The Oklahoma State University 2011 Christmas Baseball Camps will be next month at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium in Stillwater.
As I mentioned last week, this week will not have any high school basketball, other than teams having a practice or two, even a scrimmage, due to Thanksgiving Break.
The only activity going on this week is compliments of the Carl Albert State College basketball teams. After playing the Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference openers Monday night at home against Western Oklahoma State College, the CASC teams will be in holiday weekend events Friday and Saturday, the women in Kansas City, Kan., and the men in Plano, Texas.
I've been blessed for the past 10 days in seeing three of the smaller school in Leflore County boys basketball teams play. I have seen Cameron, Wister and Leflore play. I believe that any one of these three schools could be a major player in the 2012 Leflore County Tournament.
Spiro, Heavener, Talihina and Poteau had better be on watch for any of these three as they could claim the title.
I saw Cameron defeat Wister by a point, but I believe that the Savages might be the sleeper in the tournament.
BOKOSHE — In one last high school basketball match-up of two LeFlore County schools, each one got a win.
The Leflore Savages handled the Bokoshe Tigers 53-4, while the Lady Tigers clawed past the Lady Savages 54-22 Thursday night at Bokoshe Tigers Fieldhouse.
WHITESBORO — The Whitesboro High School basketball teams got a pair of wins Thursday night to enter Thanksgiving Break on a high note.
The Bulldogs got not only their first win of the season, but got new Coach Wayne Tucker his first win as ’Dogs' coach as they clawed the Buffalo Valley Buffaloes 61-39. That came on the heels of a 53-43 come-from-behind victory by the Lady Bulldogs over the Lady Buffaloes.
The Whitesboro Junior High School teams split their games with Buffalo Valley. The Lady Bulldogs won to remain undefeated on the season, but the ’Dogs lost by three points.
The 2011 LeFlore County high school football season end in a rough way on Nov. 11. The county had two teams, the Heavener Wolves in Class 2A and the Arkoma Mustangs in Class C.
Unfortunately for both teams, it was a one-and-done trip to the postseason as the Wolves lost 47-7 in Stroud to Class 2A's third-ranked Tigers, while the eighth-ranked Mustangs suffered a 54-8 loss to No. 6 Covington-Douglas.
But as I reflect on the 2011 LeFlore County high school football season, there will be a lot of things which stand out.
The Boys and Girls Club of LeFlore County will have a basketball tournament for boys and girls in grades three through six Dec. 3-4 at the Pansy Kidd Middle School Gym.
Cost to enter is $100 per team. Registration forms are available at the LCBGC office at 205 Dewey Avenue, Suite 6 in downtown Poteau. For additional information, call David Deaton at (918) 647-7136.

The Oklahoma State University 2011 Christmas Baseball Camps will be next month at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium in Stillwater.
Several Poteau Youth Wrestling Club members either won or placed in their respective divisions at Saturday's Poteau Tournament at Sherman Floyd Fieldhouse.
In fact, one weight class was a clean sweep for Poteau as at 100 pounds in Division IV, Ross Johnson was the champion, Rae Hendrix was runner-up, Hannah Million was third and Timothy Rankins was fourth.
