’s state indoor track championships in Enid, with a time of 9.64 seconds.

Jason Thompson, Midwest City: Thompson won the 800-meter run at the championships with a time of 2:06.53.

Kalicia Williams, Midwest City: Williams won the shot put at the state indoor track championships with a throw of 36 feet, 10 inches.

The sophomore scored a team-high 11 points in a 63-36 loss to Norman.

1. Midwest City (6A), 15-2: After cruising past a strong Norman North squad, Bombers are primed for postseason.

3. Harrah (4A), 18-1: Panthers ready for Saturday’s Suburban Conference championship.

2. Edmond Santa Fe (6A), 15-2: Upset loss to Choctaw ended a 12-game winning streak.

4. Cache (4A), 18-0: Beat Class 4A power Anadarko last week.

5. Vinita (4A), 17-1: Team hasn’t lost in a month and has won each game since Jan. 8 loss to Jenks by double digits.

6. Norman (6A), 14-3: Forward Jeannie Ramon is coming on big-time for Tigers.

7. Carl Albert (5A), 14-4: Moved back to No. 1 spot in 5A before being walloped by Shawnee by 20 points.

2. Adair (3A), 17-1: Same as above for defending 3A champs: postseason can’t begin soon enough.

3. Konawa (2A): From unranked to No. 3 in the power poll and likely the new No. 1 in 2A in the coaches ranking after beating 3A No. 3 Bethel, which held the third spot in the power poll.

7. Chattanooga (A), 20-3: Closed the regular season with a 55-12 victory over hobbled Lomega squad.

Millwood wide receiver Josh Turner comes in at No. 38 on the Scout.com 150 list of the nation’s top recruits for next year.

That’s no surprise, as Turner has a healthy list of offers than includes all three state Division I schools, Arizona, Kansas, Nebraska and Texas Tech.

Oklahoma State commitment QB J.W. Walsh (Guyer HS, Denton, Texas) checks in at No. 97 on the list.

Southmoore  QB Kendal Thompson, who is committed to OU, is No. 128 and is the only other state high school player on the list.

Turner and Thompson are also the only state players rated as four stars in Scout’s preliminary list.

Three star players include: Norman North’s Dan Davis (a Stanford commit), Tulsa Washington’s Isaac Bennett, Duncan’s Dylan Dismuke, Glenpool’s Isaac Maselera (an OSU commit), Sallisaw’s Garrett Gladd, Edmond Memorial’s Kameron Doolittle and Millwood’s Kevonte Richardson and Emilio Gatewood.

A few other players who are certain to jump up to that level after further evaluation include Lawton’s Tyrequek Zimmerman, Guthrie’s Kentrell Brothers, Nowata’s Austin Beck, Choctaw’s Hunter Davis and Duncan’s Dominique Petties.

When Deer Creek played at El Reno a few weeks ago, El Reno star Chris Mustain waited until the fourth quarter to start going nuts.

He waited until the third and boy, did he go nuts. Mustain led the charge as El Reno picked up a huge road win at Deer Creek on Monday.

El Reno 72, Deer Creek 60 (Boys)

Mustain had two points at halftime. He wasn’t in foul trouble, but he couldn’t get it going. But Travis Johnson was there for the pick-me-up as he had 13 of his 18 points in the first half.

Right from the start of the second half (DC led 34-31), you could see it was a different Mustain. He was making his jumpers, which then led to great penetration, and he knows how to finish.

The Indians won this game in the third quarter with a 15-6 advantage. They stepped up their defense and Deer Creek was a little frustrated. Mustain, coincidentally, had 13 of those 15 points.

Mustain made just enough free throws down the stretch to always keep it at a reasonable margin and finished with 24 points.

The Antlers have too many lapses. They play hard for so long, but if they let up for a second, they’re back to playing catch up.

Garrett Hermanski had another big scoring night with 19 for Deer Creek, but if he’s not scoring, he’s not effective. He’s going to have to learn to get his teammates involved more.

Liked what I saw from El Reno. Between Mustain, Johnson, Terry Hubbard and DeVante Moore, Rodney Haydon has a strong team in 5A.

Deer Creek 58, El Reno 33 (Girls)

Did not see this coming at all, especially when the Antlers led by five at halftime. But a huge third quarter pretty much put this game in the bag (20-7).

The Antlers were simply too big for the Indians. Jalyn Jackson only finished with six points, but I wouldn’t be shocked to hear that she had at least 12-15 rebounds for Deer Creek.

Freshman Ashley Gibson was her usual self and has great court presence for being so young. She led the team with 13 points.

Deer Creek coach Totsy Manning credited the defense for the win, saying the team communicated much better and that led to easy offensive opportunities. Also good bounce back after that draining 2OT loss at Piedmont on Saturday.

El Reno is gutsy, but it is tiny. It’s like five Bonemen out there in terms of how skinny the girls are (and just like when I play, get outmuscled often). Really loved the effort of Charissa Jones. She knows how to maneuver herself in and out, fun to watch. She led El Reno with 15 points.

Up next is homecoming for Deer Creek against Western Heights. This will mark the fourth game in a row for the Antlers without a practice…weird.

Big schools

1. Edmond Santa Fe, 6A (16-1): Utilizing strong depth to battle through current stretch of six games in 10 days; plays PC West tonight.

2. Douglass, 4A (19-0): Will face Star Spencer Saturday, one of two opponents to stay within single-digits of the Trojans.

3. Broken Arrow, 6A (16-1): Another win over Muskogee to cement their spot as the east side’s top team.

4. Putnam City West, 6A (10-8): Monday’s news of five forfeits hurts the record, but the Patriots are still one of the state’s best teams.

5. Putnam City, 6A (16-3): Can’t solve PC West, but the Pirates have all the tools to defend their title.

6. Tulsa Memorial, 5A (15-2): Eight-game win streak includes three wins over teams in 5A’s top five.

7. Muskogee, 6A (13-2): Six games remaining in the final two weeks of the regular season.

8. Tulsa East Central, 5A (14-4): Three of four losses to Tulsa Memorial and Edison; Cardinals at Edison Friday.

2. Cascia Hall, 3A (15-5): Went on the road to knock off 6A Owasso on Saturday.

3. Sequoyah-Tahlequah, 3A (13-5): The Indians haven’t lost to a team below 5A since Dec. 11.

4. Garber, A (16-2): Edged Class B’s top team, Roff, for the second time this season.

5. Bethel, 3A (18-1): Two dominating victories since suffering first defeat.

6. Talihina, 2A (18-2): Faces Class 3A No. 11 Hartshorne tonight in toughest test remaining before playoffs.

7. Pawnee, 2A (15-3): Black Bears have won 10 straight since losing to Garber in the finals of the Morrison Tournament.

8. Watonga, 2A (19-0): Big road win over local rival and Class A power Okarche last week.

The player was ineligible in the 2008-09 season, but played in nine games for the Patriots. The player participated in nine games this season before the issue was discovered, according to OSSAA Executive Secretary Ed Sheakley on Monday.

Of those nine games, two were losses, and two were blowout wins in which the OSSAA staff determined the player’s participation did not impact the outcome. PC West will have to forfeit the other five games, dropping its record from 15-3 to 10-8.

“The penalty for using an ineligible player is that the player must sit out the same number of games he participated in when he becomes eligible,” Sheakley said.

The forfeited wins occurred between Dec. 4-Dec. 30 against Putnam City, Choctaw, Yukon, Del City and Putnam City North. It is unclear how the forfeits will impact the Patriots’ playoff seeding, which will be announced by the OSSAA on Thursday.

The issue was discovered during the holiday break and the player has since sat out the mandatory nine games, meaning he will be eligible to participate for the Patriots, ranked No. 3 in Class 6A, when they host No. 1 Edmond Santa Fe.

Steve Lindley, the communications director for Putnam City Schools, released the following statement Monday night:

“The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association is prepared to rule that the Putnam City West High School boys’ basketball team must forfeit five games from earlier this season for use of an ineligible player. The ruling has to do with school officials mistakenly not completing paperwork on a new student as required by OSSAA procedures.

“School officials did not knowingly allow an ineligible student on the team. To knowingly allow an ineligible student to participate would be contrary to the value of good sportsmanship in which Putnam City West coaches, officials, students and parents believe.

“School officials understand their responsibility to make sure students are eligible for athletic competition. They take that responsibility seriously and conscientiously seek to follow the rules. Measures have already been taken to insure that this mistake does not happen again.”

It is my understanding that the athlete in question came up through the PC West feeder school system, but transferred out for his freshman year. He transferred back to PC West in his sophomore season of 2008-09, and the form the OSSAA calls the “New Student Form” was not filled out and submitted to the OSSAA regarding his return to PC West. Essentially, it seems like nothing more than a clerical oversight, but it turned out to be a costly one for the Patriots.

But how costly? The interesting issue will be how this impacts playoff seeding. It’s pretty obvious that the ineligible player wasn’t making huge contributions to the Patriots’ victories. Without him, PC West is 8-1, with the only loss a three-point defeat on the road against No. 1 Edmond Santa Fe. Those eight wins include two over No. 5 Putnam City, two over No. 10 Putnam City North and one over Class 4A No. 6 John Marshall.

So if coaches organize their rankings based on how good a team is, it shouldn’t impact where you’d slot the Pats. That’s how I treated the situation in my Power Poll that will appear in Tuesday’s paper. But if you’re basing rankings on record, which some coaches might do, 10-8 doesn’t stand up the way 15-3 would, and it might open up a regional hosting berth on the west side of the state.

Purcell boys coach Lee Reimer picked up his 400th win at the school in last Thursday’s 55-52 win at Blanchard.

It didn’t take Reimer long to add onto his wins total as Purcell beat Marlow the next night.

Reimer took over at Purcell for the 1984-85 season, coaching the Dragons to the 1994 Class 3A state championship.

Prior to that, Reimer coached for three seasons at Medford, winning the 1984 Class A title.

Purcell is scheduled to play at Lexington Tuesday night.

Reimer is the second-winningest coach in Purcell boys basketball history. Boney Matthews went 922-245 over a 40-year career, mostly at Purcell, winning three state titles. While not all of Matthews wins came at Purcell, combined, the two coaches have won more than 1,000 games with the Dragons.

But no one else had as much to gain, reletively speaking, as the Yukon girls. And though the Wednesday and Friday wins were very much team efforts, Jade Hardy stepped up her offensive game to lead the team in scoring for the week and earn the West Metro POW honors.

Hardy had 25 total points in the victories over No. 13 PC and PC West as the Millerettes ended a four-game losing streak, won their first home game of the season and got back to .500 at 9-9 just in time for postseason seedings, which will be released by the OSSAA on Thursday.

Yukon had lost four in a row, falling out of the top 20, but with Wednesday’s 44-39 win over a strong PC team, which has flirted with the top 10 for the last month or more, Yukon made the kind of statement it needed to make a jump in the area rankings and possibly avoid playing one of the higher seeded teams.

Hardy had 12 against PC, then added 13 against PC West to match Laila Suleiman for top scoring honors, giving the Millerettes back-to-back wins in their final chance to make a move in the rankings.

Other contenders

Tyler Neal and Amric Fields, PC West: These two guys took over the game Saturday night to knock off Putnam City, Neal finishing with 24 points and Fields added 22 points and seven blocked shots. Fields had 20 points and Neal 17 in Friday’s win over Yukon.

LaShawn Jones, PC: Despite a 1-2 record for the Lady Pirates for the week, the 6-foot-3 Jones had one of her most productive weeks of the season, scoring 20, 18 and 14 in the three games.

Ben Berry, Mustang: The Broncos lost their only game of the week, but Berry, a 6-foot-3 junior, came through with with 15 points against No. 1 Edmond Santa Fe.

Armon Provo, PC North: Poured in 26 points as the Panthers knocked off a feisty Choctaw squad on Friday night.

Kendrea Harbert, PC North: Led PC North in scoring in both games this week, including 14 in defeat against Edmond Santa Fe. Her 12 points paced the Lady Panthers in Friday’s win over Choctaw.

Others in the mix: BryanDutton (Guthrie), Joe Gaither (Kingfisher), Jazar Duran (Southeast)

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.

All Oklahoma City Public Schools athletic activities scheduled tonight have been postponed. As of right now, the games scheduled for tomorrow are still on as scheduled.

Star Spencer-Douglass, which was originally scheduled for two weeks ago, will be played Saturday at Northwest.

Ga,es scheduled for tonight included: OKC Storm at Douglass girls basketball and Southmoore at Southeast wrestling.

Tomorrow’s schedule:
BASKETBALL
Centennial at Southeast
John Marshall at Classen
Millwood at Capitol Hill
Northwest at Star Spencer
U.S. Grant at Northeast

WRESTLING
Northwest at Western Heights

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.

Here are your team results:

It was a battle between a couple of Bishop McGuinness standouts for this week’s honor, but I thought this sophomore made a bigger impression this week.

The Irish girls basketball team was in danger of not only blowing an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter but doing it at home…on homecoming…against their rival.

But there would be no miracle comeback for Bishop Kelley because of Elyse Hight. Scoring more than half the team’s points and derailing the comeback attempt makes her the Private schools Player of the Week.

Hight scored 20 points in the 39-35 win. And the way she played in the second half opened my eyes. She’s had a couple of big games this season (most notably in a loss to Edmond North), but the way that she played Friday has to have Irish supporters a little bit giddy.

McGuinness is being powered by its post, and you thought that just meant Cara Pugh and Alexa Lienhard. But Hight is showing when she gets a chance, she’ll make the most out of it.

I said it Friday night, but it’s how strong she is with the ball that is setting her apart. She’s able to convert when she gets a hit, and there’s a big difference in always going for three-point plays vs. shooting two free throws.

If the Irish are going to make a run in an ultra-deep 4A, they’re going to need more big-time performances from places they don’t normally look.

Other contenders

Jameel Whitney, Basketball/Football, Irish: Big week for Whitney. Signed with East Central to play football Wednesday and scores game-high 15 points in win vs. Bishop Kelley on Friday.

Ryan Shelley, Basketball, Casady: Cyclones went 0-3 last week but not because of Shelley. Good week for the senior, who moved into sixth on the all-time scoring list.

Daniel Blackwood, Basketball, OCS: You know about Jack Warren and T.J. Holland, but Blackwood returned this last week as OCS pulled out two more Ws vs. Riverside and Christian Heritage.

Hans Thun, Basketball, OCA: This is more of a ’season achievement’ award as Thun has been almost beyond sensational for the Eagles this season.

Note: Heritage Hall did not compete in basketball this week.

I wasn’t at either game, but I was caught looking ahead in the schedule for a couple of ‘my teams.’ Saturday was a big make up date for basketball teams, and a not so good one for a pair of tremendously talented girls teams.

First was only loss No. 2 on the season for Paul Bass’ Santa Fe squad, dropping a 44-40 decision at Choctaw. This was a make up game from last month that didn’t occur because there were no referees on hand.

The Wolves have played with fire a lot in some of their wins. Not coming out sharp but having the talent to muscle their way to a win.

Santa Fe has three games this week to get back on track, starting with Tuesday’s battle at Putnam West. After Yukon on Thursday, comes a rematch with Choctaw on Friday.

The other head-scratcher happened in Piedmont. When rivals get together, who knows what will happen. This was just another one of those cases.

Deer Creek had beaten Piedmont by 11 in the first meeting, but Piedmont pulled out a thrilling 48-47 win in double overtime.

Not much time to sulk for Totsy Manning’s club, either, as Deer Creek has El Reno on Monday (I’ll be there) and Western Heights on Tuesday.

Big wins for both Piedmont and Choctaw, so interesting to see how those teams build off of them and how DC and ESF respond after the losses.

Heritage Hall’s win at Casady feels like a long time ago for the Chargers. No, not because the team has gone into a big funk or anything, but it’s because the team hasn’t played since (two weeks ago).

Part of that was the weather and part was the actual schedule for Heritage. The Chargers were supposed to play OCS (and I was supposed to be there) on Friday, Jan. 29.

However, that was when the weather was horrendous. So the teams tried to make up the game for last Monday (and I was going to be there). But again, it was still postponed. Then canceled completely.

The Chargers had the week off anyway, so Mike Walker’s and Leslie Warner’s clubs will not have seen game time in two weeks when they head to Mt. St. Mary’s on Tuesday.

And for the third time in a row, I plan on seeing Heritage and being at MSM for the Rockets and Chargers. And what do you know as we’re supposed to get bad weather again. Maybe I’m just not meant to see Heritage again.

MSM is coming off a tough loss to a VERY good Bridge Creek team, so you know Lenny Hatchett’s boys will be looking to bounce back. The Rockets won the first meeting 58-50 before the Christmas break.

Everyone knows how great the Midwest City girls basketball team. You’ve heard me rave on and on about Courtney Walker and Edmond Santa Fe.

So how can a team be 15-2 and still under the radar? Well, if you’re Edmond North, I believe that’s exactly what you are.

Since losing at Santa Fe, the Huskies have been almost workmanlike in their impressive displays one after another. Take away a thrilling win against Memorial, three of their last four wins have been by at least 17 points.

And Friday was a case of a little revenge as North took out Putnam City at PC after the Pirates had beaten the Huskies at North in December.

Junior Elizabeth Donohoe and TaNita Dewberry continue to bring the goods every night, but Anna Kimsey is starting to become a reliable third option.

It’s not unheard of with these three girls to have all three post double-doubles as North’s size really sets it apart from the rest of the field.

The Huskies are back out there Monday with Mustang and Tuesday with Choctaw, but it’s tough to not already be looking ahead to next Tuesday, Feb. 16, with the rematch vs. Santa Fe at North (I’ll be there).

Moore senior Tara Martini led the Lions to a 46-41 victory with a game-high 21 points. Martini also led all scorers in Moore’s 44-42 triumph over the Jaguars in December. Martini hit four three-pointers in the game, including three in the second half.

Westmoore sophomore Kabria Harkey led the Jags with 15 points.

What’s more, no one left on the schedule has played the Bombers within 17 points this season.

“I can’t wait until we get to the playoffs, personally,” said Bombers star and Duke signee Richa Jackson, who scored a game-high 18 points. “All we’ve been striving for all season is a state championship. We’re all ready to get the playoffs started.”

And why not? Midwest City has more than met all challenges. Friday was a perfect example. The upstart T-Wolves gave the Bombers all they wanted for two quarters, trailing 21-19 at halftime. Then came the third quarter and a 26-7 eruption by Midwest City and by the time the quarter was over the Bombers were up 47-26.

“We’re not overlooking anybody or are overconfident,” said junior Kaylon Williams, who has verbally committed to Oklahoma and scored 16 points Friday. “But we feel like we’re working on getting better and working on our own game.”

Coach Art Bode certainly won’t let his squad get too far ahead of itself, but after a 26-1 season last year and having steamrolled through this season, he’s also anxious for the postseason.

“At certain points, we’ve been doing that the whole season,” said Bode of looking ahead to the start of the playoffs. “We’ve just been working toward the end result of the season. A state championship is what we’ve (focused on) since before the season even started.”

They’re well on their way. Norman North (11-3), which is ranked fifth in 6A, looks like a good bet to make the state tourney, received a team-high 10 points from Hayley Scott and seven from Madison Marquardt.

Even the biggest Patriot supporters had to have their doubts when Putnam City was up 13 starting the fourth quarter on its home floor.

But Tyler Neal and Amric Fields went to work. The dynamic duo had 31 of their combined 46 points after halftime as the Patriots rallied for a 66-60 overtime win at Putnam City.

Some good defense by PC and an unlucky roll were all that kept the Pats from winning the game in regulation, with Neal missing a five-footer. So PC West took over from the start of overtime and finished its regular-season sweep of the Pirates.

Neal finished wtih 24 points and Fields had 22, hitting 6-of-6 free throws in the final 30 seconds of OT to ice it. And Fields was huge in the paint defensive ly, blocking seven shots.

“This is unbelievable. We came out flat, about as flat as team can be,” Neal said. “We finally started knocking some shots down, got to the line. We had to play as a team, and we finally got it together.”

It’s impressive that PC West pulled off the sweep of its biggest rival, something that hasn’t happened in quite a while, and certainly not of this magnitude. But more impressive was how they did it, falling behind by 18 in the second quarter on the road Saturday.

The mental toughness required in an adverse situation like that hadn’t been required of PC West this season.

“We hadn’t faced adversity like that all season,” Fields said. “Shots weren’t falling. We didn’t know what to do. Coach (Tim Stogsdill) told us to keep our defense up and the shots would eventually start falling. He told me to block every shot that came in the lane.

“This was really a gut-check for us.”

Tre Payne had 13 points for Putnam City. Brian Brown, battling illness lately, had 12 before fouling out and Dominique Raney had 10.

Josiah Campbell, in addition to guarding Raney most of the game, scored four of his eight points early in overtime to help the Patriots build a lead.

Stogsdill busted out his Secret Sauce again on Saturday, passing it around in the locker room for everyone to take a sip. But he confessed, it’s only Gatorade. Oh well, it worked.

It was senior day at Casady for the boys basketball team Saturday morning against Dallas St. Mark’s. The Cyclones hung in there early, but Will Dickson and the Lions were too much in a 59-44 win for DSM.

I was confused after Ryan Shelley’s first basketball for Casady as the game was stopped. But then it was explained that Shelley had moved into 6th place on the all-time scoring list with 1,146 points. He passed Casady grad and now Holland Hall boys coach Brad Shelley. Brad was in attendance Saturday.

Shelley would finish the afternoon with 1,157 points and 13 on Saturday.

Rough week for Casady with three losses heading into the Southwest Prep Conference tournament in Houston next week.

The Cyclones led 33-32 at halftime but only managed 11 points in the second half. Missed free throws, good defense led to a tough final 16 minutes for Casady.

DSM’s Will Dickson could pretty much do whatever he wanted in there, scoring 10 points in the first quarter. And after a slow second quarter, got going again in the second half to finish with 22 points.

Early in the fourth, it was 45-42 for the Lions, who then went on a 14-2 run to close out the show.

Seniors Bentley Williams and Alex Dudley each had nine points for the Cyclones.

Casady had senior ceremonies before the game and two things stood out: 1. Big senior class for Casady as I believe there were six seniors introduced.

2. All of them said one of their favorite basketball memories was the win at Heritage last month. Gotta love those rivalries.

There was no girls game.

At least three Oklahoman All-Staters have yet to decide where they will play college football.

Still pondering things are Midwest City linebacker Emmanuel Maxwell, Del City wide receiver Donavan Dan and Star Spencer running back Darwin Rideau.

With the possible exception of Dan, the group is likely to end up at junior colleges. Rideau certainly would’ve wound up at a Division I school had he qualified and Maxwell is on the fence academically and would’ve received moer Division I attention had he been a sure-thing qualifier (and an extra couple of inches of height certainly would’ve helped).

Despite some reports, neither Maxwell or Dan have signed with Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. NEO is certainly a tempting place but they’re both pondering several options. Dan is considering walking on at a Division I school.

Also, Millwood’ s Trayvon Henry signed at Butler County Communicty College. Henry was briefly committed to OU and was committed to Kansas as well before academic and other issues changed things. If Henry goes to junior college and takes care of things there in the classroom and doesn’t have any other issues, there’s little doubt he’ll wind up with another chance in Division I football. He might’ve been the best defensive player in the state before a suspension after week two kept him out for nine games.

These are the last games before the rankings that will set postseason seedings.

And no game had as much riding on it for both teams involved as the Midwest City-Norman North boys game Friday night, with each team being in a somewhat precarious position.

Based on last Monday’s rankings, Midwest City would be the No. 5 seed in the west, which means going on the road for the regional tournament. They’re two spots behind Southmoore, which is currently in line to get the fourth seed and the final home regional.

Southmoore has a better record, but lost to the Bombers head-to-head, so the voting will be an interesting thing. For that reason, winning at Norman North on Friday night was quite valuable for Midwest City, a big win to be fresh in coaches’ minds for voting. Southmoore routed Norman, a game it should have won with ease.

From the Norman North perspective, the Timberwolves have been sent to the east side of the state for the playoffs, which is good news. Otherwise, they’d be the third team in the mix with Southmoore and Midwest City for the fourth spot in the west.

Instead, they get a little more favorable chance at the No. 4 in the east. Broken Arrow and Muskogee will be hosting, and Edmond Memorial is next in line. Then it comes to Norman North and Putnam City North for the final host berth.

That’s where Friday’s game comes into play.

No. 9 Norman North lost to a team ranked one spot higher in the polls. No. 10 PC North beat a team ranked five spots lower (No. 15 Choctaw). Norman North was at home. PC North was on the road. Norman North is 12-5. PC North is 12-6. A lot of factors that could weigh on coaches’ minds when they send in their ballots.

It’s a crazy situation and it’ll be fun to see how the voting shakes out. The best news for boys basketball fans around the metro, we should have plenty of good playoff hoops to choose from, because it looks like six of the eight boys regionals will be in the metro area.

All the postponements have disrupted the basketball season, that’s for sure. But it also gave all those who needed some time to rest an opportunity to do so.

Take Bishop McGuinness sophomore Matt Christiansen. He was back to being himself as the Irish held off rival Bishop Kelley for the win on homecoming.

Bishop McGuinness 52, Bishop Kelley 41 (Boys)

There is standing room only, and then there is whatever was at McGuinness on Friday. Kids were getting in the way of refs on the sidelines, cheerleaders were smacking me with pom poms.

If you had a seat, you were a lucky one as I don’t know how many more people could have fit into the gym. It did lead to a great atmosphere.

The Irish came out strong as senior Jameel Whitney was firing on all cylinders and Christiansen was establishing himself in the post.

Christiansen suffered a shoulder injury in New Mexico over the winter break and really hadn’t been the same since. He was back to being a beast, a confident beast at that.

The Irish took a comfortable 30-15 lead into halftime, but the Comets came out scorchin’ after the homecoming festivities and got it down to 36-35.

McGuinness took care of business in the fourth to take the 2-1 season edge vs. Kelley.

Christiansen finished with 12 points, and coach Tondrell Durham said he had around 10 rebounds. But the story was his will in this one. He came out looking to make a statement and did so.

Durham said Christiansen did a great job on making his moves in the post. And more importantly, he was decisive with his actions.

Whitney led all scorers with 15 while Joe Edmonds had 11 for the Irish. Joe Dowdell paced the Comets with 13 points.

Irish 39, Kelley 35 (Girls)

The first half was forgettable (12-11 Irish), but the second half gave us some fun and drama.

Irish sophomore Elyse Hight came up huge on this night, scoring 20. She was strong with the ball and kept derailing every Kelley run.

And boy did Kelley show some heart. The Irish have a great swarming defense and at 33-22 in the fourth, I had pegged this one as over.

But the Comets dug deep and cut it to two points on three occasions but ran out of gas (and time).

I’m more impressed with Hight each time I see her. She’s already creepin’ up on Cara Pugh and Alexa Lienhard. Can’t say enough about someone who is so strong with the ball and can convert when she’s hit in the post.

McGuinness make ups: The Stillwater game will not be made up while the Irish will travel to Lawton MacArthur next Saturday, Feb. 13.

Then Mother Nature gave the Patriots an extra week off, and now, Stogsdill is desperate to get his kids back on the court.

The good news is that Neal’s ankle should be good to go, not only tonight against Yukon, but Saturday at PC in a scheduled 6 p.m. tip time following a 4:30 girls game.

These two games will be important, because the Patriots would love to hold onto that No. 3 ranking for the playoff pairings, which will be announced Feb. 11. Losing at PC shouldn’t really hurt the Pats, since they beat the Pirates twice already, but you never know how much more a recent loss will weigh in a voter’s mind.

– Scott Wright, swright@opubco.com

And there’s something to be said for that, because even the best teams slip up in a game they should win. But the Panthers have been solid all year. Their seven losses have come against teams currently ranked in the top eight (Edmond Santa Fe twice, PC West three times, PC and Midwest City).

That’s really the only thing holding the Panthers back from joining that group of the elite teams in 6A. If they could find a way to knock off one of the big boys (they get one more shot each at PC and PC West), they’d be taken much more seriously as a state tournament contender.

PC North doesn’t have much size, but they play their game well. They made Edmond Santa Fe play ugly basketball to beat them on Wednesday night (23 turnovers for the Wolves). Had the Panthers been shooting better, they might have pulled the upset.

In general, their offense has settled in, with Armon Provo, Joe Summers and Devin Harris stepping into the role of top scorer on a seemingly rotating basis.

One piece of good news came last week when the OSSAA announced its east-west split for 5A and 6A. PC North got sent east along with Edmond Memorial and Norman North.

Memorial is good. Norman North isn’t playing as well as it was early in the year. Otherwise, Broken Arrow and Muskogee are the only east-side teams that should worry the Panthers.

Jenks isn’t as good as it was last year, and Union has had too many injuries to be a serious threat. Owasso has fallen off after earning preseason top-10 acclaim.

Playoff pairings come out Feb. 11, so that’s when we’ll really know what kind of shot PC North has at a state tournament run.

On the girls side, the Lady Panthers are in a similar position, having beaten most of the teams they should beat, with a couple exceptions. They’re on a three-game skid right now, hoping to get that turned around tonight against Choctaw.

They’re a balanced offensive team that can play some magnificent defense — see the 32-25 win over McGuinness a couple weeks back.

And the east-side trip for the playoffs is good for them, too, but not great. The west side has the state’s top four teams, but going east, there’s 10 of the top 16, making it a much deeper field to get through.

In other news, the Lady Panthers are wearing pink T-shirts during pregame warmups throughout February to raise awareness and highlight a fundraising campaign to fight breast cancer. Some concession stand proceeds from remaining home games (Feb. 9 vs. Yukon, Feb. 16 vs. PC West, Feb. 19 vs. Mustang) will go to cancer research.

With all the postponements because of the weather, it’s going to be a wacky couple of weeks for basketball across the state.

It’s also going to keep you on your toes with teams playing on random days, and conditioning is going to prove to be huge this next month.

The Edmond Memorial boys started the ’second half’ of the season strong with a convincing road win at Norman on Wednesday.

There is no doubt the Tigers have struggled this season, but the win is big for Memorial. You never know how a team will react after a tough loss to a rival (at Santa Fe).

But Memorial has a proven star in junior Obi Emegano, and a bevy of solid players who can contribute in so many other ways besides scoring.

The Bulldogs are once again on the road Friday at Del City. It’s tough to get your legs back after a long break but even tougher to do so on the road. A win here will speak volumes of Shane Cowherd’s club.

Girls

When is a four-game losing streak not that bad? When it’s to Norman North, Edmond North, Santa Fe and Norman.

But now the key is to not let those four losses lead to a dip in confidence. Coach Shane Coffey has remained pretty upbeat through it all, but I don’t think you’re going too far to say Friday is a must-win game.

Still think the Bulldogs have a much better chance because they’re going East this year, but they need to not be discouraged and come back strong Friday.

In basketball, sadly, it’s not that unusual. For quite a few years, college basketball coaches have started dipping into the recruiting pool when players were younger and younger. Now, though, that’s come to football, with the news that 13-year-old quarterback David Sills commits to USC. Yes, he’s 13.

Maybe this is how new USC coach Lane Kiffin needs to recruit since, in all likelihood, any sanctions that are put on the Trojans would be in the past by the time young Sills can officially sign with the men of Troy. Seantrel Henderson wishes he had the luxury of that kind of time.

In five years, anything could happen. Heck, in a few months, anything could happen. Just look at the situation at Texas Tech with Mike Leach and even at Tennessee/USC with Pete Carroll’s departure for the NFL and Kiffin’s bolting to the Trojans.

For another of doubtless countless examples of young recruiting gone awry, look at the story of Tamir Goodman, who committed to Maryland as a junior and was nicknamed “The Jewish Jordan” before a disagreement with Maryland’s coaching staff ended that commitment and he wound up at Towson.

On both sides, there’s no reason for commitments at that age. It puts an undue pressure on a 13-year-old who might not mature into the player it looks like he can be or might find he has different priorities in a college choice at 18 than he does right now when he can’t even drive himself to a practice. For USC, it does little other than generate some publicity now. Kiffin hasn’t been at a job for more than a year since serving as an assistant to Carroll at USC from 2001-2006

Through all the ups and downs and injuries, there was always one constant for the Deer Creek football team: its tremendous offensive line.

Anchoring the way were seniors Cale Coshow and Garrett Sullivan. Coshow signed to play baseball for OU while Sullivan made it official by signing to play football for UCO.

Former Muskogee and OU standout Seth Littrell, who played for the Sooners when Arizona coach Mike Stoops was OU’s defensive coordinator, was promoted to co-offensive coordinator with the Wildcats, Stoops told the Arizona Daily Star on Thursday night.

Littrell, 31, served as running backs and tight ends for Arizona last year. Prior to that, he served for four years as running backs coach under another former OU assistant, Mike Leach, at Texas Tech. Before that, he was a graduate assistant under Mark Mangino at Kansas.

“Everywhere Seth has been, they’ve won,” Stoops told the Daily Star. “He brings a winning attitude and a great knowledge and enthusiasm.”

Littrell will serve as co-coordinator with Bill Bedenbaugh. Bedenbaugh came to Arizona in 2007 after serving as an assistant at Texas Tech for five years.

Littrell is a big reason the Wildcats have made a strong recruiting push in the state. He helped Arizona get Owasso’s Trent Spurgeon in this year’s singing class. Midwest City defensive lineman Dominque Jones was committed to the Wildcats for a time as well before signing with Baylor.

Thursday, former Jones quarterback Daxx Garman, who’s now a student at Choctaw, became Arizona’s first commitment for the 2011 class.

The game will air at 1 p.m. on the CBS College Sports channel, which is available on cable and satellite specialty packages in OKC.

Interestingly, Karim, who played college football at Southern Illinois, is not playing for the team you’d expect. He’s suiting up for Team Texas on Saturday.

Of course, that doesn’t much matter. All that matters is that Karim is at the game, which is a chance to show off his talents for NFL scouts. Karim did not get invited to this month’s NFL Scouting Combine, but he’ll have a Pro Day later to give scouts an up-close look at his ability.

He rushed for 1,694 yards and 18 touchdowns as a senior at Southern Illinois, earning one of three finalist spots for the Walter Payton Award, given to the top player in Division I-AA.

He measured at 5-foot-8, 210 pounds this week at the Texas vs. The Nation practice (SIU listed him at 5-foot-11). But his speed and elusiveness will give him a chance to catch scouts’ eyes with the hope of being drafted or at least being brought into an NFL camp for the shot to earn a roster spot.

In fact, the 2004 PC North football team could be putting three rookies in the NFL next season, with Karim, former All-SEC placekicker Josh Shene of Ole Miss and some kid named Sam Bradford. Maybe you’ve heard of him.

NFLDraftScout.com has Bradford rated as the No. 2 quarterback, Karim as the No. 25 running back and Shene as the No. 4 kicker available.

Trying to track down all the make up dates for basketball for ‘my boys’. A couple (PCNorth/Santa Fe and Memorial/Norman have already been made up). Here is what I know as of now:

Saturday
Deer Creek vs. Piedmont
Edmond Santa Fe vs. Choctaw (make up of ‘no refs’ game)

Monday
Edmond North vs. Mustang

Tuesday
Deer Creek vs. Western Heights

Thursday
Edmond Santa Fe vs. Yukon

Monday, Feb. 15
Southmoore vs. Edmond Memorial

OCS plays Mt. St. Mary’s and Heritage Hall later in the season, so the first meeting for each has just been thrown out, too tough to try to make up.

Wasn’t too shocked to hear about Santa Fe’s Brian Mills heading to Princeton. Knew it would be one of those Ivy League schools.

Mills officially committed Friday and then signed on the dotted line Wednesday, leading a strong first class for coach Bruce Gowen.

A lot of people look at last year as a disappointment, but when you look at the numbers, that is tough to justify.

Mills was one of seven football kids to sign Wednesday. A couple of tough breaks derailed what could have been a memorable season for the Wolves.

Mills said Princeton had the right balance of athletics and academics. I guess you can say Princeton isn’t bad academically (sarcasm doesn’t come off too well in print).

It was a fun ceremony, and I took a goofy photo of some of the Santa Fe kids showing their support for Mills.

Santa Fe AD Barry Blagowsky said signing day is one of his favorite days, and I agree 100 percent.

The kids get to see that all the hard work was worth it and paid off.

Here is the list:

In case you missed it, I wrote about Star SPencer standout Sharane Campbell in today’s Hoop Dreams feature.

Hoop Dreams: Breaking horses old hat for Star Spencer’s Sharane Campbell

I’ve always enjoyed talking to Campbell and it wasn’t any different for this story. One of the things I didn’t get to write about in the story was about how she wound up on the Air Oklahoma Stars summer basketball team.

Campbell was playing summer league basketball with a group of girls she played softball with several years ago when they played the Stars. The Stars won comfortable but Campbell clearly proved she belonged on the same court with the team made up of elite players from around the state. A parent from her team told her father Paul that they should play with the team but Paul wasn’t so sure.

“To be honest, I didn’t like the Stars,” Paul Campbell said. “I thought they were too arrogant.”

But after talking to one of the team’s assistant coaches, they decided to play in the AAU state tournament with the team. Campbell played, started and won the MVP in the tournament. So she stayed on for the national tournament that year in Springfield, Mo. The Stars wound up finishing as runner up in the tournament.

“From then on, we were hooked with them,” Paul Campbell said.

The second senior season paid off as Clark has extended his playing days once again, signing with Northwestern Oklahoma State in Alva.

The Lions’ running back/linebacker suffered through a winless season last fall, but he was just happy to be back on the field. Just three games into what would have been his senior season in 2008, Clark incurred an infection in his leg that put him in the hospital and shelved him for the season.

After sitting out two games to start this season, Clark became one of the Lions’ best performers week in and week out.

NHS’ Kamra King added 12 points and Chelsea Key tossed in 10. The win gives the Tigers a little revenge after losing by a point at Edmond in December. That loss was the only loss Norman has on the season to a team that wasn’t ranked No. 1 at the time (Midwest City in 6A and Carl Albert in 5A).

Norman plays again Friday, hosting Southmoore.

Now coach Jeff Blough’s team finally gets a chance to play again but it will be against No. 1 Midwest City. But the team is hardly scared. For starters, the players just want to play someone — anyone. What’s more, they gave the Bombers a good game earlier this season.

The 11-2 T-Wolves host the 14-2 Bombers at 6:15 p.m. tonight. Midwest City is unbeaten against in-state teams, but Norman North has played the Bombers closer than anyone else this season, falling 55-42 at Midwest City on Dec. 15.

Former Jones quarterback Daxx Garman, who found himself in the middle of an eligibility controversy last season that left the Longhorns out of the playoffs, has committed to Arizona.

Garman is currently attending Choctaw but it’s unclear whether he will play for the Yellowjackets next year as a senior or move on elsewhere.

Choctaw coach Bill Bays said he’s received letters for Garman and has given them to the student but there has been no discussion over whether he would play.

“I don’t know about any of that but he’s a really good young man and very polite,” Bays said. “I’m happy to hear that for him.”

Garman also had an offer from North Carolina.

If he decided to play in-state next year, Garman would have to receive a hardship waiver from the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association.

Jones was forced to forfeit six wins, five from district play, late last season after Garman was ruled ineligible. Garman had transferred from Choctaw to Carl Albert and then moved into the Jones district and started going to school there. But because of his previous status as a transfer, a hardship waiver was required. Jones never filed for a waiver for Garman and a retroactive waiver application was denied.

Garman threw for 2,107 yards and 23 touchdowns last season.

Choctaw defensive end Hunter Davis received his first Division I offer last week when Kansas State extended an offer.

“He’s a big, strong, athletic young man,” Bays said. “There’s absolutely no doubt he’s got the tools to be a Division I football player.”

Still checking on this and the report that he’s now enrolled at Choctaw High School (which is where the family home is, although he’d still have to receive a hardship waiver from the OSSAA to go to school there), but former Jones QB Daxx Garman has committed to Arizona, according to Rivals.com and The Arizona Daily Star:
Arizona lands 2011 recruit, day after 2010 class signs

Garman, who transferred from Choctaw to Carl Albert and then to Jones, was at the center of a controversy late in the season that led to the Longhorns being forced to forfeit games and being knocked out of the playoffs. The link calls it a “clerical error” although it was a bit more than that as the hardship waiver was eventually denied when it was filed. Garman certainly deserves a second chance at football somewhere but it’ll be interesting to see how this shakes out if he does indeed stay at Choctaw.

It’s never to early to look to next year’s signing day and after the craziness of yesterday’s signday day wound down, Jenni Carlson and myself discussed what’s on the horizon for next year:

Some quick signing day news and notes from the players who are going out of state to play Division I football:

-The Dallas Morning News counts both Clinton’s Delans Griffin and Carl Albert’s Tre Porter as players that can have an immediate impact at Texas Tech: Red Raiders Make A Case for Defense With Their Class

-From Texas Tech running backs coach Chad Scott: “Delans has great quickness and great hands. He catches the ball well in the flat and has the ability turn upfield quickly. Delans has the speed to get around the end when he carries the ball. We are excited to have him in this offense.”

-From Texas Tech defensive coordinator James Willis: “Tre’Vante is an outstanding football player. He has great ball skills, and when combined with his size and explosiveness, make him a dangerous player. Tre’Vante is the prototypical corner that will do well at the college level.”

-The Waco Tribune-Herald features capsules of Baylor’s signing class, including Midwest City defensive lineman Dominque Jones and Lawton MacArthur defensive back Tuswani Copeland. They also feature comments from Bears coach Art Briles on the two: Meet the New Baylor Bears

-Mack Brown talked about Tulsa Central’s Demarco Cobbs at length:

On Demarco Cobbs playing running back: He and I will make that decision. We’re obviously in a position where we want to run the ball better and we’ve been talking about it and we haven’t done it, so we’re going to find a group of running backs and if we aren’t satisfied coming out of spring, Traylon will be a tailback for us, and we do feel like when you look at Demarco, he can play safety, he could play outside linebacker, I think he’s about 215 [pounds], he could play wide receiver, he could play in the flex position inside or he could play tailback. There are so many things he can do. What I honestly told him, because he’s a quarterback, is just trust me and when you come in we’ll let you play a couple of different spots when you start. He wants to play next year, so I’ll try my best to find a place where he can get on the field and help us. He can return kickoffs or sure, I haven’t seen him catch punts, some can and some can’t, but those are things that he might do as well.

On Cobbs being offered a scholarship as a quarterback: I think everybody offered him like we did. Everybody sees what you saw, and we all have to figure out what he does best. The only thing he told me is, “I want to play early. I’d rather play offense than defense if that chance is available,” and that’s it. He really doesn’t know where he wants to play or what he would play best, he just wants to play.

-The Columbia Tribune quotes Missouri assistant coach David Yost talking about Edmond North’s Xavier Smith: Missouri football recruits

-The Morning News also writes that Madill standout Darryl Fields fills an immediate need for Southern Methodist: Jones says SMU class is best he’s had in college football

-New Mexico football coach Mike Locksley on Del City defensive lineman J.J. Hugine: “J.J. fits coach Rubin Carter’s mold on the line. He is a tall, long athletic kid with good lower-body strength and he can really run. From a skill level, he has an explosive first step as a defensive end. He has tremendous quickness and explosive burst out of his stance. He’s a great pass rusher.”

-Robbie Neiswanger of the Arkansas News Bureau wrote about the Razorbacks’ class, which included several last minute additions from Oklahoma. Former OU standout Garrick McGee, now the Hogs’ offensive coordinator, is a big reason for the Razorbacks’ strong finish in the state: Arkansas gets defensive on signing day

-The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette has a video that discusses the same thing, with comments from Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino, recruiting coordinator Tim Horton and McGee: Arkansas’ McGee, Petrino discuss Oklahoma recruiting

-Colorado State coach Steve Fairchild on Southmoore’s Mason Myers: “He is out of Southmoore High School, right outside Oklahoma City. He is a true center, which is a nice thing to get occasionally, particularly in a class of four linemen. It’s nice to get a true center. He was all-state in the state of Oklahoma, over a 4.0 student, was a power lifter and has a big upside and I think he has a chance to come in here and make his mark pretty early.”

-Wyoming assistant coach Jason Ray on Lawton’s Sonny Puletasi: “A very athletic player that can get off the ball really well.”

It was a quiet signing day at Bishop McGuinness, at least compared to the last couple of years. But one name did sign on the dotted line is one of ‘my boys’ Jameel Whitney.

Whitney has been a pleasure to watch both on the gridiron and on the court, and the linebacker signed with East Central.

Whitney just has a motor that won’t stop. He was phenomenal in the limited number of games I got to see him, and I would have loved to have seen his epic outing against Douglass.

I’ll get a chance to see Whitney back on the court Friday night for homecoming as the Irish host Bishop Kelley. The teams have split so far this season.

The Comets and Irish played twice in less than a week in December, with the Irish winning the first one and Kelley getting the edge in the second meeting.

Deer Creek’s Garrett Sullivan was an interesting case. It’s tough to move during the middle of any school year, but to do it in the middle of your junior year is really tough.

But he made the most of it when he moved from Texas to Edmond, and it all culminated with the senior offensive lineman signing with Central Oklahoma on Wednesday.

Sullivan talked about how important his family has been in helping him deal with everything and being close to home was definitely an added bonus with UCO so close.

Football coach Grant Gower couldn’t stop gushing about Sullivan and kicker Cole Mount, who signed with Washburn.

The Antlers were hammered with injuries or else there is no doubt in my mind they would have been playing in the postseason.

Mount is a sensational kicker and punter and actually probably could have dabbled in some of the skilled position spots.

The other Antler to sign was cross country runner Hillarie Kessler. She’s been a star in all four years for Deer Creek. Looking forward to seeing what she can do in her final go-around in the spring. She inked with Western State in Colorado.

Good stuff and love the organization of the Deer Creek ceremonies, makes it easy.

Look for a video with Sullivan on NewsOK in the next day or so. His journey always stood out to me, so even though it isn’t one of the major signings, Sullivan deserved it.

So far, this is the signing list that I have from Edmond Memorial. If you know more kids, shoot it this way. It’s been tough trying to get all the names.

Santa Fe has the history of having solid recruits. North had this year’s most-prized recruit in Edmond (Xavier Smith).

But for my money, the 2009 Memorial football team will be one that will be remembered for a long time.

Nothing flashy about this group, but they played as a team and played for each other. And in the end, made the quarterfinals for the first time since the Edmond split.

A lot of that has to do with the defensive back heading to Fort Hays St., Nelson Medeiros. I’ve said it before, but he is one of the best leaders I’ve seen.

But this team was just that, a TEAM. You knew there weren’t going to be any can’t-miss prospects, but there are a ton of guys you’d love to have on your team.

Now next year? Well, that might be a little different with Kameron Doolittle and Connor Myers anchoring a solid class. This year was about a bunch of kids believing in a new coach (Justin Merideth) and turning heads with each big win.

*Will walk on
**Graduated last year, currently enrolled at Kansas State

The Boston Celtics said guard J.R. Giddens has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.

The team said the procedure Tuesday was a success, but no date has been set for the former John Marshall star’s return.

Giddens has played in 21 games for the Celtics this season. He scored a season-high six points and grabbed seven rebounds against the New Jersey Nets on Jan. 13.

He has averaged 18 points and 4.5 rebounds in four games on assignment for the Maine Red Claws of the NBA Development League.

Bronco defensive end Alex Dowty also inked a letter of intent with Washburn University, an NCAA Division II school in Topeka, Kan.

Dowty had 17 sacks his senior year, giving him 33 over the last two seasons. He was among the leaders in Class 6A and the state both years. After a hectic recruiting process, he was pleased to sign his LOI on Wednesday.

“I’m kind of glad it’s over,” he said. “It got stressful at times. I’m ready to go up to Washburn and play some ball. My official visit in January was what sold me — their coaching staff, their players, their facilities, just everything about it.

“I’m actually hoping I get redshirted, because if I do, it gives me that much more of an advantage to go in there and be a big factor on the defense, really contribute to the program.”

Dowty also talked about the stresses of the recruiting process.

“It was stressful never knowing what’s gonna happen,” he said. “Are they gonna give you a scholarship? Are you gonna travel to visit this college for no reason? Are the coaches going to be a good fit for you? Are the players gonna be nice? All that stuff. The little things that lead to you making your decision.” 

Also as part of Wednesday’s festivities at Mustang’s new Wellness Center, girls soccer player Bailey Boulware signed with OU.

This will be shorter than usual as I’m dog-tired from all the nonstop action from signing day and basketball.

Santa Fe 58, Putnam North 37 (Girls)

Thought this would be more competitive, but a change in focus led to the convincing road win for Paul Bass’ club.

The Wolves have come out less than pumped lately in the first half, but a re-commitment to defense sparked their offense, an early lead and a relatively easy win.

Santa Fe got big-time games from the post. When it gets that, it’s scary to go with Courtney Walker and Jimi Blagowsky.

Senior Sophia Mahmoodjanloo (fun name to say) got the start and made it count with 16 points and six rebounds. But Tori Lanier showed she wants her spot back with a solid 10 points off the bench.

Santa Fe led 27-12 at halftime and scored the first 13 points of the second half. PCN got it down to 48-33 but never any closer.

Walker was shot was off tonight, but she finished with 11 points, six assists and eight rebounds while Blagowsky added 12 points and seven assists. Kendrea Harbert had 14 for the Panthers.

Up next is homecoming vs. Mustang on Friday and a trip to Choctaw on Saturday.

Santa Fe 57, Putnam North 46 (Boys)

Not one you’ll put in the time capsule, but a solid road win. The Panthers got it down to 44-43 with less than six minutes left when the Wolves stepped it up.

Junior Josh Richardson was the star on this night. The team needed an emotional lift, and he provided it with 15 points.

Both teams weren’t as crisp as thought they would be. Yea, the break hurts, but I thought the second half was going to have better execution.

Coach Shawn Schenk went deep into his bench, maybe to keep his guys fresh for the next four days.

Putnam North was led by Joe Summers, who had 14 points. Devin Harris also played a solid game for Rick Harris’ club.

Star Spencer running back Terence Olds was one of four Bobcats who signed with Northeastern Oklahoma A&M on Wednesday.

Olds, an Oklahoman All-State player, ran for 1,209 yards and 17 touchdowns despite splitting time with fellow standout Darwin Rideau at running back.

“Terence wants to go D-I so it should be a great fit for him there,” Bobcats coach Darrell Hall said.

Also signing with NEO from the Class 4A champions were Franky Jamison, Emmitt Jones and Irving Caldwell.

Jeff Wright signed with Langston.

Rideau is expected to sign with a junior college soon.

Defensive lineman J.J. Hugine headlined Del City’s signing class Wednesday, where six Eagles signed to continue playing football in college.

Hugine signed with New Mexico following a senior season where he recorded 102 tackles and five sacks and helped Del City to a 7-3 record.

Joining Hugine in signing were wide receiver Chris McAlister (Central Arkansas), Lamares Shields (East Central), Julian Brockington (NEO), Joel Reeser (NEO) and Demantre Harris (Garden City).

While McAlister had several Division I-A (FBS) offers early, he wound up at FCS Central Arkansas.

“It’s a perfect system for him,” Del City coach Nick Warehime said. “They spread the field a lot and run a lot of four-wides.”

Del City wide receiver Donavan Dan will wait to sign.

Earlier today, I went out to the signing of Carl Albert’s Tre Porter. Here’s a link to the story I wrote from there. Porter seemed really relieved to have the signing behind him after the drama of the past month.

Here’s the second of three videos today featuring myself and Jenni Carlson discussing signing day:

Tuttle coach Phil Koons knows a lot about Air Force. His son Sterling is a cadet there, so he knows what Biddy is in for though he takes pride in preparing him for what lies ahead.

“It’s hard not to get choked up when you see these guys,” Koons said. “You get to know them in grade school and you watch them grow into young men. You like to think you had a part of them getting there by being so demanding. As far as the time and physical constraints we put on them it prepares them for what they’re going to experience.”

As for Biddy, he’s excited about the opportunity to play college football on the Division I level. Air Force got interested in him as a junior. He also drew interest from Southwestern, UCO and several more Division II schools. He leaves behind a strong legacy as one of the school’s best players.

“I hope I left a legacy of hard work and living by the examples God sets,” Biddy said. “I hope the guys coming up behind me can follow it.”

Yukon hasn’t had a signing ceremony yet, planning one for the next few days. Part of the reason is that another football player or two could be signing letters of intent shortly as well.

I’ll catch up with all of them when it all shakes out.

UPDATE: I spoke with Yukon coach Todd Wilson shortly after 9 p.m. and DB Hunter Bohannan has signed a letter of intent with the Moundbuilders of Southwestern College in Winfield, Kan. There are still a couple other Millers still have opportunities to play college ball, so there is likely to be more signing news out of Yukon in the coming days.

“Hopefully, I’ll be starting,” said the Norman North defensive back. “If I’m not starting, I should be playing a lot.”

A need for added strength in the secondary means Brown is in a good situation for early playing time. A 5-11, 190-pound safety, Brown had 72 tackles and two interceptions for the T-Wolves last season.

Brown will be joined at ECU by Norman North teammate Richard Peoples. A standout running back, Peoples ran for 919 yards and averaged 7.0 yards per carry.

Scott Whitaker, Colton Cline, Nick Canavan and Collin Yeary also inked letters of intent Wednesday at Norman North.

“There have been a lot of good things come out of me hurting my knee,” said Cline, who was an All-State offensive lineman after gaining a medical hardship waiver that allowed him to play this season after missing all of last year. “I got to play with my younger brother (Caleb, also an offensive lineman). I’m a year older (than other true freshmen), which will help get me off to a better start playing in college. And, really, before I hurt my knee, I wasn’t being recruited by anybody. After I came back and went to some camps, my name started popping up on the radar.”

Granted, it’s not often a player considers one of the most debilitating injuries in sports to be a silver lining. But the 6-4, 300-pound Cline has nothing but a positive outlook about it. And that’s more surprising considering the injury continued to cause him trouble long after he was finished with re-hab.

“He’s had a tough time,” said Norman Noirth coach Lance Manning. “After he started playing again his knee cap kept dislocating. He had to deal with that until the doctors found a brace that would work for him. But he played through a lot of pain.”

He not only played through it well enough to earn a football scholarship, he’s still putting his knee to the test everyday as one of the state’s top wrestlers. Cline, one of the favorites to win the Class 6A heavyweight title, is 27-3 with 26 pins on the mat. Younger brother Caleb, a junior, is also a standout wrestler at 215 pounds.

“It was real important to me to get the chance to play both sports with my brother,” said Cline, who will play in both the All-State game and the Oil Bowl this summer. “I don’t think I’ll ever have that chance again  —  unless he comes to Sam Houston State, too. But I think he’s going to have more offers than what I had.”

As for wrestling in college, Cline is only going to focus on football at Sam Houston State. But he’s not completing leaving the sport.

“I might do some coaching while I’m down there,” he said. “But my wrestling days will be over after this season. Wrestling isn’t too big in Texas, so this is it for me for wrestling.”

In the end, Southmoore wide receiver Nyko Symonds wanted to see his dreams through. Given that, Symonds elected to turn down several scholarship offers and will be an “invited walk-on” at Oklahoma.

“I have always wanted to play for a top D-I program and OU has given me the chance to achieve my goals and dreams” said Symonds. “OU called a few weeks ago and invited me on a visit, offered me and then coach Norvell and coach Gundy called and said since I was invited I will have the same opportunity as everyone else on the roster and that is all I asked for was a chance.”

Symonds was a big-play receiver for Southmoore. He averaged 23.4 per catch last season and helped lead the SaberCats to the Class 6A semifinals.

“They said wide receiver was a priority for them in this class and they wanted me to be a part of it,” said Symonds. “I want to contribute to the team in the future and I will work hard, do whatever it takes to achieve my goals and I appreciate the OU coaches giving me this great opportunity.”

Seventeen offers is an incredible amount, likely the highest number in the state this year. And though the talent obviously had to be there, Southmoore assistant coach Jason Melot knows full well some help letting colleges know about that talent is required.

Because of that, Southmoore is one of the more progressive schools in aiding players in the college recruiting process.

At his last job Melot saw a wealth of next-level players come through the system, but not a wealth of scholarship offers. And it opened his eyes to what could be done to help.

“What really made me realize is we had a stud linebacker  —  a kid who could play in college  —  and he was recruited by nobody,” said Melot, now in his second year as Southmoore’s assistant head coach and inside linebackers coach. “He wasn’t getting letters or calls or being looked at. He came to talk to me and he broke down. He said he had given his all to the team and didn’t know what else he could have done.

“When he left the room, I vowed that I wouldn’t let that happen again.”

Thanks to an array of promotional tools, web-savvy and creative thinking, Melot and fellow assistant Jeff Brickman helped spread the word on Southmoore players coast to coast.

This past season more than 6,000 e-mails promoting Southmoore players were sent out to college coaches. And more than 1,000 e-mails from college coaches requesting information or video came in. What’s more, Melot is the webmaster for the team website, gosabercats.com, which rivals many college sites. The site not only is loaded with video and statistics, it has helpful information for the athletes who are trying to land a scholarships such as links to the ACT website and NCAA eligibility website.

“Doing what the coaches did for us in terms of helping us get recruited was so important,” said defensive tackle Ryland Widener, who will sign with Northern Colorado today. “We have a lot of good players, but a lot of good players go overlooked all the time. If we didn’t have that kind of help getting recognized, I know for a fact that we wouldn’t have 17 players with scholarship offers.”

Widener knows of what he speaks. Before moving to Southmoore for his senior season, he spent three seasons as a starter but had to scratch and claw to get his name out there to recruiters.

“For a long time my dad was having to do everything,” he said. “But I’m sure college coaches would see the (information) from my dad and say, ‘Well, it’s his son. Of course he thinks he’s good.’ Having it come from a coach makes a huge difference.”

Aside from the team website, Southmoore further enhanced its players’ chances by sending out e-mails to coaches which had a player’s picture, a short bio, contact information, ACT score and agility drill scores among other things. The e-mail also included a link to view a player’s updated statistics and another link to view a player’s highlight film.

Many times, highlight DVDs aren’t made and sent out until the season is complete. Southmoore players were able to continually update their film throughout the season.

“Our kids do that weekly,” said Melot, who also uploads video of players to recruiting sites such as Rivals.com and ESPN.com. “When we watch film as a unit, our kids have a note card and they write down the number of the highlight they want added to their film. Then that gets put into the system.

“And that was good in other ways, too. It made our kids watch film different. Instead of just watching the football, they watch what they do on every play. They really pay attention to what they’re doing the whole time on the field.”

 In the end though, all the high-tech advancements in aiding recruiting doesn’t mean much without coaching staffs being willing to utilize it.

“We have a unique group of coaches who are in it for the kids,” said Southmoore coach Chris Jensen. “We’re committed to helping them as much as we can and that goes beyond just the time they’re in high school. Victories are exciting, of course, but that’s not why you coach. Working with kids and your relationship with those kids is what stays consistent, not wins and losses.”

MIDWEST CITY—It would’ve been easy for Midwest City’s Dominque Jones to get discouraged earlier this month when Arizona told him they needed to go in a different direction.

Instead, the defensive lineman made the best of it, keeping up with his work to get qualified and culminating with his signing with Baylor on Wednesday morning.

“It wasn’t frustrating,” Jones said. “It was kind of my fault because I committed late and they filled up. It just wasn’t meant for me to go there.”

It was a busy day for the Jones family, who watched Dominque sign with the Bears before loading up and driving across town to Carl Albert to watch cousin Markell Walker sign with East Central.

Jones signed early Wednesday morning before going through a signing ceremony at Midwest City High.

After going through the signing motion again, Jones placed a Baylor hat that was much too small on top of his head.

“It’s just a feeling that that’s where I need to be,” Jones said. “God closed the door at Arizona and I guess he just opened another up to me.”

Jones was one of two state players who signed with Baylor. Lawton MacArthur’s Tuswani Copeland was the other.

“Baylor’s an upcoming place,” Jones said. “The coaches have a plan and seem to be building for success.”

Jones was an Oklahoman All-Stater this season, picking up 118 tackles, eight sacks and returning an interception 61 yards for a touchdown.

At 6-foot-2, 278 pounds, Jones feels like he can quickly find playing time along the Bears’ frontline.

“That’s what I’m working toward,” Jones said. “I’ve got a plan to get my academics taken care of and I’m on track to be eligible if I keep doing what I’m supposed to do.”

 Also Wednesday, Midwest City wide receiver Cole Eddy signed with UCO. The Bombers will have several other football players sign with colleges in the coming days, most with jucos.

Jenni Carlson talked this morning about Calvin Barnett, Jarrett Lake and Tre Porter:

Defensive backs Antonio Jenkins and Matthew Tingle both inked with NEO on Wednesday morning, hoping to use the two-year school known for producing a high number of NCAA Division I signees into D-I scholarships for themselves.

“Me and Matt both believe we’re D-I caliber players,” Jenkins said. “We’re gonna go prove it, let the scouts know they made a mistake by passing us up.”

Jenkins led the Panthers with 124 tackles from his free safety position. Tingle had three interceptions at cornerback.

“We think it’ll be good,” added Tingle. “We figured we’d go to junior college, work hard, get stronger, get quicker, get faster, join a bigger league with bigger boys and show them what we’ve got.”

And the two long-time friends are excited about going to college together.

“It’s perfect. We’ve always dreamed of this day, going to the next level in college,” Jenkins said. ”One dream coming true, more to come.”

Two other Panther players have college football awaiting them, though they did not sign Wednesday. Defensive tackle Jeremy Tillman verbally committed to Weber State on Tuesday night, but the coach at the Ogden, Utah, school wants him to wait to sign until after his official visit later this month.

WR/DB Dillon Schooley has an offer from Weber State, but is considering joining the Oklahoma program as an invited walk-on.

The full signing list from PC North:

Football: Antonio Jenkins and Matthew Tingle, NEO.
Softball: Lauren Poole, Seminole State.
Girls soccer: Ashley Bechtold, Missouri Southern; Meghan McMahon, Oklahoma City.
Boys soccer: Tyler Groh and Matt Bray, Missouri State; Dillon Stallings and Logan Lax, Oklahoma  Baptist.

I love signing day. Love seeing the kids get their reward for all the hard work. Love seeing how proud the parents and coaches are of the kids. What can I say, I’m a softie at heart.

The first of many stops today was at Edmond North. The prized signee was cornerback Xavier Smith as he inked his name to play for Missouri.

Well, truth be told, he said he signed it at 7:01 a.m. Wednesday. Yea, I was still asleep at that time.

But Smith was one of 13 kids signing somewhere, and he was joined with two of his running mates in the secondary: Rickey Lawyer (NEO) and Brandon Downing (Washburn University).

The other big-time signee was kicker Austin Brasher, who signed with BYU.

- Great to see Casey Distaso sign with Georgetown. I’ll be going on year 3 as the tennis writer here shortly, and he has improved with each year in every way imaginable.

- The OU soccer program just got stronger with the additions of Camille Sanders and Carley Yates, two of the better players in the state.

And for my full story on Smith and his secondary mates, here ya go.

Smith makes it official, signs with Missouri
By Robert Przybylo
Staff Writer
BPrzybylo@opubco.com

EDMOND – Edmond North senior Xavier Smith has kind of been forgotten in the last couple of months.

When talking about big recruits, his name was left out of the conversation. Not because his play and potential didn’t warrant mentioning, but when you commit July 22, there isn’t much drama.

Smith committed to the University Missouri in the summer, never second-guessed his decision and wearing nothing but Mizzou colors, signed Wednesday morning at a ceremony at the North High gym.

“It just makes it feel more official. My heart has been with Missouri for a long time,” Smith said. “It makes me feel that all the hard work and sacrifices have been worth it.”

Smith was a standout cornerback for the Huskies, who was among the best cover-corners in the state. However, he also wasn’t afraid to lower his shoulder and hit somebody. Smith said he will continue to play in the secondary for the Tigers.

It was only fitting that the North secondary, which were the leaders of the team all season, got to shine on this day as three of the four signed to play college ball.

Cornerback Rickey Lawyer signed with Northeastern while safety Brandon Downing signed with Washburn University in Kansas.

“It’s really special to be able to share this moment with them,” Smith said. “I actually pulled out a photo album of when we were all younger and still playing DB. We’re real lucky to be able to do this together.”

Luck had nothing to do with it for Smith, who displayed on and off the field why he was such a coveted recruit.

North coach Jeremy Dombek noticed a change in Smith this season as Dombek said Smith relished being thrust into the leadership position and didn’t disappoint.

Smith said the family atmosphere and the Missouri coaching staff are the two biggest reasons he will be attending the school.

The Huskies had a total of eight football players sign Wednesday, with kicker Austin Brasher signing with Brigham Young as the other Division I signee.

Before everyone gets lost in the hysteria that is signing day, here is the video from Tuesday night’s Holland Hall victory over Casady in overtime.

Holland Hall junior Kwame Sexton hits a game-winning 3 as time expires for the 51-48 win, seconds after Casady’s Alex Dudley hits a 3 to tie it up.

Jenks’ Jarrett Lake has signed a letter of intent with Arkansas, becoming the first surprise of signing day in the state.

Lake had committed to OU in July and remained committed to the Sooners throughout the year, even as he was ruled ineligible at Jenks.

Lake’s eligibility was at the center of a scandal that saw Jenks forfeit games from last season and wound up with Trojans’ coach Allan Trimble being suspended for the remainder of the year.

Lake considered a transfer to Tulsa’s Holland Hall after being ruled ineligible by the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association but elected to stay at Jenks and finish his senior season there.

Other in-state players that have signed (as of 9:30 a.m.):
Jake Alexander, Jenks (Tulsa)
Aaron Colvin, Owasso (OU)
Johnny Deaton, Sand Springs (OSU)*
Delans Griffin, Clinton (Texas Tech)
Austin Haywood, Southmoore (OU)
Alec Henry, Tulsa Union (Tulsa)

Earlier tonight, I talked to Star Spencer standout Sharane Campbell and one of the things I asked her about was the layoff that most teams around the city area have gone through over the past week.

“I’m ready to get back to playing,” Campbell said.

Campbell said since her team hasn’t been able to practice this week, she’s spent as much time as possible at a local gym, although not nearly as much as she’d like to.

Oklahoma City schools figure to be back in action Friday. Most of the games canceled last Friday will be made up Saturday with the exception of Star Spencer-Douglass. That game will be played Feb. 13 at Northwest. That’s not unusual for those teams to meet in the Knight’s gym. Last season’s second regularly scheduled game between the two was also played at Northwest.

Friday’s schedule:
Centennial at Northwest
Douglass at Capitol Hill
Northeast at Southeast
Star Spencer at Millwood
U.S. Grant at John Marshall

Well, that’s one way to be re-introduced to basketball after all these weather closings. A chaotic ending sees one rival walk away with a buzzer beater on the other’s home floor.

Holland Hall 51, Casady 48 – OT (Boys)

Knew there was potential for fireworks when both coaches were out of timeouts with 54 seconds left in overtime. That’s when the kids just play on instinct and you get the dramatics.

Casady’s Alex Dudley hit a game-tying 3 (off a great pick by Ryan Shelley) to make it 48-48 in the closing seconds.

However, that was just enough time for Holland Hall’s Kwame Sexton to rise up to the occasion. He took it the length of the floor, pulled up for 3 and there ya go.

Casady coach Josh Bottomly was thrilled with the team’s effort and said it ranks in the top 5 games he’s ever been a part in.

He knows he has a bunch of football players trying to play basketball, but he also knows there is certain grit, toughness and pride in this club.

Entering this game, I thought Holland Hall would roll right through the Cyclones. Sexton and William Tisdale are dang good, if you haven’t seen ‘em.

But Casady really executed well in keeping it a low-scoring game. Plus, the Cyclones took it to the Dutch. Bentley Williams and Graham Bennett, on certain plays, just said they weren’t going to be denied.

Sexton might be one of the best leapers in the state. He’s got the kind of ups where even if he’s guarded, you tell him to shoot because he’s that much higher than anyone else.

Sexton finished with a game-high 23 points while Tisdale had 12. Shelley led Casady with 14 points while Dudley had 10.

If you missed the crazy ending on Cox, well, that’s what the Boneman is here for. Look for video of Dudley’s and Sexton’s shots on NewsOK on Wednesday as well as a short video with Sexton.

Casady led for the entire third quarter and the teams traded the lead back and forth throughout the fourth. Sexton had a chance to win it with the game tied 41-41, but his shot was off the mark.

Holland Hall is now 16-4, and I think could compete with anybody in 3A (Brad Shelley’s club beat Cascia Hall). Casady falls to 8-10, but Bottomly said there is no quit in this team. Interesting to see how both teams bounce back later this week.

Holland Hall 42, Casady 21 (Girls)

Townsend sisters take out Casady

There is a reason the Holland Hall girls basketball team is undefeated in conference play, and Casady found out why Tuesday.

The Dutch jumped out to an early lead and never looked back in the win at Casady.

Holland Hall was paced by sisters Paris and Jules Townsend as Paris had a game-high 16 points while Jules had 15.

Molly Brown led Casady with eight points.

The Norman girls are ranked fourth at 12-3, while Edmond Memorial is No. 10 at 8-7. Edmond beat Norman in a thriller on Dec. 8, 57-56.

While I was camped out at the Bruce Gray Invitational at Deer Creek last week, had a chance to spend a good portion of the final two days with football coach Grant Gower.

Last season is still a little sour because of all those injuries the team went through, but he got excited talking about the college prospects of lineman Garrett Sullivan and kicker Cole Mount.

As of then, neither had committed anywhere. But the call came Monday night that Sullivan will sign with Central Oklahoma and Mount will put his signature to play for Wasburn (Kansas).

Sullivan is a beast, and it’s great he was able to find a place while Mount was one of the most consistent kickers in the state. Cale Coshow could have joined this list, but of course, he has signed with OU to play baseball.

Either way, I’ll be sure to make the trip Antler way Wednesday afternoon to celebrate Sullivan’s and Mount’s day.

Santa Fe AD Barry Blagowsky is bombarding me right now with stuff, all good stuff. First, some basketball updates.

Santa Fe vs. Putnam North will be Wednesday. Girls at 5 p.m., boys at 6:30.

Santa Fe vs. Yukon will be next Thursday (Feb. 11). No JV games. Girls at 5:30, boys at 7.

The Wolves have nine kids signing Wednesday. One in soccer, one in track and seven in football. I know about Alex Land to Weber State and Brian Mills to Princeton, and I’m sure there are others I’m just forgetting.

Mills committed to Princeton last Friday. I spent all weekend hounding him, so I’ma give him the bizness about not picking up his phone for me.

Mills was extremely impressive this season. He’s not a bad runner, but he is one heckuva leader and person and helped keep this team together during the heartbreaking struggles.

After being 1-7, the Wolves closed out the season with back-to-back wins against Norman North and Moore to finish 3-7. In the Moore game, Mills eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark. It was announced by the PA announcer, and you could tell it meant something to Mills.

Looking forward to getting out there for a double dip of Santa Fe sports Wednesday with the signing day stuff and then the basketball games at PC North.

We’re once again weather-ed out but hopefully the kids will be back Wednesday for Signing Day. I’m headed to Edmond North in the morning to see Xavier Smith sign with Missouri.

But Smith is far from being the lone Husky inking his name to play somewhere. As of Monday, this was the list North AD Tom Snider had for me.

Xavier Smith  Football Missouri
Austin Brasher Football BYU
Joe Aska Football Garden City Community College (Boneman’s note: Aska hasn’t taken the ACT yet, so that hurt his standing with D-I schools)
Brandon Downing  Football Washburn University
Colton Byford  Football UCO
Ricky Lawyer   Football NEO
Blake Gatewood Foootball  UCO
Richard Sims  Football Dort College

Casey Distaso  Tennis  Georgetown

Carly Yates   Girls Soccer  OU
Camille Sanders  Girls Soccer OU
Sherri Collins Girls Soccer  UCO
Haley Harryman Girls Soccer  OSU

Drumroll……..the winner is…..

Colton Cline, Norman North, Heavyweight
Cline is a three year starter for the T-Wolves at heavy and he’s apparently saving his best for last. Of his 28 wins this season, Cline had an incredible 27 falls according to coach Jay Gibson. That’s an amazing stat at a weight class where falls can be rare.

Gracey has missed the past month and a half after undergoing surgery for an injury to his arm. Surber said he’s not out of the woods yet, but will get his cast off this week and hopes to be back as soon as possible.

“He’s the kind of kid that if there’s any chance at all he can go, he’ll do whatever it takes to make it back,” Surber said.

Kamra King, Norman

Basketball

The junior point guard led the fourth-ranked Norman girls team to a 53-45 victory at No. 7 Lawton. King, Norman’s leading scorer on the season, had 17 points in Tuesday’s game. She also scored 23 against Lawton earlier this season.

Others:

Jeannie Ramon, Norman

Basketball

Ramon scored 11 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in Tuesday’s win over Lawton.

Laran Vanderpool, Norman

Basketball

Vanderpool scored a season-high 10 points in helping the Tigers move to 12-3 on the season.

Colton Cline, Norman North

Wrestling

Cline recorded a pin in 1:23 at heavyweight in the T-Wolves’ dual win over Enid Tuesday.

Aaron White, Norman North

Wrestling

The 140-pounder recorded a fall in 3:34 in North’s win over Enid.

Blake Pulliam, Westmoore

Basketball

Pulliam led the Jaguars to a thrilling 67-66 overtime victory over Mustang Tuesday. In the lone game of the week, Pulliam scored a game-high 20 points.

Others:

Brooke Hagemann, Westmoore

Basketball

Hagemann led the Westmoore girls basketball team in scoring with nine points in a loss to Mustang.

Kyle Lakin, Westmoore

Basketball

Lakin scored 11 points in the Jags’ one-point triumph over Mustang.

Since just about every team only had one opportunity to make an impression (some had none), thought I’d just combine the player of the week entry this week.

And any chance of hoping to see this week’s player of the week on Monday has gone out the window as Oklahoma Christian and Heritage Hall has once again been postponed.

But because of his game-high 23 points and leading the team to a victory against No. 1-ranked and previously unbeaten Bethel, OCS junior T.J. Holland is the combined Edmond/Private schools Player of the Week.

Holland has had to learn to be more aggressive. He admitted that it was tough early on, but he’s kinda getting the hang of it now.

Thinking this break may actually hurt the Saints team as they were just starting to put everything together and gel as a team. Will they be able to still build off that momentum a full week later?

I wrote a piece about the OCS boys team in Monday’s paper. For that, here ya go.

Other contenders

Courtney Walker and A.J. Anderson, Santa Fe, Basketball: Was sensational in that great OT win against Edmond Memorial, has most complete game in the state. Anderson made clutch shots in victory.

Paige Locke and Alie Decker and Obi Emegano, Memorial, Basketball: The Memorial leaders in that great battle with Santa Fe. Emegano was a beast in losing effort.

Daniel Emesiani and Elizabeth Donohoe, North, Basketball: Boys lost at the buzzer to Putnam North while Donohoe was sensational once again in a blowout win (11 pts, 16 rebs).

Deer Creek and North wrestling: In blowout wins, the teams combined for a 134-18 margin of victory. DC beat Clinton 71-9 while North took out Putnam West 63-9.

Kaitlin Kliewer, Memorial, Swimming: Went more in-depth on this last week, but Kliewer nabbed two titles as Memorial beat North in the Edmond City showdown.

Joe Edmonds and Cara Pugh, Bishop McGuinness, Basketball: Each led their respective squad to a good, solid win against Union.

Collin Groves, Heritage Hall, Basketball: Big revenge win for Chargers at Casady, leading the way with 12 points.

Ryan Shelley, Casady, Basketball: In loss to Heritage, Shelley led Cyclones with 14 points.

Dalton Newsome, Mt. St. Mary’s, Basketball: No tournament hangover for Rockets in a road win at Jones.

Took a look at the Edmond schools, now let’s do the same with the private schools and where they’re at heading down the stretch.

Bishop McGuinness

Tough to make a dent into Douglass, but the Irish are a solid bunch. Love the senior leadership of Jameel Whitney and Kevin Caruthers while sophomores Joe Edmonds and Matt Christiansen are going to be players to watch in the future for Tondrell Durham.

Chances of making state: High. The theory is everyone is playing for second, but if you can there, all it takes is one game.

The girls might overshadow the boys this year as Jennifer Frakes has a great team, led by senior Cara Pugh. Big wins against Star Spencer and Union in last two games say a lot about the club. So much depth, and it’s been needed with all the injuries team has suffered.

Chances of making state: High. 4A is crazy-good this year, but the Irish should be one of the eight teams making it.

Heritage Hall

Excited to see this team Monday against OCS. Coach Mike Walker said it’s a different look than what I’ve seen earlier this season. Collin Groves is a stud, and it sounds like everyone else is finding their role.

Chances of making state: Low-Medium. Two weeks ago would have said low but want to see how this new approach does with my own eyes.

The girls have been paced by D Brown and Murphy Burns. Like what I see in glimpses of Carter Cloud and BreAuna Gaddis but not sure if it is going to be enough in the long run.

Chances of making state: Low. Not in this loaded 4A group, would have had a better chance in 3A.

Casady

The early season was dominated by Ryan Shelley, but the Cyclones are receiving big-time contributions (and consistent ones) from Bentley Williams and Preston Sullivan that is bringing balance to Josh Bottomly’s club.

It’s an uphill battle for the girls team, a big learning experience. But from the times I’ve seen ‘em, they don’t quit and keep pluggin’ away.

Mt. St. Mary’s

Ah, the only team I haven’t seen in person that I still really want to see. Want to see the stars like Dalton Newsome and Vincent Mason and want to see how Lenny Hatchett runs his ship. Not sure when, but I’ll see the Rockets sometime soon.

Chances of making state: High. Sounds like a fun team to watch that should be making a run.

The girls team lost eight of nine during one stretch but has now won four of its last six to improve to 6-10. Coach Rory Hamilton has the team playing better.

Chances of making state: Low. Team is improving, but it’s a little too much to ask.

OCS

Writing a big story on the Saints boys for Monday’s paper. Believe in this team. Juniors T.J. Holland Jack Warren are great scorers while Jake Cranfield and David Coury are playing bigger roles. Most of all, believe in coach Trent Toler.

Chances of making state: Medium. Next couple of weeks will be crucial in trying to see what the future holds for the Saints.

The girls team with Jordan Gooch is formidable, but it’s been rough without Gooch. Dani Childress can score and Mackenize Barnes is a strong leader for Elizabeth Clower’s squad.

Chances of making state: Low. Going to be a tough, tough road to get there and just don’t see it happening.

With the teams given an unexpected break this weekend, thought it might be a good chance for a short synopsis of where the teams are right now. Let’s start with the Edmond quartet.

Santa Fe

The boys are so exciting to watch right now. Senior Mahlon Jones impresses me more and more with each viewing, and you can’t really say enough about junior Josh Richardson. A.J. Anderson has shown flashes and I believe Michael Onuoha is going to be a star in the making.

Chances of making state: High. This team has it all, and coach Shawn Schenk knows what to do in these situations.

Don’t know if there is a better backcourt in the state than Courtney Walker, Jimi Blagowsky and Daisha Gonzaque. The key is going to be the post play. Sophia Mahmoodjanloo is providing huge minutes off the bench while it will be interesting to see how sophomore Arielle Cooper builds off her crazy 3 to tie Memorial last week.

Chances of making state: High. Santa Fe has best combo of boys and girls basketball teams in the state.

Memorial

A scrappy bunch that play hard for coach Shane Cowherd. Obviously, Obi Emegano has dominated the headlines, but I’ve been impressed with Jared Jobe and James Woodard. Gave Santa Fe a good run for its money at Santa Fe.

Chances of making state: Medium. But they just got better with Memorial going out east.

The girls team needed that break after an emotional three-game skid to Norman North, Edmond North and Santa Fe. Good balance on this team with Alie Decker and Paige Locke inside to go with Madison Johnson, Brooklyn Bell and Bridgette Young on the perimeter.

Chances of making state: Medium. As long as there is no emotional hangover, believe what coach Shane Coffey believes about this team.

North

Jeff Tompkins’ kids have the goods but just can’t put it together yet. Love watching Daniel Emesiani fight for everything while Mike Menzal is solid with the ball. If the Huskies are making their 3s, look out.

Chances of making state: Low. So many talented teams that unless they go on another big run like last year, tough to see them punching a ticket.

Written a lot about junior Elizabeth Donohoe (and will continue to), but TaNita Dewberry is the X factor on this team. She’s becoming almost as dominant and putting up solid double-double numbers.

Chances of making state: High. Guard play will be key down the stretch and will determine just how far this team goes.

Deer Creek

One of the most fun teams (if not frustrating) to watch this season. Coach Matt Bailey has brought a new energy and with that nucleus of Garrett Hermanski, Hayden Wagner, Jurrell Calloway and Jalen Burnett, this is a solid bunch.

Chances of making state: Medium. For all the talent, been a lot of inconsistency. Get third shot at Western Heights on Tuesday for homecoming (I’ll be there).

Wrote a lot about the girls last week and nothing’s changed. Good mix of inside-outside, youth-experience, should make a deep run.

Chances of making state: High.

The feel-good story continues for Bishop McGuinness basketball manager Tyler Frederickson, ‘T-Fred.’

Following last week’s story, the Oklahoma City Thunder got in touch with McGuinness about general manager Sam Presti wanting to meet with TFred.

T-Fred braved the elements and went to the Thunder’s win against the Denver Nuggets on Friday and got to have his meeting with Presti.

Said T-Fred:

He was really nice to me, and I wasn’t nervous at all. He thanked me for being a Thunder supporter.”

It’s been a whirlwind for T-Fred lately, who said he could barely make it out of church with so many people wanting to talk to him. He also sent Kentucky freshman Daniel Orton a signed article.

T-Fred also got floor seats Friday night. And sometimes the most obvious things are funny: “Kevin Durant is really tall.”

Here ya go.

I was all set to head to OCS and Heritage Hall on Friday when Mother Nature intervened. However, I won’t have to wait long as the Saints and Chargers will meet Monday.

Looking forward to this one as Heritage is coming in on a big time roll. Coach Mike Walker and the boys struggled to find their identity early. Now they have it.

As for the Saints, upsetting No. 1-ranked and previously unbeaten Bethel was a heckuva way to start the week. Junior Jack Warren said that game was all about pride.

I’m doing a big piece on OCS for Monday’s paper, looking at their strange season so far.
