You have to work with what you have. You have to play the hand you have been dealt. You have to make the best of your circumstances. Complaining about your situation is unproductive and a complete waste of time.
Regardless of your circumstances, chances are that you are not maximizing your potential. There is a solution for every problem and every problem contains an opportunity. Spending any time being envious of another’s lot is a total waste of energy.
Banner students enjoyed a night of skating.
On Thursday, Feb. 23, the two-week-long, non-stop religious revival at tiny Asbury University in rural Wilmore, Ky., saw its official end. Starting with about 20 students who stayed after a regular campus chapel service, tens of thousands had been drawn from across the country in that short span to participate in almost radically simple prayer, singing and worship.
By then, this “awakening” was reported to have spread to several other religious colleges.
Maple March Students of the Month, front row from left, Madison Basler, third grade; Maddox Tartsah, first grade; Tinsley Kennedy, kindergarten; and Lane Clark, pre-kindergarten; back row, Dean Davis, second grade; John Prince, fourth grade; Pierson Brandley, eighth grade; Ethan Brooks, seventh grade; Jaden Smith, sixth grade; and Hunter Lorenzen, fifth grade.

It took two days and an array of elements from Mother Nature, but El Reno High School’s baseball team earned its first district sweep of the 2023 season over the Southeast Spartans.
Originally set for a one-day doubleheader, El Reno took the first game by a 15-0 score. However, play was halted due to thunder and lightning and eventually called because of rain.
Game two was played a day later in mid-70-degree temperatures and a brisk south wind, which El Reno used to post a 20-1 victory. The Spartans avoided the shutout with a run in the final inning.
El Reno High School’s track team made the long trip north to Ponca City for the 2023 Jerry Runyan Wildcat Relays, turning in two top eight finishes in the team standings.

Returning to the Oklahoma City Tennis Center for its third tourney of the season, El Reno High School’s girls squad ran into some tough brackets at the 2023 Guthrie Invitational.

She posted a 2-2 record following a 6-1/6-2 win over Putnam City’s Van Sui. Graham had a bye following losses to Oklahoma Bible Academy’s Ashley Miller (6-0/6-0) and Carl Albert’s Zoey Shaw (6-0/6-2).
Bri Barksdale took 15th at No.2 singles with a 1-3 mark but logged six winning games in her three losses.
Playing shorthanded for the second of three matches due to red-card suspensions, El Reno High School’s girls soccer team stayed in contention for a playoff berth with a 3-2 road win at Guthrie.

The Indians trail Southeast, Carl Albert and Guymon (2-2) by a game in the loss column for third place and have the latter two remaining on the schedule.
The top four teams in each district make the playoffs.
