Brayden Fulton, Dacus Cooper and Vincent Walker each played a key role in helping the North squad secure a 5-4 win over the South in the Large School Game.

“It was really fun to get out here and have fun with those guys one more time,” said Fulton.

Calumet’s Tignor, Olive fall short in All-Star outing

Body

WEATHERFORD – Tyler Tignor thought that last week’s Western Oklahoma Baseball Coaches Association All-Star Game would be his last coaching stint with his former standout player – Calumet graduate Jaxon Olive.

Tignor, who will be the new athletic director at Hammon come fall, coached the North squad for a fifth time in the WOBCA Small School Game. It ended on a sour note with a 5-1 loss to the South squad.

However, Tignor and Olive will get another shot to go out together as winners.
