MANHATTAN, Kan. – Southeastern returned to action for the first time in the spring at the Kansas State Rodeo with the women's team picking up a fifth place finish, while the men turned in a ninth place outing. The women were once again bolstered by their goat tying performance where a trio of riders placed in the top 10. That group was led by Shelby Whiting who finished third in the opening round with a 6.4 and followed up with a second 6.4 to finish third in the short go which lifted her to a second place finish in the average. Shania J...
EDMOND, Okla. – SWOSU Baseball fell to Central Oklahoma in midweek action 12-11 after an offensive day at the ball bark ended with a bases loaded walk to score the winning run. The two teams combined to score 23 runs on 29 hits on Wednesday, including five home runs on the afternoon. The Bulldogs did most of their damage with two outs on the day, producing eight of their runs in the game led by Rafael Otero's three-hit day including two home runs and four RBI and Garret Gaunt who belted a two-run home run of his own to collect two RBI for t...
WICHITA FALLS, Texas (Feb. 21, 2017) – Madison Hagood and Madison Nordyke each pitched a two-hitter for Oklahoma Christian on Tuesday, but the Lady Eagles came away with just a split of a softball doubleheader at Midwestern State (Texas). Hagood threw a shutout to lift the Lady Eagles to a 3-0 win in the first game at Mustangs Park, but OC fell 3-2 in the second game despite an outstanding performance by Nordyke in which she flirted with a perfect game. In the opener, Hagood (3-2) outdueled Midwestern State's Erin Knox (3-3). The OC l...
OKLAHOMA CITY (Feb. 21, 2017) – What was perhaps Kolton Brown's strongest pitching outing of his Oklahoma Christian baseball career gave the Eagles a doubleheader split against Northwestern Oklahoma State on Tuesday. Brown allowed only three hits and no earned runs in six innings as OC took the first game 5-1 at Dobson Field, although the Rangers rebounded to win the second game 6-3. Brown, a senior right-hander from Yukon, baffled Northwestern (4-8) throughout the first game and would have had a shutout except for an unearned run in the f...
CLINTON, Mississippi — The University of Arkansas at Monticello baseball team was defeated in non-conference action by Mississippi College on the road Wednesday afternoon by a final score of 10-5. Arkansas-Monticello (3-8, 1-2 GAC) got off to a quick start in this contest against the Choctaws of Mississippi College (2-10, 0-3 GSC) after a Brian Ray home-run to right field gave the Weevils the early 2-0 advantage. UAM added to its lead in the next inning after a Lathan McFadden single drove in another run to put the lead out at 3-0. M...
SEARCY – Harding baseball battled uphill from the fourth inning on Tuesday in a non-conference matchup with Union (Tennessee) University before falling 6-5 to the Bulldogs at Jerry Moore Field. Harding (3-7) has not won in four games at home this season, but three of the four games were one-run losses. Union, a member of the Gulf South Conference, improved to 11-1 overall and remained undefeated in eight road games. Trailing 6-3 entering the bottom of the ninth, Harding used two Union errors and a hit batter to load the bases with no outs. F...
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — One by one, the glittering Big 12 championship trophies were paraded into Allen Fieldhouse, set upon a series of tables that these days stretch nearly the full length of the court. Bill Self proceeded to nestle No. 13 right in front. "It's 13 in a row, but tonight shouldn't be about 13," he said after the third-ranked Jayhawks pulled away in the second half to beat TCU 87-68 on Wednesday night, clinching at least a share of yet another Big 12 title. "This should be about these guys first." The streak dating to Self's s...
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A man from Syria who says he was tortured in his home country after converting to Christianity has no legal recourse against an Oklahoma church that published his name and baptism online, the state's highest court ruled on Wednesday. The former Muslim, identified in the lawsuit only as "John Doe," says that after his baptism in 2012 at the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Tulsa he returned to Syria and was kidnapped, tortured and nearly beheaded by radical Muslims who learned of his baptism online. He claims he e...
WASHINGTON (AP) — While serving as Oklahoma's attorney general, new Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt coordinated closely with fossil-fuel companies and special interest groups working to undermine federal efforts to curb planet-warming carbon emissions, newly released emails show. More than 7,500 pages were released under court order Tuesday evening after an Oklahoma judge ruled that Pruitt had been illegally withholding his correspondence, which is public record under state law, for the last two years. Pruitt's office was f...
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma Senate committee has approved legislation to repeal the trigger for a cut in the state's individual income tax rate. The Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday voted 32-4 for the bill and sent it to the full Senate for a vote. Legislation passed in 2014 provided a mechanism to reduce Oklahoma's top tax rate from 5 percent to 4.85 percent when tax collections increase by about $100 million annually, enough to cover the cost of the tax cut. Since then, state revenues have plummeted and the state faces a b...
