Crescent had to wait a couple of extra days, but still put together another methodical victory. The Tigers defeated Hinton 24-6 on Monday to improve to 7-1 entering the season’s final week.

District title hopes are gone. Now it’s about pride and playing at home. Kingfisher turned it over six times last Friday night - five times in the first half alone - en route to a 47-21 home loss to Heritage Hall.

The two frontrunners for the District A-3 championship had the same defensive game plan when they met last week: Stop the run. There’s only one problem when teams do that against Cashion and that’s the Wildcats’ lethal passing attack.

Hennessey’s win streak came to an abrupt halt last Friday against the best team in its district and perhaps one of the better squads in all of 2A. Oklahoma Christian School dominated both sides of the ball in a 55-0 victory over the Eagles in Edmond.

Kingfisher County voters will receive a single, two-sided ballot to decide candidates and issues in tomorrow's general election. Voters residing within the Kingfisher city limits will receive a second, separate ballot on the city's Capital Improvement sales tax initiative.

Polls across the state open at 7 a.m. Tuesday, November 3 for Election Day voting.The State Election Board says this is a unique election year for many reasons – the pandemic, a recent ice storm, and a surge in voter registration numbers.

With sunny skies, temperatures reaching the balmy mid 60s and not a speck of ice in sight Friday, the Shocktober ice storm is already a distant memory. As long as you don’t look at the mounds of tree limbs and debris scattered in nearly every yard and field.

Beware of the years with 2s and 0s. While Kingfisher County has seen intervening ice storms, last week’s October surprise had everyone hearkening back to the last, worst event in recent memory – the January 2002 storm that left some residents without power for more than a month.
