The Oklahoma Coaches Association hosted its annual coaches’ clinic and All-State Games in the Tulsa area last week. That included the girls basketball games last Tuesday and the boys basketball games on Wednesday. Three of the four games had some Kingfi sher County flavor. Cashion girls coach Andrea Taylor was the coach of the Small West team which defeated the Small East 69-58. Taylor is pictured in the top left photo with her daughter Kaitin (left) and husband LT. Pictured on the bottom right is Kingfisher’s Raegan Snider, who played for the Large West. Snider scored four points, but her team was defeated 78-61 by the Large East. Cashion’s John Hardaway did his share of coaching against Okarche’s Hunter Mueggenborg the last four years. This time, Mueggenborg was on Hardaway’s team as their Small West squad downed the Small East 107-93 in a shootout. Mueggenborg, pictured on the bottom left along with his Okarche coach Aaron West, scored six points to go with four assists, three steals and a pair of rebounds. Hardaway is pictured above before the game with his wife Amanda and their children, from left, Jack, Abby and Sam. [Snider photo by Glen Miller of El Reno Tribune; other photos provided]

John quotes Jesus as using a form of the same word in John 17:4 and John 4:34. Even though Jesus’ time on earth was relatively short, he lived with the glory of God as his highest priority and lived to complete the work the Father had given him to accomplish. We can also live with the glory of God as our highest priority and lived to complete the work the Father had sent him to accomplish! This is our purpose as God’s children (Ephesians 1:6, 1:12, 1:14; 1 Peter 2:9-10). The more we live by Kingdom priorities (Matt. 6:33), the more we can rest assured that we can finish our work and know we have honored the Father with our lives! Let’s be like our Savior and complete the work the Father has given us to do. My Prayer...
