Waurika’s boys basketball squad rebounded from a first-round setback by winning two consecutive games and claimed the consolation title of the Comet Classic at Velma-Alma last weekend.

The Waurika girls won a first-round game in the tourney, but fell in the next two contests to finish fourth.

The Waurika boys fell in the first round to Walters, 55-46, before taking a 52-41 victory over Marlow Junior Varsity and handing Sterling a 46-30 defeat in the consolation finals of the tourney last Saturday night.

The Lady Eagles claimed a 35-33 victory over Konawa in the first round of the tourney last Thursday, but fell in the semifinals to Amber-Pocasset, 51-28, and to Sterling, 40-29, in the third place clash.

The first-round win by the Lady Eagles was close throughout.

Waurika held a 10-6 lead after the first quarter and both teams battled on even terms in the second quarter to give the Lady Eagles a 17-13 advantage at the intermission.

Konawa took the lead after three quarters by outscoring the Lady Eagles, 12-7, to hold a 25-24 lead entering the final period of play.

Liberti Simmons and Asia Smith hit key free throws down the stretch and Tallin Mora hit two of her four three pointers in the fourth quarter to give Waurika the win.

 Mora paced the Lady Eagles in scoring with 12 points.

In the semifinals, the Lady Panthers proved to be too much for the Lady Eagles after Waurika had a hard time scoring in the first quarter.

The Lady Panthers moved out to a 13-2 advantage after the first quarter and Waurika really never got on track on the offensive end of the court.

Am-Po increased the margin to 27-11 at the half.

Waurika narrowed the gap to 35-21 at the end of the third quarter, the Lady Panthers went on a 16-7 scoring run in the fourth quarter to dash any hopes of a Waurika rally.

Smith was the only Waurika player in double figures with 12 points.

In Saturday’s third place game the Lady Tigers held a slim 5-4 lead at the end of the first quarter and increased the lead to 12-9 after the second period.

The Lady Tigers added to the lead in the third quarter with an 11-8 advantage to lead 23-17 heading into the fourth quarter.

The Lady Tigers pulled away in the fourth quarter with a 17-12 run to secure the victory.

Smith was the leading scorer for the Lady Eagles with nine points.

The Eagles suffered their first loss of the season in the first round of the tournament.

Walters took a 14-5 first quarter advantage, but the Eagles cut the deficit to 23-18 by the end of the first half.

The Eagles continued to chip away at the Blue Devil advantage and trailed 35-32 at the end of the third quarter.

The game was close throughout the final quarter, but Walters converted 12 of 17 free throws to hold off the Eagles and stretch the lead to the final margin.

Treyton Torrez had a season-high 21 points for the Eagles, but no other Waurika player was in double figures.

The Eagles got back on the winning track in the consolation semifinals with an impressive 11-point victory over the Outlaw Junior Varsity.

In the first quarter neither team could score and Waurika ended the quarter with just a 6-2 lead.

The Eagles increased the margin to 24-16 by halftime and pulled away with 28 points in the second half while holding the Outlaws to only 15 points in the final two quarters.

Peyton Fletcher led the Eagles in scoring with 15 points, while Torrez added 12.

In Saturday’s consolation championship game, the Eagles had to rally from a 12-4 deficit in the first quarter.

Waurika outscored the Tigers, 13-7, in the second quarter to trail only 19-17 heading to the locker room.

The Eagles took command of the game in the third quarter with a 14-3 scoring advantage to lead 31-22 going into the fourth quarter.

The Tigers made a run at the Eagles, but the Eagles were able to connect on nine of 12 free throw attempts to get the win.

Torrez had 15 points to pace the Eagles in scoring.

TOURNAMENT NOTES: Velma-Alma girls and boys won the tournament titles on Saturday…The was the second straight year the Waurika teams have competed in the Comet Classic….The boys improved on last year’s 0-2 performance by taking the consolation title, while the Lady Eagles finished fourth after winning the consolation title in the 2018 tourney…Torrez finished the tourney by averaging 16 points in the three games….Smith was the top point-producer in the tourney for the Lady Eagles with 28 points in three games.

Ryan, Waurika Track Squads Battle Weather & Tough Competition

Track 3

 It was a tough day at the track last Thursday as Ryan and Waurika’s track squads competed at the Charles Butler Invitational at Wynnewood.

It was tough because of relatively bad wind through the duration of the meet.

But, the meet also attracted teams from Classes 5A down to Class A making the competition for Ryan and Waurika – both Class A schools – pretty tough.

No team scores were kept at the meet, but individuals from both schools turned in some good performances.

In the 3,200 meter relay the Lady Eagles and Cowgirls battled for the gold medal and the Lady Eagles came out on top with a time of 11:29.69. Asia Smith, Lexie Streeter, Faith Roberson and Tallin Mora comprised the winning team for the Lady Eagles.

Wewoka managed to slip in between the Lady Eagles and the Cowgirls putting the Cowgirls in third place with a time of 11:37.22.  The team of Lilybet Harmon, Lily York, Juliet Spangler and Holland Carter put in an effort that is the third best time this season and the sixth best time in school history.

In the individual race covering 3,200 meters, Ryan’s Spangler and Alicen Williams placed third and fourth, respectively.

Spangler had a time of 14:19.06, while Williams turned in a mark of 14:24.15

The only other placer for the Cowgirls was in the 800 meters where Harmon managed fifth place with a time of 2:49.91.

Smith and Streeter both placed in the 1,600 meter race. Smith took the gold medal with a time of 6:18.15, while Streeter was right behind at 6:18.50 to earn a silver medal.

The Lady Eagles placed in three different field events.

Madison Roberson claimed the title in the shot put with a toss of 38-3 – her personal best of the 2019 season.

Roberson also managed a sixth place finish in the discus with a toss of 82-9.

Mora finished fifth in the long jump with a leap of 15-7.75 – which was her best effort of the season until last Saturday’s performance at Waurika.

The Eagles sent a small contingent to the meet, but the 3,200 meter relay team of Cache Arellano, Turner Mora, Gustavio Gomez and Octavio Gomez brought home gold medals with a time of 9:33.78.

The only other placer for the Eagles was Tu. Mora, who earned a silver medal in the 400 meters with a time of 55.81.

 The Cowboys’ Walker Rawlings placed in both of the weight field events. Rawlings finished fourth in the shot put with a toss of 43-2 and managed sixth place in the discus with a throw of 106-7. The mark for the shot put was his best throw of the season in the event.

Cowgirl Softballers Head to District Tourney Looking for a Win

It has been a very difficult season for the Ryan Cowgirl softball squad as the team is heading into today’s district tourney without a victory for the year.

The Cowgirls were seeking their first win today in the opening game of the Class B District Tournament at Big Pasture. The Cowgirls were slated to face Temple at noon.

The loser of that game will face Big Pasture at 2 p.m., while the winner of the first game will get a shot at Big Pasture at 4 p.m. If Big Pasture wins both games, they will face either Ryan or Temple in the finals at 6 p.m.

An if necessary game will be played Friday at 4 p.m. and the winner will move on to the regional tournament next weekend.

The Cowgirls dropped two more games this past week with a 12-2 loss at Frederick last Thursday and then fell to Geronimo on Tuesday, 13-0.

In the final regular season game for the Cowgirls, four seniors were recognized on Senior Day at Larry Ninman Field.

Savanna Lashley, Madisen Rhoads, Brooklyn Charmasson and Samantha Good were the four Cowgirls playing their final fast-pitch softball game for Ryan.

In Tuesday’s action, Geronimo jumped out in front 1-0 after one inning and that is where the score remained until the Lady Blue Jays exploded for 12 runs in the top of the third inning. Geronimo had five walks and seven hits – including a home run – that led to the scoring bonanza.

The Cowgirls got a single run in the top of the first inning against Frederick last week at Frederick.

Lindsey Reake singled and scored on Good’s single down the left field line.

Frederick took the lead in the bottom of the first as the Lady Bombers scored two runs to take a 2-1 lead.

The Lady Bombers added four runs in the bottom of the second to increase the advantage to 6-1.

In the top of the third inning Ryan trimmed the lead on Madison Rhoades’ solo home run to put the score at 6-2.

Frederick exploded in the bottom of the third inning with six runs to lead the contest, 12-2.

When the Cowgirls could not score in the top of the fourth inning the game ended on the run rule.

Good was 2-for-2 at the plate for the Cowgirls. 

Cowboys, Eagles Set To Renew Old Rivalry Tonight at Ryan

By

A lot of things have changed in high school football since the first meeting between Ryan and Waurika 100 years ago.

The two schools are set to meet tonight for the 62nd time since that first meeting in 1919.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at the Bob Givens Sports Complex in Ryan and a large crowd is expected.

Waurika has had an impressive season so far as the Eagles have carved out a 5-1 record that includes a forfeit from Temple.

Ryan has struggled through the first half of the season, but has managed to put together a 3-3 record that also includes a forfeit from Temple.

The Eagles are coming off a big 62-34 win over Wilson to open district play last Friday night, while Ryan suffered a 58-8 setback to Empire in its district opener last Friday night.

Waurika has dominated this rivalry through the years as the Eagles hold a 41-17-3 record in meetings against the Cowboys.

Ryan won the first of two meetings in 1919, 23-0, before Waurika came back to edge the Cowboys in the second meeting, 29-27.

It was the first year the two schools competed in football on the high school level and oddly enough the two teams did not meet again until 1927 when Ryan scored a 37-0 victory over the Eagles.

It is not known why the two schools, located only 10 miles apart, did not play between 1920 and 1926.

Changes in the sport have certainly occurred since those initial meetings 100 years ago.

One big change was the introduction of the T-formation with a quarterback under center. While the two schools employ a shotgun formation most of the time today, it was unheard of for the quarterback to be under the center to take the snap.

Conversion tries after touchdowns in those early days with worth only one point no matter if the try was kicked or it was a run or pass.

Equipment has greatly improved especially with the protection for the head. In the game 100 years ago the helmets were leather and were without any kind of facemask.

Today helmets have been upgraded to hopefully prevent concussions and have plenty of padding and a face mask.

High school football today features bigger and faster athletes, while the players 100 years ago were mostly tall and lanky.

But one thing has not changed through the 100 years of football – Ryan and Waurika love to beat each other.

And while the wins have been few and far between for the Cowboys overall, Waurika holds only a 4-3 advantage in meetings since Waurika dropped to eight-man football a few years ago.

The series took a long break between 1978 and 2011 with only two meetings during those years as a rare two-game series was played with Ryan competing in eight-man football and Waurika still playing 11-man football.

The Eagles won 14 of the final 15 meetings between the two schools when the Cowboys still played 11-man football. The only win during that time came in 1974 with the Cowboys scoring a 28-0 victory over the Eagles.

In last year’s contest, Waurika totally dominated the game taking advantage of six Ryan turnovers to earn a 58-0 victory over the Cowboys in a game that ended at halftime.

The Eagles will come into the game as a heavy favorite as the Cowboys are scrambling to find the right combinations to help develop an effective offense.

But, as with most meetings between the two schools over the past 100 years, it should be a hard-fought contest and one fans should not miss.

Here’s a look at the results of the long-running series:

Cowgirls’ Tough Season Comes to an End at District Tourney

By

 Competing in fast-pitch softball without an experienced pitcher usually is not a good situation.

The 2019 Ryan Cowgirl fast-pitch softball team experience that first hand during the recently completed season that saw the Cowgirls go winless in 19 games.

Without an experienced pitcher on the squad, coach Stan Mueggenborg looked to senior Samantha Good who had been a three-year starter at shortstop.

And, despite great effort throughout the season, according to Mueggenborg, Good could not carry the Cowgirls to one victory during the season.

Last Thursday the difficult campaign ended with two losses in the Class B District Tournament that was hosted by Big Pasture.

The Cowgirls lost the first game to Temple, 13-0, and then fell to Big Pasture, 18-4.

The game with Temple was close for three innings. Temple held a 2-0 lead after three innings, but the Lady Tigers exploded for 11 runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to blow the game wide open.

Kodi Duke and Savannah Lashley had the only two hits for the Cowgirls in the contest.

The second game was much different as the Lady Rangers took a 3-0 lead after one inning and then blew the game open with 10 runs in the second inning to hold a 13-0 advantage.

Big Pasture added to the lead in the bottom of the third with a pair of runs to increase the margin to 15-0.

In the top of the fourth the Cowgirls put together a three-run uprising sparked by Good’s two-run home run. Lindsey Reake scored the other run for the Cowgirls on Katelyn Dabbs’ hit and the Cowgirls trailed 15-3.

The Rangers scored three more runs in bottom of the fourth that put the lead at 18-3.

In the top of the fifth the Cowgirls scored another run as Brooklyn Charmasson singled and later came around to score but it was not enough to end the game on the run-rule.

COWGIRL DIAMOND NOTES: The 19 losses in 2019 is the most losses in a season since the program started in 2000….There are nine years in which no final win-loss records are available….The Cowgirls have now lost six straight games in district tournament play….In 20 seasons the Cowgirls are 10-35 in district tourney games…This was the first year for the Cowgirls to play in a district tournament hosted by Big Pasture…Ryan is 2-9 in district tournament meetings with Temple…Ryan and Big Pasture have met only twice in district tournament play with each team winning one game…The 18 runs scored by Big Pasture was the third most allowed by the Cowgirls in 2019….Temple had upset Big Pasture, 3-2, in the first game of the tournament, but the Lady Rangers came back to win two straight over Temple and claim the district title….Big Pasture is ranked 16th heading into regional play.

Lady Eagles See Improvement as 2019 Season Closes

 First-year head coach Everett Hodges had hoped to see some marked improvement in the Waurika fast-pitch softball program during the 2019 season.

And while the season ended with a less than sterling record at 5-16, the Lady Eagles showed great progress in trying to build the fast-pitch program.

The Lady Eagles were competitive in many more games than in the past couple of seasons and with the entire squad slated to return for the 2020 season, there is much optimism for the program.

The 2019 season came to a close last Thursday in the Class A District Tournament at Ringling.

The Lady Eagles fell in the first round to Wilson, 10-6, and then came back to lose to Ringling, 16-6, in the second game.

In the game with Wilson, the Lady Eagles had plenty of chances but just could not get a key hit when it was needed.

Wilson struck for two runs in the top of the second, but the Lady Eagles answered with a single tally in the bottom half of the first. Liberti Simmons reached on an infield hit and advanced around the bases, helped by an error, to get the first run for the Lady Eagles.

In the top of the second, Wilson added four runs on just two hits as the Lady Eagles fell apart in the field during the uprising giving Wilson a 6-1 lead.

The score remained at 6-1 until the Lady Eagles struck for a run in the bottom of the third inning. Hope Cummings drew a lead-off walk and scored when Riley Howell reached on an error. Waurika eventually loaded the bases, but could not cut into the lead and the inning ended with Waurika trailing, 6-2.

In the top of the fourth, Wilson added another run on a double and an error.

Waurika answered with a run in the bottom of the fourth, but again a base running miscue and the inability to get a key hit stopped a rally. Gracie Walling reached on a walk and then scored on Landry Forsyth’s double to bring the deficit to 7-3.

Wilson continued to pad the lead as an infield hit, a hit batsman and a double produced two runs to up the lead for Wilson to 9-3.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Lady Eagles got a leadoff double by Walling and she scored on a ground out by Faith Roberson. The Lady Eagles got a pair of walks, but could not cut into Wilson’s advantage,

In the top of the seventh Wilson picked up another run on two hits and an error.

With the Lady Eagles looking at a 10-5 deficit heading to their final at-bat, it was again the lack of ability to take full advantage of opportunities to score.

One-out singles by Kinzie Taylor and Simmons got the rally started. Walling’s infield hit loaded the bases and Simmons scored on a single by Forsyth after two were out. The game ended with the Lady Eagles leaving the bases loaded.

In the second game against the eventual district tourney champion Ringling, the Lady Blue Devils wasted no time in putting away the Lady Eagles.

Ringling struck for seven runs in the bottom of the first inning with 11 batters coming to the plate. Two errors, two walks, two singles and two doubles along with a passed ball and two stolen bases helped the Lady Blue Devils plate the seven runs.

The Lady Eagles answered in the top of the second inning with four runs of their own. A single by Alana Lewis was followed by a walk by Cassidie Berry and a two-out single by Simmons loaded the bases for the Lady Eagles.

Walling slammed a double to left field that cleared the bases and cut the lead to 7-3. Walling scored on Cummings’ double to leave the Lady Eagles trailing 7-4.

In the bottom of the third, Ringling struck for three more runs on a hit batsman, single, error and a two-run double that increased the Waurika deficit to 10-4.

In the top of the fourth the Lady Eagles scratched a pair of runs. Grace Hill reached on an error and Simmons walked. A two-out double by Cummings scored Hill and Simmons, but the rally ended with Waurika trailing 7-4.

In the bottom of the fourth the Lady Blue Devils ended the game with six runs. Four singles and one error contributed to the uprising that ended the game by the run rule.

Rainy Friday Night at Maysville Unkind to Cowboys

 The Ryan Cowboys spotted Maysville 38 straight points and could never recover in dropping a 54-6 verdict to the Warriors in a game that ended at the half.

The contest was delayed twice by lightening, but the Cowboys were never really in the game that was played in rainy and miserable conditions.

The two delays totaled about two hours in length.

The Cowboys will try to get back on track tomorrow night (Friday) as they will play host to the Caddo Bruins in a homecoming contest. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at the Bob Givens Sports Complex.

The Bruins will bring a 1-2 record to Ryan. Caddo lost its season-opener to Wilson, 58-16 and then fell to Dewar, 54-6. Last week the Bruins picked up their only win of the season with a 34-6 victory over Thackervile.

The game was barely underway when the first weather delay occurred and the Cowboys trailed only, 8-0.

But when play resumed, the Warriors got another score before the end of the quarter to up the lead to 16-0.

Early in the second quarter the Warriors increased the lead to 24-0.

From that point in the game it became the Gunner Aprill show for the Warriors as the talented quarterback scored four straight times for the Warriors.

The Cowboys got on the board late in the second quarter after a second weather delay and sandwiched between Aprill’s four touchdowns. Grayson Tomberlin broke loose for a 55-yard run which cut the Maysville lead to 36-6.

Aprill got the third and fourth of his scores to close out the scoring for Maysville. His third TD of the night came on a two-yard run.

On the ensuing kickoff, the Warriors executed an onside kick and just one play later Aprill scooted 40 yards to seal the mercy-rule victory for the Warriors.

Tomberlin led the Cowboys in rushing with 70 yards on eight carries, but the Warriors held the Ryan offense in check most of the night.

Aprill finished the night with 125 yards on nine carries for the Warriors while Gunner Chambers added 101 yards on just six carries. The Warriors rolled up 322 yards on just 22 carries in the shortened contest.

Tomberlin led the defensive effort for the Cowboys with five tackles.

RYAN RAMBLINGS: Despite the loss the Cowboys hold a 4-3 lead in the series with Maysville….The 54 points scored by the Warriors is the most ever against the Cowboys….The combined total of 60 points by the two teams is the most in the seven-game series with the Warriors…Maysville is unranked in the Class C poll in The Daily Oklahoman, but is ranked sixth in the latest okprep.com poll…

The eighth-ranked Waurika girls’ cross country squad turned in an impressive performance Tuesday afternoon at the annual Velma-Alma Invitational at the Wildhorse Golf Course.

Waurika finished fourth in the team race behind two Class 3A ranked teams and one ranked Class 4A squad.

Marlow won the meet with 61 points, while Blanchard was second with 120 and Purcell was third with 143 points. The Lady Eagles totaled 156 points – well ahead of the fifth-place team from Latta.

The junior high girls also had an outstanding meet as they earned third place with 124 points. Velma-Alma was the team champion with 29 points and Marlow was the runner up with 103 tallies.

The high school boys were short-handed and did not figure into the team race. The junior high boys also did not have enough participants to compete for the team title.

Three Lady Eagles earned medals in the high school division. Times were not available for today’s race.

Tallin Mora was the top competitor for the Lady Eagles with a 13th-place finish. Also earning medals were Liberti Simmons, who finished 21st and Lexie Streeter, who finished 22nd among the 92 competitors.

Also competing for the Lady Eagles were Faith Roberson (43rd), Hope Cummings (57th), Kacie Reynolds (73rd) and Savana Ritter (87th).

The best finisher for the high school boys was Gustavo Gomez who earned 38th place among the 96 competitors. Cache Arellano finished 46th and Nicolas Alvarado rounded out the Waurika participants with a 67th place finish.

The junior high girls had four medalists in the competition.

Kynlee Waters led the way for the junior high squad with a ninth-place finish. Among the other medal winners were Jaci Gholson (12th), Trish Julian (19th) and Skylar Garrett (29th).

Also competing were Caity Ramsey (55th), Sadie Smith (59th), Niesca Camarillo (62nd) and Tracy Ballard (77th). The junior high girls field featured 98 competitors.

Three junior high boys earned medals in the competition for the Eagles. Isaac Camarillo finished 18th and Aiden Jenkins was right behind with a 19th-place finish. Alex Gomez also won a medal with his 27th-place finish.

Malachi Dodson also competed for the Eagles and finished 72nd. There were 100 competitors in the junior high boys division.

Waurika also had three sixth graders compete in the meet and all three earned medals.

Dallie Young was 15th for the Lady Eagles, while Ryder Watkins and Jaxon Simmons were sixth and ninth, respectively, for the Eagles.

Waurika will next compete on its home course on Tuesday as they will play host to a number of Class 2A and Class 3A squads from this part of the state.

This will be an excellent chance for fans to see these teams run as they head toward the regional meet in the middle of October.
