Playoff matchups

November 13, 2009 — Verdigris vs. Colcord

Verdigris has a potent running attack compiling 2,837 yards rushing. Kevin Stout rushed for 920 on 101 carries and then the Cardinals relied on four other running backs. Tanner Smith, Bryce Lindsay, and Daniel Sparkmen, and Daniel Burke to give the defense a different look.

Defensively the big gun for the birds is Brandon Melton who had 95 total tackles.

Colcord struggled in what would be classified a weak district.

When: November 13, Friday

Where: Verdigris

Time: 7:30 p.m.



Foyil vs. Tonkawa

Foyil has its hands full with Tonkawa. The Panthers finished 7-3 overall and 7-2 in the district, but Tonkawa is a whole different beast. The Pirates finished 10-0 and 9-0 in district play and they put it on some of the storied teams in Oklahoma at this level.

Woodland,Pawnee,Haskell,Hominy, and Morrison just name one in that list that hasn’t had a state championship in this decade if not more than one.

It appears an uphill battle for the Panther, but few gave them a chance against a Salina team that hadn’t lost a game to the time they played Foyil. Just maybe the Panthers can play giant killer twice in one season.

When: November 13, Friday

Where: Tonkawa

Time: 7:30 p.m



Claremore Christian vs. Timberlake

The Warriors have their hands full with Timberlake or specifically Jake Bowers. The 10-0 Tigers are led by their quarterback. Bowers has accounted for 26 touchdowns, 16 passing and 10 rushing.

Johnny Ketterman is the only Tiger to surpass Bowers with 13 rushing touchdowns. The Tigers have destroyed almost every opponent on their schedule.

Bower’s favorite receiver is Austin Ruess who has caught six touchdown passes and a total of 21 reception. the Tigers get close to the end zone look for Bowers.

When: November 13, Friday

Where: Verdigris

Time: 7:30 p.m.

  • TB-23Hatweb.jpg COLUMN: 'Cardiac Cats' chasing history

    Seven years in the making...

    On a grass sandlot behind Atwoods, the dream of reaching the NAIA World Series was just getting started for the Rogers State University Hillcat baseball team.

    Head coach Ron Bradley, who had won state championships at West Fork (Ark.), Claremore and Jenks, was the perfect fit for breathing life into a soon-to-be baseball powerhouse on the Hill.

    What may have been a dream back then when the Hillcats were practicing in T-shirts, worn-out baseball pants and cleats, is not so anymore as RSU is among the nation's elite competing this week for their first-ever NAIA National Championship.

  • Johnson holds on to win Colonial

    Zach Johnson was so caught up in the emotion of another Colonial title and a victory in honor of his caddie’s late father that he forgot to properly remark his ball before his final putt.

    Even with a two-stroke penalty, Johnson won by one over Jason Dufner and got to slip on the plaid jacket Sunday for his first victory since also winning at Hogan’s Alley two years ago.

  • Team101web.jpg It's a recipe for success

    Oklahoma softball coach Patty Gasso was answering questions Saturday after her Sooners clinched another return to the Women’s College World Series when, without really meaning to, she began to make it clear her job has, sort of, become gloriously boring.

  • WEST FINALS: Spurs edge Thunder in thrilling Game 1

    Trailing in the fourth quarter, Gregg Popovich snarled an order in the huddle that the NBA Coach of the Year punctuated with a sharp and angry sweep of his hand.
    "I want some nasty!"
    But truthfully, Popovich was already getting what he really wanted: the San Antonio Spurs finally in a game they might actually lose.
    Popovich's caught-on-camera "nasty" command in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals is likely coming soon to T-shirts, Internet memes and the lexicon of the NBA playoffs for the foreseeable future. But after beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 101-98 on Sunday night for their 19th win in a row - tying the NBA record for longest winning streak kept alive in the playoffs - Popovich wasn't flustered by the near-loss.

  • NL ROUNDUP: Reds 7, Rockies 5

    Here's how easy it looked to hit home runs at Great American Ball Park on Sunday: Todd Frazier lost his grip on the bat during a swing.
    The ball wound up in the seats anyway.
    Frazier's homer helped the Cincinnati Reds out-bash the Colorado Rockies 7-5 in a game that set a record for the 10-year-old stadium with nine home runs.

  • NL ROUNDUP: Pirates 10, Cubs 4

    Andrew McCutchen and the Pittsburgh Pirates can relate to what the Chicago Cubs are going through.
    Perhaps more than anyone, they know what it feels like to be on an extended losing streak - 12 in a row, in the Cubs' case.
    The Pirates used that to their advantage Sunday.
    McCutchen, Pedro Alvarez and Garrett Jones homered, Erik Bedard pitched six shutout innings and the Pirates won 10-4, extending the Cubs' longest skid in 15 years.

  • NL ROUNDUP: Cardinals 8, Phillies 3

    Another Philadelphia Phillies star is ailing.
    Two-time Cy Young winner Roy Halladay gave up a grand slam to Yadier Molina in an abbreviated two-inning start before leaving with shoulder soreness in an 8-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Halladay pitched with the injury the last few innings of his last start, and cutting back on throwing between outings didn't help.
