BLAKELY BALL COMMITS
TO OKLAHOMA STATE
Staying in the high school ranks, just a couple weeks after
Elk City’s Campbell Garbarino committed to run track at Oklahoma State,
yesterday another Elkette track star committed to the Pokes. Blakely Ball will
be headed to Stillwater to run track as well. Ball had a stellar Jr season last
year winning the gold medal at the state meet in the 400M, she was part of the
gold medal winning 4X200M relay team that broke the state meet record, and
earned a bronze medal in the 4X400M relay. She’s also been a vital part of two
state tournament teams on the softball field in her career as an Elkette.
Congratulations to Blakely Ball on her commitment to continue her track career
at Oklahoma State.

be the last team in the bracket at #11. The first two teams out would be #12 Texas
Tech and #13 Wake Forest. Oklahoma State checks in the poll this week at #25.
The SEC once again dominated the rankings with what would be 5 playoff teams
and 9 teams in the top 25. The Big 10 would have 2 playoff teams and there are
6 in the top 25. The Big 12 would get two playoff teams and a total of 6 ranked

THUNDER LOSE IN
PORTLAND; PLAY AGAIN TONIGHT
The Oklahoma City Thunder started a season long 4 game road
swing on the West Coast last night in Portland. After playing the Blazers to a
tie in the first half, the Thunder lost the 3rd quarter 38-21 and
threw in the white towel in the 4th for a 123-103 loss that snapped
a 4 game winning streak. Dame Lillard went nuts with 25 for Portland. SGA led
OKC 26 and didn’t step foot on the floor in the 4th quarter. Ok City
will get a chance for revenge tonight once again in Portland. They’ll start an
hour earlier tonight so pregame gets crankin at 7:30 ahead of the 9:00 tip.
