Sayre Eagles Fly at shooting competition

The Sayre Lady Eagles fall 4-5 to Dill City-Burns Flat last game. The game was even tied at the bottom of the seventh with four runs each until BFDC scored.

We have several Elk City Athletes who play at various colleges around the state and elsewhere. We would like to get information from their parents, teachers or relatives about them or their team performances for local information.

The Sayre Eagle High School baseball team broke a ten year drought when they toppled the Hobart Bearcats in a 4 inning run rule contest by the score of 13 to 2 on Eagle field last Tuesday evening. Hobart put across their first run in the top of the first inning which was unearned due to an Eagle error. Hobart got their first of 2 hits in the game on a single by the lead off batter. A walk and an error gave up a Hobart run before Rocky Willis struck out the next two batters to end the top of the first inning. The Eagles exploded in the bottom half of the first inning by tacking on 7 runs on 6 hits 2 walks and 2 Bearcat errors.

Both, boys and girls, played Weatherford on Tuesday March 26. It was a district game, and both teams lost 5-0. In the first game, the girls could not get past midfi eld with any offensive plays. It looked as if the team from Weatherford predicted exactly what Elk City had in mind in every play. Weatherford had a much greater defense and was well organized from midfield up, creating many goal opportunities. Jolee King, the Elk City girls’ goalie had at least three fabulous stops on the second half and was busy all night.

The first ever Junior High School Elk City team participated in its first tournament on Monday, March 25th at the Elk City Golf & C.C. Both, boys and girls played nine holes.

Elk City 12 Bridge Creek 3 Offense: Jaxon McArthur 3 hits, 3 runs scored, 1 RBI; Kash Mayfield 2 hits, 2 RBI Defense: Bryce Mouse 5 innings 4 hits, 5 strike outs, 3 runs; Cole Buie 1 inning 0 hits, 0 runs Duncan 12 Elk City 6 Offense: Rylee Boyd 3 hits 1 RBI; Bryce Mouse 2 Hits 1 home run, 2 RBI; Rylan Parks 3 hits 1 RBI Defense: Cameron Carlile 2 innings pitched 2 earned runs, 4 hits; Rylee Boyd 3 2/3 innings pitched 2 earned runs 3 strike outs; Alex Cupp 1 1/3 innings pitched 1 hit 0 earned runs.

Oklahoma Thunder is on top of the Western Conference by a mere ½ game over Minnesota Timberwolves and the Denver Nuggets. All three teams have 47 wins, however, Oklahoma has 20 losses versus 21 for Timberwolves and Nuggets. LA Clippers is five games behind. Season ends mid April and playoffs will start on April 20. Long way to go, but Oklahoma Thunder should make the playoffs. Hopefully, winning the West Conference.
