*ALL-STATE: Golfer Nicole Tilley, a 2000 graduate of Stillwater High School, has started her second year as an assistant PGA professional at the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Tilley earned an industrial engineering degree from Penn State but wanted to work in the golf industry. She is employed by Troon Golf, a course management company. Troon offered Tilley the Abu Dhabi assignment, which included retail management at the club. “Abu Dhabi is great because there are so many cultures in one location, and English is the common language,” Tilley told the Stillwater News-Press. “It is also becoming a hub with access to many countries.”

*DIED: From multiple gunshot wounds, former Tulsa Memorial High School basketball standout L.J. Myers Jr. The 21-year-old was gunned down outside a Tulsa restaurant on Feb. 7. Police had no motive for the shooting. Myers was a 5-foot-7 junior point guard who helped Tulsa Memorial beat Putnam City North for the Class 6A state championship in 2008. He averaged 5.4 points, 6.6 assists and 2.3 steals per game that season. As a senior, Myers set a single-game school record with 17 assists during a 41-point victory over Tulsa Noah.
