Protect This House

A Line in the sand is drawn! Faces are painted, bandanas are tied and camouflage is donned! Signs are painted and hung, and t-shirts are made. Games are circled on calendars and special gadget plays are

drawn up. These are just a few of the things that go into the preparation for the biggest game of the year. The RIVALRY game is THAT game that

can essentially decide the success of the entire athletic season. Oh sure Norman High can win their district, but get beat by Norman North and ask head coach Greg Nation if there isn’t a bad taste in his mouth. I promise you we all KNOW what he will say.

Rivalries are often about tradition and turf. They can be about two teams that share a town or about who owns the bridge that separates two

towns. They can often times be fueled by off the field events, parents’

involvement, or which booster club has the most money. One thing is for sure however, they are ALWAYS settled on the field.

This issue of the magazine is dedicated to the RIVALRY game. You will read terms like WAR, CLASH, and MYAHEM. These are SERIOUS terms that describe a high school athletic contest. This is INTENSE talk for a

mere game. Well, all the hyperbole aside, I want to challenge you VYPE NATION to get out to your school’s rivalry game this season. VYPE will a RIVALRY. Share some history with us. Send us your student section photos! (mark.lockhart@vype.com) Let us in on the off-field battles the start of the 2010 high school football season!

Run Wild I thought your feature on the running backs last month was spot on. In my opinion we have the top running backs in the state and this is the year the West side dominates football. And yes we will bring home a gold ball in Class 6A! I called it here first. Thanks again for the running back story, maybe next month you’ll do something on the receivers we have!

Everyone in the state knows Millwood ain’t no joke. We’re here to stay and no one can stop this team. Give them the gold ball now! Trey W. Oklahoma City, OK

Running Backs Left Out I think you left out of couple of great running backs last month. Saul Pina from Clinton rushed for more than a 1,000-yards last year and scored 13 touchdowns. Devin Campbell from Bethany is an every down back that’s proven. He will break the all-time rushing record at Bethany this season. Just wanted to throw in my two cents.

Readers Survey I have my Readers Survey, but I wanted to include of few more comments that I think will help you make your publication better. I also have some story ideas. Can I send you all the information at once? Last question, what’s in the prize pack? Jill T. Mustang, OK Editor’s Note: (Thanks Jill. YES, send in everything you have. We love getting feedback from the readers. As for the prize pack, basically we’re putting that together, but it will include some gear from our events and some items we’re getting from advertisers.)

I noticed you do product reviews and I was wondering how I can get my instructional DVD’s reviewed. I’ve coached girls softball in Texas for 30 years and recently moved to Oklahoma. I’ve noticed the softball is played at a high level in Oklahoma and wanted an opportunity for my instructional DVD’s to be seen. Your magazine would be a great place to start. Thanks for considering me. Larry K. Piedmont, OK

Football Preview I recently purchased a copy of the football preview and was extremely disappointed with the coverage of the teams. Then I realized I was not reading a VYPE magazine, but one from a group I’ve never heard of. So I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a copy of the VYPE preview. Wow, no comparison. It’s obvious who puts in the work! Thanks VYPE!

Ron’s Hamburgers & Chili – Tulsa, OK

Eischen’s Chicken – Okarche, OK

Eischens!!! Enough said. One of VYPE’s favorite places. Officially introduced by Pioneer’s Kim Grellner. Whether you are going to see a Kingfisher, Watonga, or Hennessey game, if the opportunity presents itself, it is sac-religious not to indulge. Order the okra and a couple of whole chickens and you will be set. 405-263-9939

Flamingo Louge – Enid, Oklahoma

A VYPE favorite when traveling through Plainsmen Country, Flamingo’s and their homemade chili will leave you stuffed. Enjoy some of the best and tastiest burgers and don’t forget to try the chili cheese nachos before going to see Coach Tommy Parker’s crew take care of business. Also don’t forget the old-school arcade in the back. Mark Lockhart’s favorite. 580-234-9006

Mahylon’s BBQ – Muskogee, OK

Every Rougher knows about Mahylon’s. Don’t bother with the menu, the list of food items, great specials, and awesome sides are painted on the wall. Just look up, point it out, and you are good to go. The VYPE Special includes a hotlink with onion rings as an appetizer, from there, you can go any direction. But the ribs are to die for. If you are stumped, ask Vickie or Kenny to help you out. 918-686-RIBS (7427)

Cattlemen’s Steakhouse – OK City, OK

Eskimo Joe’s – Stillwater, OK

The Bruins have a special place. Murphy’s is known for its hot brown. Or you can order a hamburger covered with fries and brown gravy. Bill Huddleston’s favorite is the hit brown topped off with a piece of homemade pie. “Murphy’s, Now that’s what I am talking about!” says Huddleston. 918-336-4789

Johnnie’s Grill – El Reno Oklahoma

The Indians have a claim to fame at Johnnie’s. The best grilled onion burger in the state. Even if you are taking I-40 out to see Clinton or Weatherford, save thirty minutes to stop in to Johnnie’s and go to town. VYPE’s choice is to take a few burgers to go, because they are just as good refrigerated and nuked as they are off the grill. 405-262-4721

Pollyanna Cafe – Woodward, OK

The Williams Family has been taking care of people in Woodward for over 50 years. If you are in town to see the Boomers or you are passing through to the panhandle, it is a must to stop in and have some chicken tenders and mashed potatoes or any one of their thick 1/3-lbs. burgers with onion rings. 580-256-9037

One of the Tulsa-area’s musts. If you are out watching the Chieftains on a Friday, or heading anywhere west of Tulsa, Freddie’s will get you taken care of. With hors d’oeuvres of cabbage rolls, tabouli, sausage and ribs, anything after that might be an after thought. 918-224-4301

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

Minuteman Pizza – Sand Springs, OK: A Sandites tradition before and after games. Folger’s Drive-In – Ada, OK: A burger basket any way you want it. Jim and Jerry will get you taken care of. Pete’s Italian Restaurant – Krebs, OK (East of MacAlester): Family style Italian with a family atmosphere. Van’s Pig Stand – Shawnee, OK: Serving world famous BBQ since the 1930’s. Anything on a pig is to die for. Head Country – Ponca City, OK: Since 1947. VYPE’s #1 rib place. They make their own sauce and you see it on shelves everywhere. Bunny’s Onion Burger – Oklahoma City, OK: One of the best in the state. For 20 years, they have been serving it right. Stables Cafe – Guthrie, OK: Famous for their ribs. A Blue Jay favorite.

Honorable Mention

SEPTEMBER 2010

Freddie’s Steak House – Sapulpa, OK

Not just for Cowboy game days, Eskimo Joe’s is for Stillwater High and Perkins-Tryon game days as well. If you are headed out to Enid from Tulsa, or up to Ponca City from Oklahoma City, take the trip (Yes Sooner fans, you are welcomed too). Nobody messes with the best cheese fries in the world. Burgers are key but the BLT and ribeye sandwich will knock your socks off. 405-372-8896

Murphy’s Restaurant – Bartlesville, OK

VYPE.COM

If it is good enough for Man Vs. Food, it is good enough for all VYPE fans. A delicatessen for decades, Cattlemen’s has more history than the state itself. Whether it is Gene Wade’s famous dice roll of 1945 to own the restaurant, or modern day TV appearances on the Food network, the steakhouse is oozing with tradition. 405-236-0416

You can’t go wrong with Ron’s. Though the original has been long gone from the boxcar 15th and Harvard location, you can still find more than 20 locations across Oklahoma. Whether you are in Jenks, Tulsa, Glenpool, Edmond, OKC, or Owasso, Ron’s will delight.

WESTMOORE BILLY LANGFORD Vype: You take over the head coaching position at a school where the former head coach, Mike Whaley had a great influence on you. Langford: Oh no doubt. Coach Whaley was my head coach when I played at Blanchard. He’s been a huge influence on me, I played quarterback at Blanchard and he was the quarterback coach. Coach Ty Prestige at Mustang has also played a big role in getting me to this level too.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

SEPTEMBER 2010

VYPE.COM

Vype: You were head coach at Blanchard for five years before becoming an assistant at Mustang for the last four years. What has been the biggest adjustment moving from Class 3A up to the state’s largest class?

Langford: The biggest difference is the number of people you have to manage. At Blanchard it was me and four assistants and now it’s me and eight assistants. More media requests too! (laughs).

Vype: So you come from Mustang where they were known for their wide-open passing attack. Westmoore until last year had always been known for their rugged, smash-mouth running game. Where do you see the Jaguar offensive attack for 2010? Langford: Somewhere in the middle. I feel like I helped get the spread run-game to a new level at Mustang,

so we’ll run a no huddle quick snap offense. It won’t be the check-with-me offense some other teams run. We’re going to get to the line of scrimmage and go. Not let the defense get set and make adjustments. We want the defense to be scrambling and have to make adjustments to what we’re doing.

Vype: You were able to work with your guys in the spring and summer so what do you feel will be the strengths of the Jaguars in 2010?

Langford: Defense. We feel like we have a good front seven with guys like Kyle Factor, Cody Cates and Bryan Norris among others and while our secondary is going to be young, we like the guys we have back there.

Vype: Let’s talk about the Moore War. Very first game as head coach is Moore War. What are your thoughts about that game?

Langford: The kids are always talking about Moore War. Obviously, a big game right out of the chute and with Southmoore the following week you know you’ve got two tough battle to get you ready for district play. While those two games are important to this school and this community we don’t want to hang our whole season on those two games. Either way our expectations are to go out and win those two football games.

Vype: Thanks coach and good luck.

disappointed, but I don’t regret my decision at all. I have enjoyed a wonderful career at Tennessee.” Jones had an instant impact

for the Volunteers by playing as a true freshman and

accounting for three TDs

and over 200 yards. Perhaps the most memorable of the

scores was an overtime catch against Kentucky. Jones also rushed for 39 yards in the SEC Championship game. Jones accounted for

over 800 total yards as a

Jones asserted himself as the

“I have gotten more comfortable and I am healthy going into

Perhaps one of the challenges Jones has had is the turnover in

his senior year under a new coaching staff led by Derek Dooley. “It has been interesting, but it doesn’t matter who the coach is.

THE OFFICIAL By Cory Schoonover

WORD

Q A

I wanted to email in and ask you about holding calls in football. I’m confused on exactly what constitutes holding. So offensive linemen can grab the jersey as long as they are inside on the chest, but they can not grab outside on the shoulders, is that right? This is one of those calls that could be flagged on every play in my opinion. Yes, holding can be called on almost every play, however holding is one of the most difficult penalties for an official to master. In my opinion holding should always be called based on the severity, and the kind of affect it has on the play. For example, if a sweep is going left and the right tackle is holding the defensive end, who is obviously out of the play, that may not be a good time to call holding. Here are some factors that officials look at when calling holding. One thing to always remember is holding should be called at the point of attack. Here are some things to consider.

• Did the blocker gain an unfair advantage from the hold? • Did the defender have his jersey stretched or have to reach for the ball carrier with one arm? • Was the disengagement between the holder and the person who was being held legal? • Was he taken in a direction by the hold to an undesired location? • Did the defender give up on his pursuit by having a step taken away from him as the result of a hold?

Q A

I’ve yet to find anyone that can answer this question so I thought I would give you a chance. In fast pitch softball why don’t the umpires call the pitches for illegal pitches when their feet get outside the circle? This is never called and they let these pitchers get away with it all the time. Hope you can shed some light on the subject. I have never heard this question. The pitching circle, is used for the “lookback” rule, primarily with that said, I have found nothing in the rulebook, stating getting out of the circle is an illegal pitch. As for why it is not called, it would not be a primary focus by umpires, so they probably wouldn’t see it. The plate umpire is looking at the delivery and pitch, the field umpire is looking for a check swing and runners, so they just don’t see what happens on the follow through. I know this doesn’t answer your question, but might shed a little light as to why it isn’t called.

Joining Thompson in the backfield is running back Andrew Long A 1,500 yard rusher last season, Long hit pay dirt a total of 11 times last season. Both will benefit by a strong trio of lineman. Lucas Stalnaker, Tylor Whitfield, JP Hendrick. Sophomores Spencer Martin, Cody Earp and Nick Ward could step up to fill the void at wide receiver. Jackson Stallings will be looked upon to fill the void at tight end. Leading the way on defense will be outside linebacker D’Vante Henry. He’ll be joined by Kaleb Thompson while Jackson Stallings may see time as well at one of the linebacker spots. Both will be key player makers defensively for the Sabercats. In the secondary Austin Brooks will be the leader of the defensive backfield. Tre Edwards is another young player that could see time defensively within the secondary.

Quarterback Vova Razryvin returns to the Lions this season. Last year as a junior, Razryvin produced over 1,250 yards. Joe Haddox, Ryan Cain, Corey Reeves, Brandon Eddins and Grant Linstead will bring great depth to the receiving corps. Reeves shows big play promise at and could also see time at quarterback. Linstead was called the best wide receiver by coach Scott Myers after being injured as a sophomore. Up front along the offensive line is Van Gray at tackle, whom coach Myers called the most dominating down guy for Moore along with center Dakota Gilbert. The defense will be led by linebacker David Cowan and he’ll be joined in the linebacker corps by Taylor Lewis and Joey Kard. On the defensive front Ryan Cain will be a force yet again off the edge for the Lions along with Caleb Diggs Ethan Birdwell, and Juan Gonzalez.

It all starts upfront for the Jaguars with Tackle Tyler Newton and Guard Justin Smith. They will be joined by John Jacob Finn. They will be leading the way for running back Cody Feuerborn, a great combination of speed and toughness. The quarterback position looks like it will come down to senior Lionard Fombe and last years starter junior Trevor Thompson .Whoever is the signal caller, will have the benefit of a good receiving duo in Corey Pompey and Dalton Craig. Senior leadership at linebacker is the first thing that stands out when looking at the 2010 version of the Jaguars. Cody Cates has a great nose for the ball and is joined by Bo Hurst and Bryan Norris. Those three seniors will be joined by Josh Morgan. Along the defensive line will be the hard nosed Kyle Factor and the athletic Jake Woods.

Things will get started with the play of Cameron Doolittle at quarterback. Last season Doolittle passed for just over 600 yards along with six touchdowns and over 1,000 yards rushing. At running back the Bulldogs will go with the two-headed monster of Cale Olbert and Gavin Fouts. Olbert rushed for over 600 yards last season while hitting pay dirt six times. The offensive line will be strong, led by the play of Jacob Wright and Lucas Tipton. Battling at the offensive tackle are Zach Garlitz and Nate Riney, which will likely continue during the preseason but will only improve both players. The Bulldogs will depend upon defensive tackle Connor Myers to lead the way up front with Jared Chambers. Ry Huff and Matt Hickman have asserted themselves as the men in the middles of the defense. In the secondary Jeff Balkenbush, Cameron Riney and Hunter Dawson will lead the way. Kicking duties will be enhanced by Will Conant.

Jared Benway (5-10, 186, Jr.) will take over the running back duties this season after averaging four yards per carry in limited playing time in 2009.

He’ll be joined by Ryan Hammons at times but look for Benway to see the rock many times a game. Look for Donquay Hammons to take an increased role in the receiving corps.

Kelly Gregg played for North in ’93 and ’04, but started as a sophomore for Memorial in ’92. Gregg was a three-time state champion wrestler. During his time on the football field Gregg was a two-time All-State selection. Gregg played at OU and has been an NFL veteran for 13 years now. Marcus Nash was one of Memorial’s best

Offensively the Wolves possess plenty of athleticism at the skill positions which coach Bruce Gowen believes can make the difference between going to the playoffs and staying home. Two of the athletes that will help in Edlam are Patrick Hinton and Tre’ Kelley. Gowen will also count upon Phillip Sumpter at running back. Moving the pile will be Josh Crouch and Steven Mize. Going headto-head for the signal caller slot are Ty Hensley and Paul Bronson. The linebacker corps wreaking havoc in Edlam will be headlined by Brady Bell, Conner Bays and Ryan Frazier. At free safety Brandon Reece brings great size and length to the defensive backfield. Sumpter, Trevan Smith, David Barker and Zach Birts will handle the defensive backfield duties. Coach Gowen expects defensive end Able Baker to make a difference off the edge. Punting duties will be up for grabs after the graduation of Matt Leavell, which will be important to fill as field position makes a difference. This year’s Edlam game with Memorial will test the Wolves as Memorial has re-established itself as a playoff contender.

Look for move-in Emilio Gatewood to see playing time at running back as well. Daniel Davis is an exceptional athlete that will see time at tight end and halfback. On the offensive line Caleb Cline will be opening holes for the playmakers. Jack Davis is a youngster that could see playing time along the line for the Timberwolves. The biggest position battle will be at wide receiver, but look for Sophomore DJ Hicks to make an impact. Coach expects his team “to play unselfish, with no sense of entitlement while playing sound football.” In the role of ironman for the Timberwolves will be two way starter Daniel Davis. He’ll be joined along the line by nose guard Derek Morton. They’ll look to take on blocks to try and free up the linebacker corps led by Daniel Moses and Zac Pierce. D.J.

The plane crashed into a field not far from the air base. A few years later, the school district decided to build Midwest City’s football stadium there. To this day, the Ghost of Rose Field haunts the stadium at night and is said to be one of the many reasons Jim Darnell Stadium is one of the hardest places to play in the state of Oklahoma. The Midwest City was named as the first undefeated 6A football national champion. At Midwest City High, it’s often stated:

“Winning, it’s not pressure, it’s a way of life”. Some call it tradition and some call it spirit, but the Midwest City community calls it “Bomber Magic”. Every year, Midwest City plays Del City in the Sooner Road rivalry during “Beat Del City Week.” Although Del City won the first meeting between these football powers, Midwest City has largely dominated the series since its inception in the 1950s. Early in 2009, the Midwest City-Del City School Board held a bond to detail and build a new turf field for Midwest City High School. The bond issue passed with a 79% approval rating. The field will be open for the 2010 football season.

Also watch for Derrick Garvin (6-3, 185, Jr.) to benefit from the wide-open spread offense from his wide receiver spot. With Bronson Irwin moving on to play for the Sooners, the offensive line becomes a concern, but Coach

Ty Prestidge feels returning starters, center Elliott Malanca and left guard Caleb Schumpert will help bring together Bronco attack on the front line. The Broncos return five starters from last year’s squad and will rely on a couple of three year starters, Glidden and Jon Luckey to lead by example.

One of those players that need just a little

After a 4-7 record last season the Eagles will look to turn things around. The battle at quarterback will be one to watch with Adrian McDonald and Ivan Rosas. In the backfield the Eagles will count upon Senior Louis Durant. Durant rushed for nearly 700 yards last season along with eight touchdowns while averaging six yards a reception. Also in the backfield will be Nathan Locke who averaged 6.21 yards per carry in limited playing time. Adrian Woodard will be a big threat at wide receiver. His big play threat will be more important this season as the Eagles look to increase their offensive prowess. A depleted secondary will leave multiple players battling for playing time. The linebacker corps returns Dillon Pulliam who averaged 12.4 tackles and recorded five sacks last season. Jordan Bridges was able to tally 5.4 tackles per game from his linebacker spot and looks to increase his production. Look for continued great production of John Hambrick. Last season Hambrick averaged six tackles a game and got to the quarterback three times last season.

The Wolverines will once again be led under center by Cody Miller (6-5, 195, Sr.) who last season completed nearly 55% of his passes while throwing 19 touchdowns. Miller will have the pleasure of throwing passes to Tyrequek Zimmerman, Deaquan Wojciechowski, and Jeremy Perry. Zimmerman brings the height to the group and gives Miller a big target.

Coach Breeze and the team as a whole have great expectations for this year and the players are focused. Zimmerman and Wojciechowski will go both ways this season as they spend time in the defensive backfield for the Wolverines. At another DB position will be safety Brent Bowles who doesn’t shy away from contact and is in on many plays. The linebacking corps will be led by the duo of Jabral Johnson and Carter Grigg.

Taylor Hawkins and Dillan Dansby will compete to take over the reigns at QB. Easing some of that pressure off the quarterback in 2010 will be an experienced offensive line and running back Kenton Whittington. Whittington dazzled at times last year and will be running behind Kyle Croak, Anthony Frazier, and Colin Walker. Also look for Rayshawn Cato and Steven Dunham to contribute on the O-line and tight end Austen Roselius.

Speed is the key for the linebackers as Kevin Jones and Jeremiah Reed will be tracking opposing running backs all season long. Another strong suit for Rose’s defense is the secondary where University of Tulsa verbal commit Dwight Dobbins will lead the corps of players. Alex Polston returns and Justin Love, Darrian Winston and A.J. Wilson will help round out a talented but young secondary.

The Bluejays will rely upon Kentrell Brothers an athletic phenom that will force opponents to focus on him giving his teammates opportunities. Quarterback Bryan Dutton returns after throwing 26 touchdowns as a freshman last season. Protecting the left side of the line is Blake Belcher who has tremendous potential. A player to watch is Richard Brothers, Kentrell’s younger brother who offers the same great athleticism. Last season the Bluejays made a run to the semi-finals with a young team and may be ready to take the next step. Linebacker Landry Chappell returns after finishing second in the state in tackles. Younger players that could surprise are Vincent Norris, J.T. McFadden and Luke Davis. Kentrell Brothers will also play defensive end bringing his athleticism to the edge where coach Watkins considers him to be the “best sack man in the state.” Defensive tackle will be manned by Felix Scott and Cody Doyle.

Bogert said, “We played a lot of sophomore’s last year and feel like many of those guys should be ready to provide valuable leadership.”

CASADY CYCLONES HEAD COACH: KOBY SCOVILLE 2009 RECORD: 7-3 O-FORMATION: MULTIPLE D-FORMATION: 3-5

:: SEPTEMBER 2010

The Cyclones lose 13 seniors off of last year’s squad, but they are fortunate to have some experienced talent returning. At quarterback, Mac Katigan will be leading the offense. When he is airing it out, he will be looking for junior Conner McMurrand, the lone returning starter at wide receiver. There will be a battle at running back, but keep your eye on junior Garrison Lee. Look for junior Ronnell Johnson to get into

the running back mix along with sophomore Michael Perry. Conner Morrison will be anchoring the line from his center position. He is the lone returning starter on the line, but he will be starting for his third season. The defensive line will be lead by college prospect Graham Bennett. The linebacker crew looks strong with Garrison Lee headlining the highly rated group. Sophomore Nick Jeffreys who started last year looks to step in and help out along with Adam Amil. Mac Katigan will be counted on to help out in the secondary in addition to his quarterback duties.

Bob Fenimore was the first football coach of Casady from 1950-1953. John Shelley was perhaps one of the best players out of Casady. Shelley went to OU and was an AllConference selection in 1971. Graham Colton quarterbacked the Chargers to

the Class 2A state title in 1998. Wes Welker was Graham’s favorite receiver. As a junior, Wes had 200 all-purpose yards, a 47-yard field goal, and an interception in the state title game. Welker also compiled 80 TDs, 190 tackles, 22 INTs, and nine fumble recoveries in his Charger career.

Polo Bowl News and Notes Named the “Polo Bowl”, the two north OKC schools hook up every year. The two schools are literally 1.5 miles apart. Casady defeated Heritage Hall last year and finished the 2009 season with a 7-3, the best in many years.

Taking over the quarterback responsibilities is Shon Bridges. Chris Compton is another option at quarterback, but he may fit better in the offense at wide receiver. The running backs are strong with Alliston Cobb returning for his final season at Douglass after for 711 yards and six touchdowns last year. Ian Robinson is another experienced back that rushed for 290 yards and three touchdowns in 2009. Darion White and Elijah Williams bring experience back to the offensive line. Eric King gets things fired up at linebacker. Opposite King was DeVante McKinney who recorded 15 sacks and 118 tackles. Marcus Caddell had three picks and 62 tackles last year. Defensive tackle Cayman Bundage had three sacks last season and is almost guaranteed to increase those numbers in 2010. Senior Ravi Riley may go both ways on the offensive line and at defensive end. The defense is quick, nasty and plays with attitude. Look for this group to continue the winning ways and have the Trojans competing for another state title.

The Falcons will once again look to quarterback Kevonte Richardson. Last Richardson is a Division-I prospect that will be counted upon to bring great leadership to the offense. Look for Allen Starks along with sophomores Diontay Washington and Tyjuan Turner to see time at running back. Richardson will look to a strong receiver corps of Josh Turner, Shevin Patton, Brandon Swindall and Michael Cole. The defensive secondary will be the strong suit of the Millwood defense led by Josh Turner. Turner, a Texas Longhorns commit, tallied 83 tackles last season along with two sacks and six interceptions. He’ll be joined in the defensive backfield by D-1 prospects Michael Cole, Brandon Swindall, and Shevin Patton. Senior Larry Seals returns at linebacker, after leading the team in tackles with 184 while adding six sacks. He’ll be joined at linebacker by Allen Starks and Diontay Washington. Division-I prospect Davion Pierson will anchor the defensive line from the tackle spot. At defensive end Clifford Lawrence (6-2, 187, Sr.) will look to be a force off the edge.

Head coach Tim Wade had the girls prepared for the long hot days, but it was the hitting of Kierra Miles and Shelbi Legg that fueled the team and rallied them in the biggest win of the tournament as they defeated Catoosa, 21-1. The win sparked the team and they went on to dominate their next two opponents.

he Lady Broncos made a statement during the Broken Arrow softball tournament in August. Despite dropping their first game against Tahlequah Sequoyah, 4-3 then going down to Claremore Sequoyah, 1-0 the Lady Broncos charged back to win four games in a row and bring home third place out of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;blackâ&#x20AC;? bracket. They did this despite graduating the Gatorade Oklahoma Softball Player of the Year in Ashley Paxton.

Shelbie Legg

Senior second baseman Courtni Clark and sophomore catcher Stormi Miller made excellent defensive plays to hold runners during their game against Bixby. Third baseman Laci Joyner and shortstop Kyndra Holasek could be the best tandem of infielders in the state. Joyner and Holasek were backed up by Tori Shockley and Jamie Rateliff in the outfield as the Lady Broncos won, 6-2 over the Lady Spartans. In the third place game against the Lady Rams of Owasso Shelby Dill, Kayla Adams, Kodi Jones, Katelyn Fischer and Caitlyn Clark helped the Lady Broncos to a 4-1 win. Miles, Joyner and Legg had big roles in the win as well.

After the tournament the Lady Broncos hosted and beat Yukon, 5-1. Yukon made it to the finals of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;blackâ&#x20AC;? bracket, but never faced Mustang during the tournament. Coach Wade and assistant coach Jerry Long and the Lady Broncos have a long season ahead of them. Road games against Midwest City, Carl Albert and the Putnam City Tournament in mid-September will help determine how far this team is capable of going in the regional and state tournaments. The state tournament is set for October 14-16th at Hall of Fame Stadium.

ome children follow in their parent’s footsteps in athletics or the family business, but it marks a unique and caring one that takes part in his father’s passion for a cause. A series of events led Joe Wilhite to start 1002miles. com. Due to a stress fracture in his foot, he began riding a bike for exercise versus running. As the marketing director for the Men of Oklahoma calendar, which raises money for the Susan G. Komen foundation, he decided to combine his bike riding and fund raising into project with hopes of collecting $10 a mile for his 1,002 miles ridden so that he can present a check for $10,000 on the night of the kickoff party for the calendar.

This brings us to Joe’s son, eleven-year-old Jackson. Wanting to assist his dad in some way in this cause, it was decided he probably couldn’t ride 1,002 miles, but could do 102 miles. With that, the 102 Mile For the Cure Club took off. Along with some friends, Jackson began canvassing the neighborhood asking for donations for his cause. So far he has been very successful, raising nearly $1,000.

With the success he has seen up to this point, Jackson has the ultimate goal of going nationwide with this project so that kids all across the country can be involved. Like his father, he is keeping a log of all the miles he rides as well as the donations he takes in. When Jackson isn’t riding his bike around his Norman neighborhood, he is a typical fifth grader at Truman Elementary School and is an aspiring soccer player.

To learn more, go to 1002miles.com. There you can read Joe’s blog and find out more about the cause and what got Joe so passionate in finding a cure. More importantly you can pre-order the Men of Oklahoma 2011 calendar as well as order “Kick Cancers Nuts” peanuts, with proceeds going towards cancer research.

Hot Careers with Quick Turnaround at Rose State College

ONE

of the quickest ways to turn around a sagging income or get a new lease on a career is to get an associate’s degree at a community college like Rose State College. Living the good life for many may require at least four years or more at a large, named university for many occupations. Two-year degrees at a community college have always offered a great value and a head-start to a four-year college degree at a university.

However, some degrees open the door to a lucrative career after only two years. Degrees in healthrelated occupations, like nursing, radiology, respiratory therapy, dental hygiene; or businessoriented degrees, such as paralegal, webmaster or cyber security can land one an occupation that are the envy of many with four-year or more degrees. Careers such as these offer the possibility of a lucrative income in a short amount of time, and at a state community college like Rose, at a very reasonable cost.

• Registered nurse. This well-known profession is in high demand and growing. According to a recent report by the Oklahoma Nursing Board, the state is expected to need 3,000 more nurses by 2015. Pay is good at more than $50,000 a year.

No matter what path one may choose, however, the first step is enrolling. For more information visit Rose State College’s Student Services or call (405) 733-7372.

Another occupation that has good pay and a quick turnaround is legal assistant, or “Paralegal”. Paralegals do many tasks that attorneys do, freeing the attorneys for work that requires a law degree. Two-year graduates of Rose State’s program can make as much as $30,000 starting.

If computer security doesn’t sound appealing, there

• Respiratory therapist. These professionals administer care to those with heart or lung ailments, often requiring the use of a ventilator. The median pay for this occupation is listed at more than $50,000 a year.

SEPTEMBER 2010

Dewey said graduates of Rose State’s program often land jobs at the Pentagon, the FBI or private security businesses for around $50,000 a year starting pay.

• Dental Hygienist. This profession works side-by-side with dentists, examining patients’ gums, perform cleanings, and take X-rays. Income is listed at more than $60,000, according to the article.

“There is a very high demand for this occupation and it doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down anytime soon,” Dewey said.

• Radiologic Technologist, or Radiographer. A radiographer uses electronic imaging (X-Rays) to produce diagnostic pictures of patients for doctors. The projected median income for this profession is more than $50,000 a year.

At Rose State College, Ken Dewy heads the only cyber security educational program in the country at a community college that is certified at all six levels of government training. Dewey said his program is being partially funded by the National Science Foundation so that students demonstrating financial need can take classes free.
