This weekend’s Oklahoma Baseball Coaches Association All-State games will have a dose of Kingfisher County flavor. Ian Daugherty of Kingfisher and Nathaniel Bronaugh of Cashion both were selected as OBCA All-State players for their performances during the 2021 season.

Lomega’s Hector Rivera signed a letter of intent to run at Northwestern Oklahoma State University. Rivera was a four-time state qualifier in the Class 2A state cross country meet, including Lomega’s 2018 team that was the state runner-up. He was also a multi-time qualifier in state track.

The No. 1 doubles team garnered Kingfisher its only points of the Class 4A boys state tennis tournament, but both doubles squads were able to advance to the second day.

Man, what a year for those Cashion Wildcats. You would be hardpressed to match what the Cashion High School boys sports programs did during the 2020-21 school year. We entered the year not even knowing if we’d fully realize sports seasons.

It didn’t take long for Cashion to make its mark in the golf world. In just the program’s fifth year, the Wildcat boys team finished as the Class 2A state runner-up last week at Earlywine Golf Course. The Wildcats shot rounds of 328 and 322 Monday and finished with a 336 Tuesday.

Dominic Stevens had aspirations of winning a pair of golf state championships to close out his career. As with so many others, his aspirations were derailed a year ago by COVID-19.

Entering Thursday, Silo had never lost a first-round game in the spring state tournament under coach Billy Jack Bowen. That streak is still intact.

With a spot in the state semifinals within their grasp, the Kingfisher Yellowjackets painfully watched it slip away.
