Live from Skiatook, it’s the Rotnei Clarke show

I arrived at the gym just after 4 p.m. (for an 8 p.m. boys start, gates opened a few minutes ago at 5:30) and there were already about 75 or so Adair and Verdigris fans waiting for the night session to start. The outsiders were Eufaula fans, who were inside cheering their boys before the Lady Ironheads play Adair at 6:30 p.m.

Verdigris’ Clarke is 33 points behind Ty Harman’s career scoring record and figures to have no problem passing the mark tonight.

The anticipation is surely building here at Skiatook as the gym is probably about 1/3 full already. People are still streaming into the arena.

There certainly was no better choice of a site for this event than Skiatook, as the Bulldogs’ home gym is immaculate.

Check out the blog here for quarter-by-quarter updates tonight at least until Clarke breaks the record. Also, be sure to check out NewsOk tomorrow for video of Clarke’s performance.
