TALIHINA — Talihina’s season came to a close at the Doc Robinson Stadium on Friday night as the Cashion Wildcats used a first-quarter salvo and a fourth-quarter knockout punch to defeat the Tigers 42-24.

Three years ago when the Talihina Golden Tigers football team made the state quarterfinals, they had the dubious honor of traveling to Hennessey, located 20 miles south of Enid. The combination of the four-hour road trip and playing a good Hennessey Eagles team led to a season-ending loss for the Golden Tigers.
In 2012, the Golden Tigers are back in the state quarterfinals, but this time they're home. The Golden Tigers (11-1) will entertain the fifth-ranked Cashion Wildcats at 7:30 p.m. Friday night at Doc Robinson Stadium in the Class A state quarterfinals.
I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving and thanks God for all the blessings — past and present — He has given you. I did as arrived Wednesday night in Enid to enjoy the holiday with my 86-year mom. We both slaved in the kitchen on Thursday — not. We decided to go to Golden Corral for our Thanksgiving Day meal. I'm actually going to be gone until early next week, which I can never remember having that much time off during the athletic school year in my 22 years as a sports writer. Mind you, I'm not complaining.

Gun season is in full swing, and once again I have not laid eyes on a deer yet. We did have a good time camping with the family last weekend, and a few deer were killed even though that is not the main reason I go camping with my family. I know I could kill more deer if I left the kids at home, but that just would not be right.
Behind 27 points from Adrion Webber and strong play on both ends of the floor, the Carl Albert State College Vikings shocked the 10th-ranked Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College in a 72-70 upset Tuesday night in Coffeyville.
However, the news was not as good for the Carl Albert Lady Vikings. Despite getting a career-high 15 points from Ericka Edwards, the Lady Vikings lost 61-52 loss to Coffeyville in the first game Tuesday night.
Both teams will be in Thanksgiving holiday events Friday and Saturday.
Sunday Couple Scrambles at Wolf Ridge Golf Course will take place at 2 p.m. Sundays. The entry fee is $15 per person for the nine-hole weekly event.
