Good week for Wolverine Softball The Holdenville High School softball team closed out the final week of the 2020 fast pitch season by defeating two extremely good opponents. The Wolverines have earned some momentum as they move into the first round of the post-season play-offs.

The Holdenville Wolverines traveled to Moore last Friday to face off with the Community Christian Royals. The Royals looked like a college team the first half and played like an average high school squad the second half. Or, maybe the Wolverines played like a less than average high school squad the first half and a better than average team after the intermission.

Over 400 runners showed up at Holdenville Lake last Saturday when the Wolverines played host to their second cross country meet of the season. The crowd of runners and fans was estimated to be well over 1500 people as over 16 teams came to compete in one mile, two mile and 3.2 mile races.

The Wolverines will make their fourth attempt at senior night when they host Antlers on Tuesday afternoon. The Wolverines will face Meeker on Thursday..

The Wolverines’ sixth victory of the week was the result of another CoVid forfeit. The Idabel Warriors have had a virus breakout and weren’t able to field a team.

The Wolverines got a big win over a highly respected Antlers team. Brooklyn Brown led off the game with a bunt single and Kaden Morris brought her home with a base hit. Coach Morgan also praised the hitting of Cheyenne Fixico and Stevi Huff.
