In complete control of his pitches, Scotty Gibson has been a key to the Wister Wildcats advancing to the Class 2A State Baseball Tournament.
As his team posted a 22-5 mark and Top-10 ranking, the 6-3-sophomore right-hander owns a 6-1 record heading into the state tournament. In 50 innings of work this spring, Gibson has allowed just 24 hits and 11 earned runs while notching 81 strikeouts of opposing hitters. “Gibby”, who has played baseball since age four, opened the postseason by tossing a perfect game win over Pocola and then tossed a 3-0 shutout over Panama, including 15 strikeouts, to give Wister another trip to the Class 2A state tournament.
“When Scotty takes the mound, our players believe that we’re going to win,” notes Wister coach John McAlester. “His talent and competitive spirit makes him successful. He brings his best to the ball park everyday.”

Brooke Gohring - Fort Gibson High School When Brooke Gohring entered her eighth grade class in FFA, the now senior at Fort Gibson High School had no idea about the life-changing experiences she was about to begin. And, now as she graduates this spring, Gohring’s life has been forever changed as well as the hundreds of others that she has helped along the way.
recalled Osborn. “She promised to learn all about raising her own animals so much that she’s raised her livestock to championship levels and treats them like a member of her family.”
During Gohring’s five years in the Fort Gibson FFA program, she has won Grand or Reserve Grand Chester White Breed Champion. Last spring, Gohring won Grand Champion Chester White honors at the Oklahoma Youth Expo along with a scholarship, an honor described by Osborn as a state champion effort.
“I’d heard some of the older kids talk about the fun they’d had in FFA, so I thought I’d try it out,” recalled Gohring moments after Brooke Gohring receiving her State FFA Degree “She loves animals and has a spongewhile attending this year’s like desire to learn something Oklahoma FFA convention in everyday that will improve her abilities to be successful in Oklahoma City. “I had no idea how much FFA would be in FFA,” said Osborn.” molding me into the person I am today.” “Brooke is more concerned about tomorrow’s results And, according to FFA advisors Bryan Craig and Joe than she is about winning trophies and awards,” Craig Osborn, she has gone from a city girl to an agricultural said in admiration of Gohring’s attention to the little All-American. details necessary to be successful. “When she stepped into the classroom, Brooke had never The culmination of five years of dedication to the FFA even owned a pair of boots,” chuckled Craig, “but it didn’t program, Gohring has done the hard work necessary to take long for Joe and I to realize this young lady was going earn the State FFA degree, an award only presented to to become somebody special.” the state’s top FFA students. And, following graduation, she plans to go to enter the nursing program at Connors According to Osborn, Gohring’s prior knowledge of State College before earning her eventual degree at OSUagriculture was as new as trying to speak a foreign Tulsa, completing the road from a Blue Coat to White Coat language. experience. “She was definitely not a farm girl,” said Osborn, “she lived in a sub-division right around the corner from the school. Upon completing her senior year as chapter president, Gohring admits the past five years have flown by in a Yet, from day one she let you know she wanted to learn heartbeat. And, she wants everyone to know that FFA is everything there was to know about agriculture through much more than just a farming experience. FFA.” Among the list of achievements, Gohring has taken leadership responsibilities with Fort Gibson FFA’s community garden as well as being a member of the Quiz Bowl team, another state championship winning team at the school.
But, when asked about the favorite part of FFA, Gohring’s love for animals was apparent; something Osborn noticed from the very first day. “Brooke begged me and her parents for a show pig,”
“It’s so much more,” notes Gohring recalling her many activities and opportunities including skeet shooting, speech contests and leadership camps. “There’s something for everyone even if you’re a city girl like me. The end result is you gain social skills and friendships that will last a lifetime.”
And, for those who know her, there’s no doubt the phrase “I Believe” can be defined in two words…Brooke Gohring.

STUNT – Oklahoma’s New Sport Championship in the semi-finals with a 1510 fourth quarter win over Tuttle, Broken Arrow advanced to the championship finals against Jenks, who in winning the tournament title went undefeated against the field including a second-half rally for a 14-8 decision against the Lady Tigers in the day’s final match.
Other teams competing included Bridge Creek, Coweta, Enid and Mount St. Mary. Springtime athletics in Oklahoma include competition in a variety of sports; however, without question no other championship has more energy and emotion than the competition at the Oklahoma Stunt State Championships that were held at Oklahoma Baptist University as teams from across the state battled through double-elimination competition before the Jenks Trojans claimed the title.
Stunt is not a “traditional” cheer event where squads perform one at a time. Stunt is head-tohead matches with two teams on the same stage simultaneously performing the same routine in game-like conditions. Stunt competitions include precise compulsory routines, pyramids, jumps and tumbling during the first three quarters and then teams put forward their best of each in the final quarter to determine the winner. “The atmosphere of competition is intense,” said Vickie Elliott, cheer coach at Tahlequah whose Tigers finished in fifth place. “All of the teams that competed were on their game. You could tell that every squad had trained hard for these games.”

“Our girls love it,” said Bixby coach Sharla Burgess, who has helped to coordinate the stunt competition the last three years. “There are several opportunities to score points and it feels like a real game, unlike traditional cheerleading competitions.” Following a heart-stopping battle
“It’s a great opportunity for the kids that are great athletes to have added avenues at the next level,” said Elliott.
Oklahoma City was host for this year’s National Stunt Championships where Oklahoma State University won it’s second Division I title with a 14-12 win over Delaware for the crown while Oklahoma City University captured a silver medal finish dropping a high-spirited match to Davenport University in the Division II finals.
KELSI EDGELL - Tahlequah High School With a heart for helping others, Edgell earned a staff member status and will serve as UCA camp instructor. With her never-ending high energy and constant smile, Edgell is currently teaching younger children how to develop cheerleading skills working at Cheer It Up. She has also been manager for the Tigers’ baseball team for two seasons.
A senior at Tahlequah High School, Kelsi Edgell is a proven model of excellence. As co-captain of the 201415 Tigers’ varsity cheer squad, Edgell also expanded her cheer experiences competing as a member of the varsity STUNT team the past three years that includes this spring’s STUNT state championships.

Tahlequah Tigers Tee It Up With Championship Results
After 18 seasons as coach of the golf team at Tahlequah High School, Nick Baker’s squad captured the Class 5A state crown last year. With four returning players returning, the Tigers remain atop the leaderboard this spring having won six of seven tournaments including a team best score of 296 at the Class 5A State Preview played on the Shawnee Country Club course, site of the 2015 championships. “The returning experience helps us grind through any situation,” notes Baker. “We’ve shot better scores this spring including winning the conference title for the first time in my 19 seasons.”

Blake Berry, Hunter Pennington, Blake Cochran and Brandt Emerson welcomed freshman Jax Johnson, younger brother to Jake Johnson, last year’s 5A champion to the lineup to continue the winning results. “They’re good golfers, their scores prove that,” said Baker, “but I believe what makes this team so solid is they never talk about whose number one as they’re more concerned on the team results not individual accolades. “They’re good friends off the course that are confident in each other’s skills. This group expects to win every time they tee it up.”

Prior to the state championships, VYPE posed questions to the Tigers golf team to discover their keys to success.
VYPE: What is your “money club” in your golf bag? Berry – Sand wedge because I can chip in any time I have it my hands Pennington – Sand wedge because I have a variety of options when I swing it
Johnson – My 56-degree, it’s my rescue club when I’m not hitting my irons
Cochran – My 7-iron is my go-to club, I hit it solid every time.
Blake Cochran
VYPE: What PGA golfer and what course would you most like to play a round of golf?
Emerson – The putter is my favorite because its my club that makes or breaks a round. VYPE: What have you worked on to take your game to the next level?
Berry – The mental Brandt Emerson approach, how to use my game and emotions to success Pennington – short game because it’s the most important part of golf. Johnson – Putting because you can save par with a solid putting stroke.
Cochran – Improving the mental side in order to maintain focus all the way through each round. Emerson – Tempo of my swing in order to maintain consistency throughout the round.
VYPE: When it comes to golf, are you superstitious? Berry – Yes, I only play golf balls numbered 1 or 3 every time. Pennington – You can say that as I have a special kind of golf tee that I use, nothing else. Johnson – I have to play golf balls numbered 1-3-or 7; I have my best scores with them.
Cochran – You bet I am, I have a “lucky” ball marker in my pocket every time I tee it up. Emerson – I have to have my hat otherwise I feel incomplete when I step to the first tee.
Berry – I’m a lefty, and would like to play Amen Corner at the Masters with Bubba Watson.
Pennington – Go play the famous 19th hole in Africa with Jordan Spieth and learn his thought process.
Johnson – I’d like to tee it up with Tiger Woods at Augusta National.
Cochran – I wish I could play with Masters champ Jordan Spieth at Pebble Beach.
Emerson – I want to tee it up with Phil Mickelson on any course in Florida especially those on the beach. VYPE: What is the best thing about being a Tahlequah Tiger?
Berry – Being on the course with my best friends and coach Baker making us laugh. Pennington – It’s all about the team, our players and coach are one for all and all for one.
Johnson – We push each other to be the best and we all want each other to win. Cochran – My teammates make it special, friends for life with memories we’ll never forget.
Emerson – Team chemistry is why we’re so good; we enjoy hanging out with each other when not playing golf. Blake Berry Grade: 11 GPA: 3.8

Chris Gilmartin - Muskogee High School The same can be said of Gilmartin’s approach to day-to-day decisions, something that has made an impact with Shane Stewart, faculty advisor in charge of Muskogee’s RougherTV. “Chris is a role model for character,” notes Stewart who defines character as the way you live your life every moment combined with the way others perceive you. “Chris has become the student that I know that I can trust to not just do a job but always do it right. And because of his work ethic, he’s an influence to the other students on our crews.”
In broadcast television, audiences watching telecasts of high school football games see and hear the action as described by the announcers on the screen. But, just like the qualities of character, the man behind the scenes is the key to an award winning delivery. With a proven lifestyle of looking for ways to always make things better, in life as well as his many activities, Muskogee High School senior Chris Gilmartin is the man that makes things happen proving that Character Counts.
“It’s all about helping others,” said Gilmartin while defining his choices and decision-making process. “For me that includes little things like opening a door for someone as well as being available to listen whenever a person needs someone to talk to about an issue in their life.” As the student broadcast engineer for Muskogee High School’s award winning RougherTV, Gilmartin has learned success is not always a quick solution.
“It’s been a variety of decisions and opportunities that started my freshman year,” notes Gilmartin. “At first, I just wanted to run camera at graduation. But once I explored the opportunities, I decided to do a little research to get more knowledge, assess our current programs and then do whatever is needed to make it better, no matter how many hours were required.”

Hard work is just one of Gilmartin’s many traits that make him a young man of character while earning him Muskogee’s Rougher 300 Service award including volunteering to teach elementary students interested in the arts through the Roxy Youth Camp as well as Muskogee Little Theater. “His word is his bond,” said Madison Tomlinson, director of Character and Leadership Development for Muskogee Public Schools. “I’ve always defined character as that part of an individual that makes or breaks you and Chris consistently promotes the core values on the Rougher ROAD at Muskogee High School including respect, opportunity, achievement and determination.”
Society, credits the influences in his life for shaping his approach day to day.
“My grandma (Betty Broyles) taught me the importance of making everyone feel welcome and special,” Gilmartin said with heartfelt emotion. “She taught me the importance of service to others. And my parents (James and Dawn Gilmartin) exampled the value of encouragement and urged me to always do my best. ” After graduation, Gilmartin will attend the University of Oklahoma pursuing his degree from the Gaylord College of Journalism with an emphasis on broadcast and electronic media while pursuing his dream career as a video engineer with ESPN or Fox Sports, going on the road to games and set up what people at home will watch on TV. “I’m not your typical sports fan,” Gilmartin admits. “I enjoy it when the Roughers win but my reward or victory is when the show comes together and everything works.”
With his interactive and caring approach, Chris Gilmartin will no doubt have many victories ahead of him and continue to prove that Character Counts in everything you do.
“I realize that everything I do represents somebody else including my family, my school and my city,” Gilmartin explained. “I want everyone to know what’s right about Muskogee.” The multi-talented Gilmartin, who earned Oklahoma All-State Mixed Chorus along with All-State Jazz Chorus honors while achieving academic recognition as a member of the National and Oklahoma Honor

Bulldogs ON TRACK to State Wagoner girls and boys peaking at the right time.
Chris Sharrock - Chris Murray - Scottie Patton - AJ Freeth The distance from the start to the finish line may vary by event but as the state track meet approached, Wagoner’s girls and boys track squads were reaching championship levels. While the classification of track teams by the OSSAA has once again bumped Wagoner into class 5A, the Bulldogs are using the challenge as another reason to stand on top of the medal stand. “We’ve been competing all year against the bigger schools in order to prepare for the championships,” said girls’ track coach Toby Hummingbird. “From the competition during the indoor season to now, these kids have trained hard to improve their results.” Wagoner’s girls’ squad continues to post top performances, something that Hummingbird credits the leadership of this year’s seniors including Hope Means, Bailee Thomas and Hannah Miller. “They know what it takes to be the best and have been the leaders in our hard core workouts,” Hummingbird said. A state qualifier last year, Bailee Thomas has posted Class 5A’s second best time in the 100 hurdles and a top five time in the 300 event. “She has a natural drive to be the best,” said

Harliln, who has double top ten results in the discus and shot put events. “She’s really studied her videos in order to perfect her performance in the ring,” notes Hummingbird. Like the girls squad, Wagoner’s boys team consist of just three seniors; yet the youth of the team is what energizes head coach Leland Alexander, who has coached a solid cast of talented performers during his nine years at the helm. “We’re young but it hasn’t dampened our expectations to be first to the finish line,” said Alexander when looking at the field of talent in Class 5A boys track. “There’s no fear in these kids because they all have the heart of a champion. We can’t control enrollment numbers but just focus on the fact that there’s no fear in a Bulldog.” School enrollment hasn’t diminished the results for Wagoner’s duo of hurdlers, Chris Sharrock and A.J. Freeth, who have the two fastest times in the 110 hurdles among Class 5A results. Sharrock, who qualified for state as freshmen in both events, has a top five time in the 300 event. “It’s a dogfight every time,” smiled Alexander, “I never know whose going to win but when they go 1-2, I’m all smiles for sure.” With the youth of this year’s team, Alex-
Hummingbird, “Her technique is flawless and by improving her speed she’s got a chance to stand on top of the medal stand every time.” Means is a top ten sprinter in the 100 and 200m along with Brooke Thomas, a freshman, who has recorded the fastest time this spring in the 100 plus a top six finish in the 200m. “Our results in the sprints are boosting our relay times also,” notes Hummingbird, “Brooke and Hope are focused for gold.” The two sprinters along with Alize Farbes and Kali Goforth have recorded among the state’s top four times in the 4x200 relay. Wagoner’s 4x800 relay including Arizona Hummingbird, Kaitlyn Greer, Jayla Kosmitin and Bailee Thomas adds points to the Lady Bulldogs score and expectations for a successful end of the season.

Brooke Thomas - Alize Farbes Hope Means - Kali Goforth ander admits his relay units are a work in progress as the state meet approaches by using a rotation of six runners in the 4x100 and 4x200 events as Jordan McKee, Scottie Patton, Chris Murray and Jake Woodson join Freeth and Sharrock on the oval. Wagoner’s two sprint relays are among the top ten fastest times in Class 5A. “It’s all about having the right combination,” said Alexander. “And it’s good to have depth to choose from to get the fastest times.” Adding to scoring chances is distance runner Cobey Taylor along with Brannen
Arizona Hummingbird Kaitlyn Greer - Jayla Kosmitin Bailee Thomas Goodfellow in the discus and Cory Morman in the shot put. “Cobey will enter the championships under the radar,” notes Alexander referring to his junior distance threat who also plays soccer. “Brannen is a natural throwing the discus capable of big numbers along with Cory in the shot put.” The opportunity for championships is something Wagoner knows plenty about. And, just like in football, Alexander notes the key to success is a winning mentality. “They know it’s not about how you start but
A.J. Freeth - Chris Sharrock all about how you finish,” stated Alexander noting Wagoner’s 1-4 beginning en route to winning the Class 4A state football championship. “We’ve scheduled our training in all phases to peak at the right time. Our kids understand you CAN control the finish.” The talents and results of Wagoner’s girls and boys track teams prove again it’s not the size of the dog in the fight but it’s the size of the fight in the dog. An approach that continues to produce winning results for Wagoner.

GOING…GOING…GONE
Watson - Galvan - Dry - Gann make home runs look easy.
Slow-pitch softball in the springtime offers plenty of energy, especially when you look at the power at the plate. Each in their own style, Elexis Watson and Carlee Gann of Muskogee along with Hayleigh Galvan of Sequoyah-Tahlequah and Kortney Dry of Tahlequah make every trip to the plate count for something whether it’s a base hit, an intentional walk or “no-doubt” swings resulting in home runs. This phenomenal group of underclassmen has launched a total of 69 rockets over the fences as well as leaving well-defined dents in the outfield walls of local softball parks while totaling 252 RBI heading into the state tournaments.

Watson, only a sophomore for the Lady Roughers, creates havoc for opposing coaches on whether to roll the dice and pitch to her or award the automatic walk. The decision remains much the same when her teammate Carlee Gann steps to the plate giving Muskogee coach Keith Coleman multiple options to score runs. VYPEOK.COM

Galvan, a junior for coach Jeff Turtle’s Lady Indians who has already been offered and made a verbal commitment to play collegiately at Oklahoma State University, got the attention of coaches her freshman season the first time she launched a shot over straight-away center field fence into the teeth of the gusting blowing in winds. Dry, who like the others is also a defensive specialist with the glove playing shortstop for coach Brett Morgan’s Lady Tigers, delivers a compact swing with long ball results.
The athletically talented and personable foursome displays consistent bat control and discipline at the plate making decision for their opponents risky, not just this spring in slow-pitch but also when taking the diamond during the fastpitch season. A word of warning to all softball coaches – all four sluggers will return in the fall looking to lead their teams to a state championship in
fastpitch.
VYPE visited the dugout to pose questions for the group about how they swing for the fences.
VYPE: What’s the biggest difference between hitting in slow-pitch and fast-pitch softball? Watson: The speed of the game. You have to be patient at the plate and then take advantage of bat speed. Gann: Reaction time to a pitch is much different allowing you to judge the spin of the ball before you swing. Galvan: Because you go off reaction, you have more time to make up your mind before you swing in slow-pitch.
Dry: Pitchers throw all kinds of junk in fastpitch while in slow-pitch you can see it then crush it. VYPE: Do you have a favorite pitch that you’re watching for to blast out of the park? Watson: If the ball is middle in I know what I’m going to do…smile,
grip the bat and hit it hard.
Gann: I’m always looking for the waist-high pitch, kind of middle inside. When I see it there it’s time to deliver.
Galvan: Inside because those pitches allow me to turn on the ball using my strength and bat speed to hit the ball. Dry: I like the ball to be mid-high but not too flat in the arc. Just drop it into my zone.
VYPE: Describe “that sound” when you make contact resulting in a home run. Do you know it’s gone? Watson: It’s solid and loud. I can feel it as soon as it happens. You know it’s going deep when you make contact.
Gann: It sounds like you just broke something, it’s not always loud depending upon the bat but I can tell when it’s going to leave the yard. Galvan: Boom – Crack - Pow! It’s an awesome feeling. I can tell right away when I hit it.
Dry: It’s more of a feeling, solid as a rock, whenever the ball hits the bat. As soon as I see the ball in flight, I know when it’s headed over the fence.
Elexis Watson
VYPE: How does it make you feel when opposing coaches tell the umpire to “automatically” walk you? Watson: It’s frustrating sort of because I want a chance to hit. But, I also know it’s out of respect for me. Gann: It makes me mad because they’re taking away my chance to bat and help us have a big run inning. Galvan: I just smile and laugh to myself because I know there’s a lineup full of hitters behind me.
Dry: In a close game, it’s frustrating because you want to help win the game. But, when they walk me, I know they still have to face Bub Peters who can go yard also. Take your choice, one run or two.
