7th, 8th and 9th grade football teams traveled north Monday night for
the season finale. The strong south winds, gusting at time over 40 mph
propelled the team buses up highway 69 to Mustang Stadium. The Oologah
Mustangs 7th, 8th, and 9th grade teams were enjoying a very successful
season up to this date. The Cardinals blew into Oologah with this in mind.
“It is not what we have done – but what we are about to do!”
The 7th grade defense
just plainly “out hit” the Mustangs all night long and pitched
another shut out 16-0. The 7th grades finished the 2010 season with
a record of 7-1, and are Co-Champs of the 5A Metro-Lakes Conference.
The 8th grade running
game was just too much for the Mustangs. The O-Line dominated the L.O.S.
Our 8th grade finishes with a fantastic record of 7-1 and is Runner-up
in the 5A Metro-Lakes Conference.
Our 9th grade orchestrated
another terrific season. They shut out the Mustangs 12-0 and captured
the title Co-Champs of the 5A Metro-Lakes Conference. They finish the
season with a record of 7-1.
When a season comes
to an end, there are so many who you want to say thank you. I appreciate
the coaches who spend many hours and great effort to have a successful
season. Ben Davis, Steve Sparks, and Brian Phillips have been tremendous.
The varsity assistant coaches, Mike McClure, Shawn Tesar, Kurt Boomer,
Damon Herald, and Matt Davison, and head coach Kevin Jones have been
great teachers on the practice field each day during 4th hour Jr. Hi
athletics. They also coach’m up on game night. Our Athletic Director,
Jim Riley, and his staff giving our program the guidance and support
we need. Our administration, Mr. Terry Due, Mr. Lance West, Mr. Dale
Harp, Mrs. Kelly Hamlin, and Mr. Jon Coleman provide support each day
and really care about the best interest of kids. And then we have our
Quarterback Club which feed our players, and provide equipment for our
teams. Our cheerleaders are the “best”. We have a great following
of parents and fans to all of our games to support the players. It’s
great to be a Cardinal!
So the 2010 season
has come to an end. We all have some great memories and I hope are focusing
on the 2011 season which will be here before we know it. The kids are
going into the winter sports, which I hope we all support, and those
that do not will be in the weight room, getting bigger, faster, and
stronger for next year. Remember, “Code Red” is for real.
Coach’m up
