All three local competitive cheer teams have earned the right to compete this weekend at state.Crescent was crowned a Class 2A regional champion last weekend at its competition in Chickasha.Cashion was third in that same regional.Meanwhile, Kingfisher was fifth in its Class 4A regional at Stroud.

A Kingfisher team at full strength meant no shot for the rest of the field in the eighth annual Mike Driskill Turkey Creek Classic cross country meet.

Offense, defense and special teams contributed to the final score as Hennessey got back in the win column.The Eagles returned from their week off with a balanced attack in a 47-0 win over Crooked Oak in Oklahoma City.

Their battles from last season were those of two titans.Only one of the teams, however, resembled its 2020 self when they met again Friday night.Cashion throttled Thomas early and often, then coasted in the second half before returning home with a 47-0 victory.

Crescent methodically pulled away from Boone-Apache to earn its second straight road win of the season.The Tigers controlled the game with their running attack and kept their hosts out of the end zone until the fourth quarter Friday to earn a 21-6 victory.

Lynn Shackelford has had some throwing and catching duos in his days at Cashion.Cayden Cochran to Jeremy Seaton.Matt Harman to Josh Hampton.Griffin Lamb to Seth Brown.Ty Reasoner to Nate Lee…or Joe Neece.Add Ben Harman to Landon LaGasse to the list.

Overmatched and overwhelmed.The former was Chisholm’s situation heading into its Week 2 matchup with Kingfisher last Friday night.The latter was its fate just a few minutes in.
