WILBURTON — Several Heavener Wolves and Lady Wolves track athletes placed at the Wilburton Invitational on March 29.
For the Wolves, Shaun Bradley won the long jump, Aaron Turner was runner-up in the discus and Dakota McGee was third in the 3,200-meter run.
For the Lady Wolves, Krista Doyle tied for first in the long jump, Laura Jo Allen won the discus and Kamber Vasquez tied for third in the high jump.
You might say I had a couple of friends who were “Thunderstruck” a few weeks ago. Charles “Donk” Perry and his wife, Sharon, jumped on “The Blake Express Plane” and flew to Oklahoma City to see the Oklahoma City Thunder play the Houston Rockets at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Now, this was the first time the Perrys had ever flown. The Blakes' plane is a small, twin-engine plane. “Donk” said that he never has seen so many ponds and oil wells. He was a little nervous in the plane, but Sharon enjoyed the flight.
