With Bedlam, Iowa and postseason looming, OSU coaches emphasizing perfection Daniel Allen Staff Reporter
Coleman Scott’s facial expression said it all. A mixture of emotions after No. 2 Oklahoma State’s 31-6 win over No. 12 South Dakota State made up the OSU associate head coach’s face. Then he spoke. “Needed a lot more attitude,” Scott said. “But you just can’t get yourself in a tough match (so often) like that.” For Scott, there was a lot of good for OSU (13-0, 7-0 Big 12) on Saturday night. Two pins and three sudden-victory wins for Cowboy wrestlers could make for a pleasant feeling in the locker room post-dual. But not from Scott, coach John Smith or any of the Cowboy coaching staff. An abundance of success calls for harsher judgement. More constructive criticism and less complacency. “I mean, the coaches are telling us in the locker room, it’s obviously good, to come out with those close matches as wins, but it doesn’t need to be that close,” said OSU 165-pounder Izzak Olejnik. “To speak for myself, I know I’ve been in matches where I’ve kept them close. It’s like, OK, well, this guy gets a takedown and you’re up three points. Go get the win. “Being able to extend those leads out and be able to build on them and really break free guys and matches... it’s good to get the wins but it’s also good to push for more.” Troy Spratley started the night with a 7-3 decision over 15th-ranked Tanner Jordan of South Dakota State (12-3, 6-1 Big 12) at 125, giving the OSU redshirt freshman his fifth consecutive match win over a ranked opponent. Two bouts later, Jordan Williams logged his first collegiate pin against 18th-ranked Alex Martin at 149. Williams, who was benched earlier in favor of Sammy Alvarez, has continued his consistency since his return to the mat two weeks prior. “It felt good,” Williams said. “It feels good to finally be back wrestling (and) competing.” At 165, the third-ranked Olejnik earned his first dual pin of his OSU career against Tanner Cook. During a scramble that took up most of the Period 1, Olejnik grasped Cook’s shoulders, placed him firmly on his back and got the fall call with three seconds remaining in the first period. “I’ve wrestled that guy three times before (when I was at Northern Illinois),” Olejnik said. “I know he’s a big move kind of guy and I felt like he was trying to push the pace. (I wanted to) make him a little tired and get my offense going and I knew he was gonna go

The Draw
Cowgirls are the dominant teams at OSU Gabriel Trevino Staff Reporter
Spring has just started, and OSU is seeing success behind two dominant women’s programs. Welcome to The Draw! A 5-0 start OSU softball began its season in Southern California this weekend, with wins against Cal State Northridge, Loyola Marymount, Utah State, UC Riverside and No. 10 UCLA. The Cowgirls won all five, four of which by run rule. Transfer catcher Caroline Wang shined with two home runs and a game winner vs Loyola Marymount. Leadoff hitter sophomore Tallen Edwards — who coach Kenny Gajewski called the team’s best player — reached base 12 times and hit five extra base hits. Rosie Davis, Claire Timm, Katie Lott and Megan Bloodworth all also performed well. This year’s Cowgirls team is one of the youngest OSU has had in some years, but the young talent may be ready to compete and make a run at the WCWS already. They’ll get more of test next weekend at the Clearwater Invitational with more games against ranked opponents. For the title No. 3 Cowgirls tennis will compete in the women’s ITA indoor championship after beating No. 10 Texas and No. 2 Stanford. They’ll face No. 4 Michigan, a team they beat last week in to open the season. It’s not an NCAA event, but the Cowgirls have cemented themselves as perhaps the best team in the country. The NCAA national championships will also be held in Stillwater later this year and could be a chance for OSU to raise banner No. 55 this year and the program’s first title. Bedlam, but why? Anyone who watched the first Bedlam men’s basketball game this year likely hopes they could get their time back unless they’re a fan of poorly played hoops. The Cowboys lost 66-62 in a close one, when it really shouldn’t have been. OSU shot 31% from the field and 17% from 3, while OU was much more efficient at 46% and 40% respectively. OSU continued its success drawing fouls and making free throws, but any other offense was hard to find. It’s just another loss OSU already couldn’t afford. The Cowboys only shot at this point for a postseason appearance is to win the Big 12 tournament. While the Big 12 gets to watch instant-classic college basketball games each weekend, OSU fans don’t get the same luxury. sports.ed@ocolly.com

news OSU Jazz . . . Continued from 1 The process for creating the album had students recording over four sessions, each lasting from eight to twelve hours, including an extensive setup, recording and teardown. The setup included an array of microphones as well as iPhones for video capture. “We usually had a recording session every year and would record three to four songs each session,” said orchestra member and music education major Aidan Evano. “Because of this, there are many different students over many different semesters on each album.” The OSU Jazz Orchestra released two albums prior to “Angular Tuesday,” receiving critical acclaim from JazzEd Magazine, JazzTimes Magazine, Outside in Music and a 4-star rating from Jack Bowers at All About Jazz. The OSU Jazz Orchestra is considered one of the top instrumental ensembles in the Greenwood School of Music. Since 2020, the orchestra has been ranked as one of the top five university jazz ensembles in the country. The group consists of five saxophones, four trumpets, four trombones, bass, piano, guitar and drums. Students who are accepted into the OSU Jazz Orchestra perform six to seven concerts per year, as well as regularly premiering arrangements and compositions specifically written for the group’s on- and off-campus concerts, videos and CD recordings. The ensemble’s achievements have also landed them invitations to perform at the 2020, 2023 and 2024 Jazz Education Network (JEN) Conference. As JEN invitations are based on blind peer-reviewed audio submissions, invitations such as these are highly competitive, Poole explained. Only four or five university jazz orchestras are accepted to each conference. “Angular Tuesday” is now available on Spotify, Apple Music and all other streaming platforms. Physical CDs can be purchased Feb. 23 at the ensemble’s 7:30 p.m. concert in the Seretean Center for the Performing Arts Concert Hall. Every track on the album also has a multi-video angle of the tracking session on YouTube. Follow the OSU Jazz Orchestra on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. For a behind-the-scenes conversation about the orchestra with Poole, Evano and saxophonist Kyle Fisher, listen to the March 2023 episode of the OSU College of Arts and Courtesy of OSU News Sciences’ podcast. “Angular Tuesday” is the third OSU Jazz Orchestra album Tommy Poole has directed.

They are now special people, a pure people, chosen to be a special group who were taken from spiritual darkness. They are God’s people! If you have come to Jesus, and received forgiveness of your sins; this is also your new condition. The Apostle Paul said it this way; “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (2 Co.5:17 NIV) We are the people of God and we have sto ry to tell. We can proclaim it clearly and sincerely to all. This happened to me in Japan, November, 1956. I heard the good news of Christ and things begin to change in my life. Jesus became real and began leading my life. It has been an adventure, learning to fellowship and walk with the Lord. I have made many mistakes, but the Lord keeps encouraging me to keep following Him. The God, who has started a good work in me and you (fellow believer) will finish it with eternal consequences. All through the ages to come we get to experience life with Christ. If you have not yet put your trust in Him and begin following him. I urge you to do It now. He is faithful to lead your life into the best (sometimes difficult) things and will glorify Himself and produce lasting blessings. It’s open to al!.
