UPDATED: Sooner QB set to transfer

The freshman quarterback told a Grand Rapids, Mich., radio station he has decided to transfer.....more>>

Back story
If the defenders on Norman North’s back line hadn’t made communication, cohesion and chemistry strengths, they wouldn’t be playing Edmond Memorial for the Class 6A state title tonight at the Yukon Soccer Complex.
The Long way
Savannah Long has an impressive athletic pedigree.
Her father, Jim, played professional baseball in the California Angels’ organization. He played college ball at Duke and Oklahoma State. Her uncles are Cale and Mike Gundy, former star quarterbacks, turned college football coaches. “It’s been kind of expected that we would be athletes because of the genes we have,” Long said.
Under pressure on diamond
As little as two weeks ago, Oklahoma talked confidently about what it had to do to get into the NCAA Tournament. But with two Big 12 Conference series remaining, college baseball’s Big Dance is no longer a major topic.
Double the fun for North
Sam Geurkink was having a good season. Playing No. 2 singles for Norman North, he was one of the best. Yet even unbeaten, he was moved to the No. 2 doubles team, pairing up with Garret Gann. Not that he minded.
Cornelsen loves track and field
Rex Cornelsen’s name is probably on a wall somewhere at Texhoma High School. If not, it should be. He was one of the best shot putters the school’s ever had. “I still hold the school record,” he said.

North learns lesson
When Kalen Ryden bounced a header into the net 97 minutes and 30 seconds into Tuesday night’s Class 6A boys soccer semifinal between Norman North and Tulsa Union he ended one whale of a game but that was hardly all.
Lions will battle at state
A sign hangs above the Moore dugout that epitomizes the Lions’ mentality. “Battle” is what the signs says. And battle the Lions have.
Riding high at RCR
If you’d told NASCAR fans that one team would have three cars in the top five of the series standings going into the second weekend in May, nobody would have been shocked. But which team would it be?
