It was a beautiful day for baseball! Or as the famous Willie Mays quote says…”Every day is a good day for baseball!” Most fans would agree with Willie Mays! But, if you’ve ever set through a day of misting rain and 40 degree temps, you’d have to agree some days are better than others! Thursday was a beautiful day to play ball and/or watch a baseball game.

Last week’s winner of the Spring sports battle goes to the Oklahoma Weatherman! The spring sport buses ran on Monday and Tuesday but set idle the rest of the week. The Wolverine softball team managed to play three games, the baseball team got two games in and the track team did manage to make it to a meet on Tuesday. The rest of the week belonged to the weatherman.

Holdenville basketball standout, Dah’Myah Olden, has made the 2025 All-State Team. Myah was chosen by the Oklahoma Girls’Basketball Coaches Association as one of the top ten players in Class 3A and 4A.

The 2025 Spring sports seasons will begin with full fury this week. There will seldom be a day over the next few weeks when the ball parks west of town are empty. Holdenville will host some sort of contest in high school or junior high baseball or softball.

It’s reasonable that Holdenville High School sports fans would go through basketball withdrawals. Both the boys and girls have had good seasons. The teams have been exciting to watch. And, this is the time of year that players and coaches are awarded honors for their outstanding coaching and playing. However, as the old cliche’ reminds us…..time marches on.

Kase Sipes has earned All-66-Conference Honors. Mike Piza has earned honorable mention All-66 Conference honors.

The Wolverine Boys and Girls Basketball Teams have had successful seasons. The level of success dictates the amount of honors each team is awarded. The Holdenville Boys will be recognized this week and the Holdenville Girls will be next week.

Kejo Watson, pictured above with his mom, Stacey, played his last basketball game as a Holdenville Wolverine this past week.
