Santa Fe: Brian Mills video... October 01, 2009 By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@opubco.com The top reason for the resurgence for Edmond Santa Fe has been this man, senior RB Brian Mills. Resurgence might be too strong of a word, but after the first two games, I thought it was going to be a LONG season. It still might be, but it’s not because the team has... Read More

Ed Memorial: Q&A with Aubree Young... September 30, 2009 By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@opubco.com The cross country battles almost become simply another version of Edlam as all three Edmond schools (Memorial, Santa Fe and North) have solid programs.

Casady: Q&A with John Ratliff... September 30, 2009 By Robert Przybylo BPrzybylo@opubco.com Casady is in a weird spot. Not just because it’s not in the OSSAA, but also because it’s one of the only schools that has field hockey and a boys volleyball team. Because of that, sometimes those sports get lost in the shuffle. Here is a Q&A with senior... Read More

Volleyball: More shuffling atop the 6A poll September 30, 2009 I’ve officially stopped trying to figure out the coaches’ volleyball polls at OKRankings.com. One thing that seems to be apparent is that head-to-head victories don’t mean a whole lot. Two weeks ago, Tulsa Union had defeated Edmond Santa Fe, but remained behind them in the rankings. Then last week, when... Read More
