Delayed twice by weather, the first portion of the Class 5A West Regional Wrestling Championships was completed over the weekend, with El Reno High School leading the team chase.

El Reno wracked up 102.5 points and qualified five wrestlers for the upcoming Oklahoma State High School Wrestling Championships.

The regional was split into two days, with brackets through 145 pounds completed on day one. Piedmont is second in the team race with 99 points, followed by Duncan (95), Guthrie (88) and Carl Albert (86).

Sophie Vandendriessche knocked down four 3-pointers en route to a team-high 18 points as Okarche High School’s girls basketball team defeated Thomas Fay-Custer 50-45.

The win came in the semifinals of the Class A, Area 1, Region C Winners Bracket and moved the Warriors into the finals against Woodland. Okarche, ranked eighth in the state, is now 14-5 on the season.

The win carried with it an automatic berth in the area round of the postseason for Okarche, now two wins away from a repeat trip to the state tourney.

Calumet High School’s boys basketball team, ranked fifth in the state, cut its magic number to make the Class A state tournament down to two victories over the weekend with a 67-44 win over Wellston.

The Chieftains moved to 15-0 on the season with the win in the semifinals of the Area 1, Region C Winners Bracket. Calumet was slated to play Thomas Fay-Custer for the regional title.

Jacob Mayfield’s team automatically earned a spot in the area around with the victory.

The Senate last week unanimously adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 4 to encourage and invite exhibitors, breed associations and partners to return to Oklahoma in 2022 and again participate in the second annual Cattlemen’s Congress. The resolution was authored by Sen. Casey Murdock, R-Felt.    

Oklahoma City played host to the inaugural Cattlemen’s Congress in January, bringing more than 2,500 exhibitors from 41 states and three Canadian provinces to the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds to showcase their cattle.
