Redlands Community College will be headed back to the Sunshine State next week for the 2024 NJCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championships after earning an at-large bid for a second straight season.

The 2024 championship, hosted by Eastern Florida State College, runs May 19-24 at the Duran Golf Club in Melbourne, Fla.

Redlands earned the at-large bid after placing fifth at the NJCAA Southwest District Championships in Fort Worth. The Cougars posted a 54-hole total of 977 after rounds of 324, 331 and 322.

Players on Okarche High School’s boys basketball team, along with team members and school staff, were honored last week in the Oklahoma House of Representatives for winning the 2024 Class A State Championship.

The group was hosted by Reps. Mike Dobrinski and Nick Archer.

Bull riding fans can get an up-close view of the sport on Sunday as the 12th Annual Mustache Bash returns to the Denny-Crump Arena, with opening ceremonies set for 2 p.m.

It's the third year for El Reno to host the event, which started in 2013, and sports 50 professional bull riders in a one-day cash prize event. Fans can bring their own lawn chairs and sit inside the arena. The riding is conducted in a fenced pen but in full view of fans.

Cost to enter the event is $10 for fans ages 6 to 12 years old and $15 for 13 and older. Those under the age of 5 are free.

Reggie Wassana has a one-word answer: jobs.

“Someone has to step up and help create an environment that helps build economic opportunity in central and western Oklahoma,” said Wassana, governor of the C&A Tribes. “It can be the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes working with the local communities to help build a promising future for the generations to come. We can’t always rely on the oil and gas industry because it fluctuates up and down.
