Track
MUSKOGEE COMPETES IN BIG D — The Roughers track team ran against what coach David Heath called an “eye opener” at the 44th Dallas Jesuit-Sheaner Relays, competing amid 31 schools from Texas’ top classification (5A), mostly Dallas-Fort Worth area teams.
“It was a chance for our kids to see some good track and good speed. Texas is known for having some of the best track in the nation and we got a good look at some of that,” he said.
Muskogee had 15 points for 16th place in the field. Garland, Texas, was first with 72 points. The Roughers’ best individual finish fourth in a pair of events — Brenton Bogar was fourth in the 100 meters, running 11.02 and Trae Cook was fourth in the high jump, clearing 6-foot-4 but going out at 6-6.
Andre Anderson, Bogar, Eric Hughes and Vernon Scott were fifth in the 1,600 relay (3:28:17) and the distance medley team of Anderson, Alec Brown, Cook and Lewayne Riley was sixth (11:49.96),
Muskogee is off until March 28 when they travel to Okmulgee.
Baseball
SPERRY 8, FORT GIBSON 0 — Sperry’s Dylan Bundy no-hit Fort Gibson on Saturday in the finals of the Sperry Tournament.
The loss was Fort Gibson’s first, dropping the Tigers to 5-1.
“We just couldn’t get anything going offensively, obviously, and had a few balls drop on us that could’ve been caught that added to it all,” FGHS coach Randy Smith said. “We didn’t play nearly up to where we’ve been but at least we did it in the finals of the tournament, so I credit them for getting this far.”
Fort Gibson is at Locust Grove on Monday.
PRESTON FESTIVAL —Gore went 0-2 on Saturday, losing 5-4 to Howe and 2-1 to Fort Cobb-Broxton. Against the latter, ranked No. 1 by Okrankings.com in Class A, Devan Rineheart allowed just three hits and one unearned run for the Pirates, now 5-5.
