Varsity High School Sports

By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@Oklahoman.com All-City and All-State teams are some of the most rewarding, if not stressful, times of the year. Who am I to say who deserves what, especially when it comes to subjective results? Swimming, track, wrestling, it’s kind of simple. Where you finished...

By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@Oklahoman.com  If it appears I’ve gone gaga over the McGuinness girls tennis team, umm, I’m sorry?? There’s a fine line between admiring greatness and becoming a cheerleader. I don’t think I crossed it while others seem to differ. Anyway, it was a...

By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@Oklahoman.com  Well, girls are done, time for the boys. Here are some of the things I’ll be looking for. 3A Storyline: Can OCS catch up to Cascia Hall? The Saints are the only team within striking distance of the Commandos. Cascia has won six straight...

By Robert Przybylo Bprzybylo@Oklahoman.com Hey, apologize for the lack of bloggings (is that a word?) lately. Had my hands full with the paint horse, Got Country Grip. Too bad he was denied that 17th straight win. Remington Park was absolutely deflated after he lost. But what a success with...

By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@Oklahoman.com  You ever have that dream of going to some big event without tickets and just waiting it out until you did? I have and plenty of times I’ve given up on it before seeing it through. But not Jeff Tompkins, the new Edmond North boys basketball...

By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@Oklahoman.com  Didn’t take too long for that third outing between tennis stars Eric West of Tulsa Union and Jenks’ Omar Aly. Not too long at all. West beat the sophomore for the third time this year, 6-4, 6-1, in the finals of the Ada Tournament on...

By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@Oklahoman.com Being based in OKC has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the biggest downers for me is the lack of opportunities to see kids from the Tulsa powers, Union, Jenks, etc. So The Boneman made it his No. 1 priority to be at Heritage Hall all weekend...

By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@Oklahoman.com After watching the McGuinness girls tennis team Friday at the Heritage Hall Tournament of Champions, would it be wrong to crown them the champs now? Well, yeah, but this is one dynamic squad. There’s no letdown from No. 1 singles to No. 2...

By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@Oklahoman.com With spring break officially over, it’s time for the stretch run of the school year. As for The Boneman, you can find me on the tennis courts. Our first of many big offerings is this weekend with the Heritage Hall Tournament of Champions. You...

By Zach West zwest@oklahoman.com After one year back on the sidelines, Woody Roof has resigned as Weatherford’s head football coach to concentrate solely on being the school’s athletic director. Roof announced the resignation late last week, and immediately turned over head coaching...

By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@Oklahoman.com We’re about two-thirds of the way done with the high school sports season.

By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@Oklahoman.com Less than an hour away from the Coppin State and Mt. St. Mary’s game, just wondering what our high school readers are thinking for March Madness. Remember, you can’t have a perfect bracket if you don’t win this play-in game. For the record, I...

By Ray Martin rmartin@oklahoman.com Saturday was a crazy day of basketball, to say the least. If you read The Oklahoman Monday, I hope you’re convinced it was the best day of high school basketball ever in this state. So I waited for the smoke to clear to write about this. It’s...

By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@Oklahoman.com That’s all I can really say to try to describe what transpired Saturday and the way I felt today. There are a few times when you know you’re witnessing history. Saturday was one of those days. I won’t dwell too much into games I didn’t see,...

By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@Oklahoman.com If you get that Andy Griffith pun, then you’re as bad and hokey as me. After a great opening session at State Fair, it was off to the Ford Center for some 5A girls basketball. Booker T. Washington vs. Coweta, 5A girls: I was impressed with the...

By Zach West zwest@oklahoman.com  Four games, four double-digit victories.  That pretty much summarizes my day covering the 5A girls quarterfinals.  (That is, unless you count the 30 minutes I spent frantically trying to figure out if people were just goofing...

By Ray Martin rmartin@oklahoman.com I have spent a day and a half at State Fair Arena watching the 3A boys, and I know one thing for sure: If anyone other than Sequoyah Tahlequah is going to win this thing, they have to stop Mike Soap and Bucky Ross. It’s a tall order, and I’m not so...

By Ray Martin rmartin@oklahoman.com It’s halftime here at State Fair Arena, where No. 5 John Marshall leads Morris 23-21. in a 3A boys high school basketball quarterfinal. Morris led most of the first half, but John Marshall staged an 8-2 run to close the half. UPDATE: JM escaped 63-52....

By Ray Martin rmartin@oklahoman.com It’s halftime here at State Fair Arena, and Sequoyah-Tahlequah leads Plainview 39-29 in a boys 3A quarterfinal game. It’s already shaping up to be one of the most exciting games I have seen this season. It’s fast-paced. Players are making big big...

By Ray Martin rmartin@oklahoman.com Not many teams draw a large fan base at 2 p.m. on a Thursday. But the Sequoyah-Tahlequah Indian fans were hoopin’ and hollerin’ more than an hour before tipoff at State Fair Arena. . A Sequoyah fan told me they expect to fill up one side of the big...
