While many of the renovation projects at the historic Haskell County Courthouse have been or are being completed by coun-ty employees and others donating labor and supplies, other projects will require funds and fundraisers are being planned.
Plans for renovations and some of the fundraisers were announced during a press conference earlier this month at the courthouse.
The Haskell County Courthouse Reno-vation project is called UNITED. During the press conference, details about the ren-ovation projects, plus other activities and projects underway at the courthouse were announced.
Work that has been or is being com-
pleted with volunteer labor and materials includes relocation of dangerous wires hanging in front of the building, drainage issues, replacement of sidewalks, sod laid, placement of river rock and boulders in the front and sides of the courthouse and a new Memorial Square entryway which will bring attention to Haskell County’s veterans.
“Some of the other much-needed re-pairs cannot be completed with donated labor and materials,” it was announced at the press conference. A contractor was hired to paint the hallways on the first and second floors, and that work is near completion.
Several more projects are scheduled and funds will be needed to complete them.

By Petty Officer 1st Class James H. Green Navy Office of Community Outreach
(Kings Bay, Ga.) A 2014 Keota High School gradu-ate and Keota native will be serving in the Navy as part of a crew working aboard one of the world’s most advanced ballistic missile submarines.
Petty Officer 3rd Class Jacob Underwood, a missile technician, will be serving aboard one of the 14 Kings Bay-based Ohio-class bal-listic missile submarines.
As a missile technician, Underwood will be respon-sible for providing mainte-nance and upkeep for the missiles on the sub, which help in providing strategic deterrence.
“I really like working with my hands and I ap-preciate that this job will give me the opportunity to do that,” said Underwood.
The Navy’s ballistic missile submarines, often referred to as “boomers,” serve as undetectable launch platforms for intercontinen-tal ballistic missiles.
They are designed spe-cifically for stealth, extend-ed patrols and the precise delivery of missiles, and they are the only survivable
leg of the nation’s strategic nuclear forces, which also include land-based missiles and aircraft.
The Ohio-class design allows the submarines to operate for 15 or more years between major overhauls.
According to Navy offi-cials, submarine sailors are some of the most highly trained and skilled people in the Navy.
The training is highly technical and each crew has to be able to operate, maintain and repair every system or piece of equip-ment on board. Regardless of their specialty, everyone also has to learn how every-thing on the ship works and how to respond in emergen-cies to become “qualified in submarines” and earn the right to wear the coveted gold or silver dolphins on their uniform.
“We demand the highest standards from our sailors - both professionally and per-sonally,” said Rear Adm. Randy Crites, commander, Submarine Group 10 in Kings Bay. “Their chain of command, family and our great nation take immense pride in their devotion and service. These sailors are absolutely crucial to en-suring our ships and sub-
marines are operating at their best - always mission ready, providing our nation with the greatest Navy the world has ever known. I’m so very proud these sailors are on our team.”
“The best part of this job is the uniqueness of it,” said Underwood. “Not many people can say they have done this before.”
As a member of one of the Navy’s most-relied upon assets, Underwood and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes.
“Serving in the Navy has made me a more reliable person and instilled in me a higher level of commit-ment in all that I do,” said Underwood.

Murrell, Stigler awarded at NSU media dayBy Tom FirmeSports Editor
Stigler High School’s yearbook staff was honored during Northeastern State University Media Day in early April.
The 2015-16 yearbook, which was led by editor Morgan Boren and assistant editor Aaron Sharp and in-cluded staff writers Rajina Stavedahl, Kelsey Spradley, Grace Hurst and Hannah Hathcock, received a superi-or rating, the highest honor to be achieved at the contest.
The rating was based on a review of the entire yearbook.
Also, at the NSU Me-dia Day, Gracie Murrell re-ceived a second place prize in an on-site feature writing competition.
Additionally, the Stigler yearbook was selected for the Jostens Look Book, a 296-page compilation of the best yearbook spreads. From approximately 3,000 submis-sions, 418 yearbooks nation-ally are selected for the book.

Submitted reportDisasters can strike anywhere at any
time. Whether it’s a natural disaster such as a tornado, or a man-made terrorist attack, there is a need for volunteers to respond to all hazards, as well as to provide public health support throughout the year. It is for that reason that the Oklahoma Medical Reserve Corps (OKMRC) was established.
The OKMRC, Oklahoma’s only medi-cal and public health volunteer program, is directed by the Oklahoma State Depart-ment of Health (OSDH). It is a statewide system comprised of county units and spe-cialty teams, typically operating under the authority of local county health depart-ments. The program’s main objective is establishing a system to identify, train and organize medical and public health profes-sionals, as well as community volunteers to supplement and support on-going emer-gency response systems and personnel.
Lezlie Carter is the state OKMRC co-ordinator who oversees the administrative process and ensures volunteers have prop-er credentials and training for their volun-teer assignment.
“Oklahomans are known for their abil-ity to come together and assist others in times of tragedy,” said Carter. “OKMRC provides the opportunity for people to offer their services in a coordinated and effective manner. We encourage anyone who is interested to join before disaster
hits, so they are pre-identified and trained as a credentialed volunteer who is ready to respond.”
Currently, there are more than 5,000 OKMRC members throughout the state. Many are volunteers who are practicing or retired medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, emergency medical techni-cians, pharmacists, hospital-based workers, nurse assistants, veterinarians, dentists and others with health/medical training. How-ever, it’s not a requirement for a volunteer to have a medical background. Community citizens without medical training can assist the primary health teams with administra-tive assistance, communications, record keeping and other support functions.
OKMRC units share the common goals of:
Creating teams of volunteer medical, public health, and lay professionals to help during emergencies and disasters.
Offering education and prevention to improve the public health of neighbor-hoods and communities.
Upon entering the program, volunteers have training opportunities about a com-munity’s emergency procedures, trauma response techniques, use of specialized equipment and other information.
For more information about the orga-nization or to become a volunteer, contact Carter at (405) 271-0900 or visit the web-site at www.okmrc.org.

Haskell County is cur-rent on its debt payments which are owed on the Haskell County Criminal Justice Center, according to the county treasurer’s office.
Since April 2016 and through March of this year, a total of $562,850.04 has been placed in a desig-nated account. The funds have been withdrawn on the 25th of each month
from that account by the bank that is providing the debt service.
The debt includes prin-cipal and interest pay-ments on the loan for the construction of the justice center, plus payments for a 2015 junior loan.
According to county commissioners, funds will continue to be set aside so that the county will be current in its justice cen-ter debt payments in April 2018.
County current in debt payments

Haskell County, like other small coun-ties in the state, is challenged with inad-equate segregation of duties due to lack of personnel, according to findings of an operational audit recently conducted by the Oklahoma State Auditor & Inspector’s office.
Operational audits were conducted by the state for the county’s fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015.
“One of the bigger issues in smaller
counties is segregation of duties, and that’s where you have multiple people looking at things to make sure there are checks and balances,” said Gary A. Jones, state auditor.
Two other major issues auditors noted that need to be addressed are keeping track of transfers of funds from one county ac-count to another, and proper reconcilia-tion of accounts, Jones said.
“Just like you need to reconcile your personal bank account, you need to rec-oncile the county funds as well to ensure
that you have those proper totals. Ensure there is proper oversight,” Jones said.
The main purpose for conducting the audit is to “make sure that the safeguards are built into the system,” he said.
Jones added that if any deliberate wrongdoing had been discovered during the recent auditing process, “we would have reported on that.”
Jones said auditors believe the county is attempting to address and correct the issues noted in the audit.
“I think they (county officials) were re-
ceptive,” he said. “They were cognizant of the fact that they’ve got issues because of the few number of employees they have in each department. But they did recognize that they understand they have problems and are trying to fix them.”
Follow-up regarding the issues noted in the audits will be completed in the next operational audits conducted by the state. “What we really look for is the next go round, to see what they’ve done to elimi-nate those findings and put those systems, internal controls in place, Jones said.”

in order to reserve space.In past years, vendors
were able to reserve favorite locations for their booths, however that will not be
possible this year, Williams explained.
Major renovations are underway at the county courthouse, and by Re-union Days new sidewalks in a new configuration will be in place, she explained.
funds will be needed to complete them. They in-clude installation of a new heating and cooling system, electrical updates, double pane insulated windows and new interior ADA compliant signage.
In addition to these top four needs, other renova-tions at the historic court-house is needed, including more storage space, repairs and painting in all the offic-es, and repairs in the court-room, deliberation room and law library.
Special events and proj-ects are being planned to raise funds needed for the renovations.
The first fundraiser is a calf roping event on May 6 in Stigler. Details will be included in next week’s is-sue. Information regarding another fundraiser are on Page 3 in this issue.
Other scheduled fund-raisers include a Choctaw Cultural Day on July 22 in Keota and sales of ham-burgers and hot dogs at Sti-gler’s Reunion Day in June.
“We encourage every-one to attend the fundrais-ers and if you would like to sponsor a fundraiser, please let the commissioners or the Renovation Committee know,” it was announced at the press conference.
Future issues will in-clude details regarding the fundraisers, plus updates

Prizes will be given away during the day, and partic-ipants may register for a chance at these at the ESA booth in front of Akins Insurance.

Keota Volunteer Fire De-partment will be selling bar-becue at the fire department

community, church calendar
Shawn Gordon Honey-cutt, 49, of Spiro passed away April 13, 2017, at St. Francis Health Center in Tulsa. Shawn was born to Philip and Shirley Honeycutt on Aug. 23, 1967, in Stigler.
Shawn was a shy boy and a quiet spoken man. He was loved dearly by his family and will be missed by all who knew him. He was rec-ognized by the St. Francis Health Center and was an organ donor.
He was employed by Superior Stone Works. He was a stone mason and heavy equipment operator by trade. He was a hard worker, who spent most of his leisure time with his son, Adric and they enjoyed playing video games together. He had just recently became a grandpa and was look-ing forward to enjoying and spending time with his grandson, Grayson.
Shawn is survived by his son, Adric Honeycutt of the home; daughter, Kay-Lee Harp and husband, Tustin of Gore; the mother of his children, Mindy Hon-
eycutt of Stigler; one grand-child, Grayson Harp; his mother, Shirley Honeycutt of Keota; his father, Philip Honeycutt of Pocola; two sisters, LaDawna Honeycutt of Stigler, and Kasey Wilson and husband, Robert of Van Alstyne, Texas; two nieces, Erin Farmer of Stillwater, and Kenzleigh of Texas; one nephew, Rook of Tex-as; several aunts, uncles and
cousins.Shawn was preceded in death by pater-
nal grandparents, Gene and Nellie Hon-eycutt; and maternal grandparents, Lenora Davis and Ethel and Charley Perry.
Services were held April 19 at Mallory Chapel with the Rev. Jack Sloan officiat-ing. Burial followed at Antioch Cemetery under the direction of Mallory-Martin Fu-neral Home of Stigler.
Pallbearers were Chad Warren, Sam Stubblefield, Jimmy Stubblefield, John-athon Hogan, Devin Hogan and Robert Wilson.

By Hal McBrideDo you remember
“bankers’ hours?” I really hadn’t thought about them in some time. During re-cent years, banks seem to have had expansive hours to accommodate their cus-tomers. But it wasn’t al-ways that way. However, it does seem that many banks are reverting to the limited hours of old.
It seems to me that at the maximum the bank was open to the public was from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Now, for folks working 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., those had to appear to be attractive hours.
“Are you keeping bank-er’s hours?” This was the question that was teasingly ask of a person who might be leaving work early – or arriving late. It referred to the hours a bank was opened to the public to transact business. In the Sti-gler I grew up in, it meant Mr. Stumbaugh would take your deposit. A.C. “Bo” Stumbaugh, but for me he was only Mr. Stumbaugh. I don’t remember the First National Bank of Stigler without him. I don’t know if he was officially the chief teller, but I thought he was.
I believe every successful
business has a person, that vital cog, that makes it run. I always believed that to be Mr. Stumbaugh at the First National Bank.
During the summer months, my final task of the morning would be to take the store (Hays and Buchanan) deposit to the bank and return with the re-ceipt. Just as my instruction concerning the barber shop was to always get in Mr. Lewis’ chair, at the bank I was to go to Mr. Stum-baugh’s window. If he was at his desk, I was to stand by the empty window until he saw me and returned.
But, those guys and gals were doing all the entries by hand with pen and ink. Transactions were calcu-lated in their head and transferred to paper with a pencil. Widespread avail-ability of the mechanical adding machine was a rel-atively new assist.
If you want to see an old upright adding machine, take a visit to the Haskell County Historical Society Museum. The one that served Topsy Williams in Lloyd Sigmon’s office is on display. As an aside, Topsy was Bo Stumbaugh’s sis-ter-in-law and she was the
longtime Haskell County Tag Agent just preceding my mother.
Anyway, the people at the bank in Stigler were looking at your eyes and not at a computer screen. I could see in Mr. Stum-baugh’s eyes if he under-stood my request or if I had relayed my grandfa-ther’s instructions correct-ly. If I was a little off, he explained to me how to do it correctly.
You know, a small town contained so many teach-ers that never taught a day in a classroom. I was so for-tunate to have come across
so many of them.I’ve got to hustle to make
the bank before it closes. It is only open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. now.
“I truly believe that bank-
ing establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principles of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
– Thomas Jefferson

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one anoth-er with these words.

Working in the Word Early in the morning
When things don’t go your way
Helen JamesRemember, He is the way, the Truth and the Life. In
Him you have everything you need, both for this life and for the life to come. Don’t let the impact of the world shat-ter your thinking or draw you away from focusing on God.
The ultimate challenge is to keep fixing your eyes on God, no matter what is going on around you.
When He is central in your thinking, you are able to view circumstance from His perspective. Focus on giants and you will stumble, focus on God and your giants will stumble.
Thought for the Week By Otis Ritch
On your path through this short life, you will experi-ence many things and discover many truths.
Yet the greatest experience in any man’s life comes in the moment he discovers the indwelling presence of the Great Spirit in his own mind.
Ritch is a Choctaw Indian author and spiritual advis-er. He is also a regular contributor to this newspaper.
Tim SmithMinister, Stigler church of Christ
If you woke up early this morning, before the sun had risen, you may have experienced darkness in the quiet-ness. I love the early morning, especially when it’s cold and crisp. I love walking to the deer stand or my favorite fishing hole before the sun comes up. I also love walking up to the church building on Sunday morning before wor-ship as the sun begins to peek above the horizon.
Throughout the Bible, darkness is used as a metaphor to describe the brokenness and sinfulness of the world. You can feel the darkness and the bad behavior of an unloved child. You can feel the darkness in the eyes of a lonely woman in a struggling marriage. You can feel the darkness in a person disparaging Christ to soothe his conscience.
Easter was last Sunday. This is one day of the year that many people who don’t normally darken the doors of the church building go to worship. As glad as I am that they take a moment to reflect on Christ and his resurrection, I wish they would realize their need and His desire for them to worship each week.
The Prince of darkness was threatened by Jesus and was determined to defeat Him. Jesus encountered 40 days of relentless temptation, having a mother and siblings try to discourage Him, a ministry that led Him around the countryside with no place to lay His head, and a great opposition which all lead to His death on a cross. There is so much more to think about, but yes, the resurrection is extremely important. For without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there would be no possibility of our own.
Take a moment, if you would, and read John 1:1-10. A passage that shines light on the next three years of the ministry of Jesus Christ. With all the darkness of the world, there shines a light. In the darkness of Satan, but also his defeat, Jesus is the light and offers us the good news.
Before the bright morning of the resurrection, Jesus had to endure an awful night. He had to embrace the cross. Before our light could dawn, He had to wrestle with all the terrors of darkness. Every one of us has some sort of fear, pain, failure or temptation. We should be obedi-ent, have faith and surrender our will, for what Jesus has done for us.
You see, for too many people, Easter represents a once a year reflection upon the resurrection of Christ. In fact, maybe more think about a bunny than they do about Je-sus being raised from the dead by God. Every first day of the week, Christians reflect on heaven’s assurance that morning will come. Don’t be one of those who misses the morning light.

Preheat over to 450 degrees.Slice English muffins in half. Mix cheese, sherry,
egg, onion salt, mustard and salt. Pile on top of muffin half. Do not pile too high. Top with poppy seeds. Bake in 450-degree oven for 10 minutes or until browned
slightly and bubbling. Cut into wedges with a pizza cutter or a pair of scissors when cooled slightly.
This is an all-time favorite hors d’oeuvre at our house. Everyone always loves it and I have never had it served anywhere else. My mom always kept the ingredients on hand to make even a soup meal special. I find the scissors make it a lot easier to cut up than with a knife. Enjoy this one.

Action Head Start Cen-ters are recruiting children to attend Head Start for the 2017-18 school year. All classes are free full-day pre-school programs where children explore their envi-ronment with toys, books, games and activities.
Head Start services pro-vided include health, nu-trition, education, mental health, parent involvement and social services. Children with significant disabilities are a primary target group for recruitment efforts. Also, children whose families are homeless receive TANF, SSI or if they are a foster child are automatically eligible regardless of income. Head Start is a federal program for pre-school children ages three and four. Although, Head Start is designed pri-marily for children whose families fall within federal income guidelines, all three and four year olds should apply. However, no more than 10 percent of the total enrollment may be available for children whose fami-lies are above the income
guidelines. Parents need to provide their child’s immu-nization record, and proof of income when completing the Head Start application for enrollment.
For more information for a Head Start Center in Haskell County, call (918) 967-3325 or toll free (800) 299-4479.

A ceremony was con-ducted at the Oklahoma State Capitol to officially present to exceptional stu-dents the award of waiver of tuition.
Emily Geer of Keota was chosen by the Office of the President of Carl Albert State College to re-ceive a waiver of tuition. Geer will use the award to attend Carl Albert School of Nursing to complete her Associate’s Degree of Ap-plied Science in Nursing. “I will continue to take online nursing courses to complete my bachelor’s degree and then pursue my master’s degree, at some point in the future.” said the award recipient.
The ceremony was or-ganized by Gary Davidson of Rose State, executive
director of the Oklahoma Association of Communi-ty Colleges, and was held in the second floor rotunda to allow legislators to meet with recipients from their districts and to present ci-tations of congratulations. State Rep. Ed Cannaday, District 15, presented the citation to Geer.
“Ms. Geer is a bright student with a heart for nursing, a profession that requires character attri-butes including the gifts of patience, compassion and empathy,” Cannaday said. “It is a blessing to know that we have Emily aspiring to be a nurse and I commend Carl Albert President Jay Falkner and his administra-tion for choosing Ms. Geer for this prestigious honor.”
The ceremony was con-ducted on March 28.

By Tom FirmeSports Editor
Porum’s baseball team has remained strong down the stretch while continu-ing to sort out its pitching rotation.
The Panthers (19-6) won their third straight game on April 13, winning 5-1 at home against Kinta (0-7).
Mason Coulston, Wrangler Lane and Colby Thornton took time on the mound in the win. Since Coulston has experienced
arm soreness in the past couple weeks, the team has watched his pitching close-ly so that he would not wear down before the play-offs. Porum made the Class A ranking at No. 20 this week. Porum coach Kevin Coulston could not recall the team being ranked be-fore, noting how difficult it is to be ranked in Class A due to the number of teams that also play fall baseball.
The Panthers opened districts at home on April
19 against Porter (7-9) and Oaks (3-2). Porum has won both games this year against Porter, including a 13-12 comeback win on April 6 in the Riverside Confer-ence Tournament. Porum trailed 11-0 in the second inning before rallying.
Coach Coulston is cau-tiously optimistic about beating Porter.
“They’ve played pretty good,” Coulston said.
Porum won districts at home the past two years.

Panthers lose two of three at StilwellBy Tom FirmeSports Editor
Stigler’s baseball team dropped two of three games at the Stilwell Tour-nament before preparing for the final week of the regular season.
“We just didn’t have things going our way,” said Stigler coach Kevin Wilkett.
Stigler (14-12), which are ranked 12th in Class 3A, lost 11-6 to Stilwell in the opener on April 6.
Later that day, Stigler downed Kansas 9-0, led by another powerful pitch-ing performance by Bryce Turrentine. He threw nine strikeouts, his third straight start with at least that many strikeouts. The Panthers lost the fifth place game 5-4 to Sequoyah Tahlequah in eight innings. In the top of the eighth, an errant throw to third base allowed the Indians to tally the go-ahead run.
With games canceled at
Warner on April 17, Stigler was afforded extra practice time.
Even though Turrentine allowed five hits in the April 18 visit to Pocola, the Pan-thers lost 4-3 to the Indians. Pocola scored twice in the bottom of the seventh.
The Panthers play their last regular-season game against a ranked foe on April 20 at Panama, the 11th-ranked team in Class 2A, before a pair of home games.

Quinton’s Satterfield hired by Bethel, Harber to coach Quinton girls
By Tom FirmeSports Editor
Quinton girls basketball and softball coach Tara Satterfield has had a world of success and support in her hometown, but could not walk away from a solid offer to be the girls basket-ball coach at Bethel High School near Shawnee.
After Bethel reached out to her, she interviewed on April 6 and accepted the job two days later.
The Bethel school board approved the move on April 10.
“It happened really fast,” Satterfield said, “I really wasn’t looking for it. My family is here. The com-munity here and the school have been really good to me. I love my team here. I would not have made a lat-eral move.”
Bethel, a Class 3A girls basketball powerhouse that has won four state titles, went 11-15 in 2016-17.
“They couldn’t tell me their last losing season,” Satterfield said.
Satterfield has instilled an environment of excel-lence at Quinton with an 85-22 record, a 2015 state tournament appearance and seven regular-season tourney titles in her four years as head coach.
“We talked about it ev-ery season, our goal of go-
ing to the state tournament. This season, we wanted to try to compete to win state. I believed in [my players] and they believed in me. I trusted in them and they trusted in me,” she said.
Satterfield not only leaves the comfort of coaching in her hometown with her sis-ter, Amber Hubler, as her assistant basketball coach, but also that of having her mentor, Kinta coach Jim Jenson, coaching down the road for the past four years.
Satterfield and Jen-son’s careers have been intertwined.
Before coming to Quin-ton, she was an assistant girls basketball coach un-der Jenson at Coalgate from 2007 to 2011. Satter-field attended Quinton un-til she went to Canadian for her senior year and played for Jenson’s state champi-onship basketball team.
The time under Jenson at Canadian and Coal-gate taught her the values of tough defense, which were evident in her Quin-ton team. The Savages al-lowed 29 points per game and held eight opponents to season lows in scoring in 2016-17.
“Coach Jenson has been a huge part of my success,” she said. “Coaching under him was the best thing to happen to me. The way
he worked with his players and built relationships with them taught me a lot.”
Jenson and Satterfield approach basketball sim-ilarly, frequently talk and consult each other on strategies.
Satterfield said she hopes her relationships with her players last as long as her bond with Jenson.
She expressed her love for senior athletes Macey McKee, Hanna Pitman, Elisabeth Wilson, Ashley Thomas and Tori Davison.
Satterfield will have the situation she craved, focus-ing on coaching basketball.
“I’m excited about it. I’ll be able to be in the gym with my girls in the fall. In my four years as head coach at Quinton, I was never able to do that. I nev-er had a break. I love soft-ball. It’s a load off. That’s one of the reasons I decid-ed to go there,” she said.
Quinton coach Darren Harber, who leads the boys basketball and baseball teams, will now guide the girls basketball program.
“I’m excited about it. I’m looking forward to it. Those are big shoes to fill,” he said. “She set a very high bar. I’m hoping to live up to it. We have some very good seniors graduating, but we have girls coming up who know what it takes to win.”

Stigler’s Gilmore longs to hit the long ball
Staff photo by Tom FirmeStigler’s Madison Gilmore hits a home run in the fifth inning against Sallisaw on April 13.
By Tom FirmeSports Editor
The slow pitch softball season creates a favorable hitting environment and, when the Oklahoma winds blow in the right di-rection, a good chance for home runs.
That’s a good time for Stigler senior Madison Gilmore. While Gilmore was one of Stigler’s top hitters in fast pitch, her hard hitting is accentuated in slow pitch. The ball comes to her slowly, but it jumps off her bat in a hurry.
Gilmore has been one of Stigler’s top two run producers this season. She had six home runs through the end of last week and hopes to reach 10 by the end of the season. She has already improved on last spring’s total of four.
Her home run in the fifth inning against Quinton on April 11 was the start of an eight-run rally for a 10-9 home win. She said afterwards that she knew when she hit it that the team would come back to win.
Gilmore said she loves it when she and a teammate hit back-to-back home runs.
Gilmore and Shauntey Hays drove the ball out of Roye Field back-to-back in the fifth inning of Stigler’s 8-5 win against Sallisaw on April 13.
“I love it when it happens,” she said.That was the first time in two years
that Gilmore and a teammate combined for such an occurrence. Gilmore said that her favorite memories will be hitting home runs and watching her teammates hit the ball out of the park.
Gilmore has taken a senior leader role this year, stepping up as a vocal leader in both softball and basketball, in addition to the stellar work she has put forth in her four years.
On April 20, Stigler will play its district tournament at Heavener, which has a min-iature softball field where home runs tend to fly out frequently. If Gilmore and Hays combine for a good number of home runs against Roland and Heavener and receive ample hitting support from their team-mates, the 18th-ranked Panthers may have a chance to topple the fifth-ranked Wolves.
Coulston: ‘Best seniors to ever come through Porum’By Tom FirmeSports Editor
Porum baseball’s group of five senior starters pos-sesses a deep sense of to-getherness that comes from having played together for numerous years. Mason Coulston, Colt Macom, Ja-cob Smith and Devin Til-lery have played together since preschool and Wran-gler Lane has been with them for several years.
Coulston and Macom display their bond by wear-ing maroon and gold knee-high stirrup socks with their pants rolled up, whereas the rest of the team has worn regular baseball socks with the pants rolled down.
“Originally, it was be-cause we were the middle infielders, but then I moved to third base so now it’s be-cause we’re third base and shortstop,” Macom said, noting Coulston as the shortstop.
Coulston, Macom and Tillery did not hesitate to say that their senior group, which has won a school-re-cord 79 games through four years entering this postsea-son, is the best class to play at Porum.
“We’re definitely the best seniors to ever come through Porum,” Coulston said.
He and Macom grew up idolizing New York Yan-kees shortstop Derek Jeter, but neither saw themselves as naturals like Jeter. Coul-ston has hit .400 in every season, although he would not describe himself as a natural talent.
Macom said that Smith improved the most during the past four years, but Smith and Coulston felt that Macom had pro-gressed the furthest.
“You went from not be-ing able to hit to being able to hit it over [the fence],” Coulston told Macom.
Macom never thought he would pitch before taking the mound in the Riverside Conference Tour-nament on April 6, but has thrown effectively with a fastball in the mid-70-mile-per-hour range.
Each one said Tillery is the best in the group at running the bases. If they need to ask Lane to do one thing, they would rely on the outfielder for catching a fly ball.
Coulston noted how the team treasures Justin “B-Bop” Smith, the broth-er of Jacob who is also a senior and has become a full-fledged member of the team as a senior this year after having always spent time around them.
“B-Bop’s fun. Everyone loves ‘B-Bop.’ ‘B-Bop’ loves everyone. It makes being around here fun,” Coulston said. “He’s been out here just as long as us. He prob-ably thinks about it more than us and concentrates on it more than us. It’s spe-cial having a guy like that around.”
Coulston said that his group has learned a great deal about beating high-quality teams after struggling against such squads last year.
During the basketball season, he, Macom and Smith were part of a team that upset an 18-9 Strother team in regionals to reach the regional consolation fi-nal and finish 14-12, its best mark since 2010.
“In basketball, we learned that we could be better than what we were doing. That moved over into baseball. We beat Le-Flore [ranked 17th in Class B]. That was a big win. We can beat a lot of teams if we’re ready,” Coulston
said, referring to Porum’s March 29 comeback win against the Savages.
Coulston and Tillery expressed confidence that they would beat Porter in districts, but both acknowl-edged that big challeng-es await when they meet highly-ranked teams in regionals.
To Coulston, the biggest issue this season has been leaving runners on base. He said they will fix it as long as they keep getting hits.
Coulston described a state tournament appear-ance as a dream that the team has started to ap-proach in the past couple years. Last year, the Pan-thers earned their first win in a regional tournament.
“If you play in a place like Oktaha, Red Oak or some other place like that, you’re expected to go to state. But if you take a team like Porum, that’s awesome. At Oktaha, it’s just another team, but if it’s Porum, that’s special,” Coulston said.

Seeing end near, Quinton senior quartet anxious for big playoff pushBy Tom FirmeSports Editor
Quinton softball has faced challenges in close games, as the team has a 3-6 record in games decid-ed by three runs or fewer. Sometimes defense has hindered the Savages, but more often their hitting has stopped in late innings. Still, the group of four se-niors, Macey McKee, Tori Davison, Ashley Thomas and Tori Davison, believes it can meet its goal of a state tournament berth with a few adjustments.
“It’s just about winning those close games in the playoffs, but if we play like we’re capable, we could make it to the state tourna-ment,” said Tori Davison.
In fast pitch, the team boosted its scoring and re-fined its defense at the end of the regular season and in districts before facing prob-lems in the third game of regionals.
“It’s that one game we always struggle with. We never push through. If we learn to push through, we’ll make it,” Macey McKee said.
Whereas Quinton start-ed slow pitch out of rhythm due to rainouts the past two years, it has enjoyed success this year with more games played. That enabled the girls in green and black to start 7-4.
“We would get excited
to play and it’d get rained out,” Thomas said, “but this year we’ve only had two games rained out.”
Davison and Thomas are Quinton’s key power hitters.
Davison’s upper-cut swing gives her more suc-cess in the slow pitch.
Teammates count on McKee for her all-around playmaking.
“Macey makes it look easy,” Pitman said.
Pitman is known as the vocal leader.
“Hanna’s always keep-ing us up and motivated,” McKee said.
Davison has improved greatly on the mound after attempting to toss for slow pitch two years ago. Others marvel at how rarely she walks batters
“I tried it my sopho-more year and I wasn’t any good. I don’t know what happened,” she said of her pitching this spring.
The senior quartet ex-pressed its love for coach Tara Satterfield, with each one describing her as a fun coach.
Davison, McKee and Thomas said they feel a sense of urgency to have a strong postseason run with their senior year coming to an end. That has increased since Satterfield accepted a girls basketball coach-ing job from Bethel High School.
