The Oklahoma Insurance Department announced a package of preliminary legislative proposals that fail to directly address skyrocketing premiums and suggest measures that would make it more difficult for policyholders to fight back, critics say.

Nearly a decade after Missouri lost its NFL franchise in St. Louis to Los Angeles, the state learned Monday that the Kansas City Chiefs are moving across the state line to Kansas.

While no teams have tipped off their NJCAA Region 2 schedules, Redlands Community College women’s basketball team has positioned itself to be a contender for the 2026 regular-season title.

Redlands closed out the 2025 portion of its schedule with a 94-46 win over Southwestern Christian University to move to 13-1 on the season.

The Cougars have the best record in Region 2 at the break and are one of just two teams with double-digit wins ahead of Northern Oklahoma College of Enid at 10-0.

Redlands Community College men’s basketball team will be looking for consistence when the Cougars hit the road Monday to kick off NJCAA Region 2 action at Connors State College.

Jose Molina Negron’s team is currently 6-8 on the season but the Cougars have not won more than two games in a row.

Redlands was ranked sixth in the Region 2 preseason poll and currently holds that position in the win-loss record among league teams.

The need for consistency falls on both ends of the court.
