The weather has been an obstacle to the Holdenville Wolverine basketball schedule but they finally had an opportunity to play last Tuesday. The Okemah Panthers came to town with 5 contests under their belt since Christmas Break while every one of the Wolverine games had been cancelled because of the weather.

The unpredictable Oklahoma weather has postponed the start of the post Holiday basketball season. The Wolverines were scheduled to play three games last week in the Konawa Tournament but the Oklahoma weather drenched the area with a beautiful nine inch snow.

When asked about his teams’ practices over the Christmas Break, Holdenville head coach, Dillion Snow, praised his boys’ and girls’ basketball team for their hard work and progress. Now it’s time to put that progress to work.

The Holdenville Boys began the week with a 39 - 50 loss to Wewoka and finished the week with 75 - 59 road win at Meeker.

Holdenville didn’t shoot the ball well and played without their usual intensity. Holdenville Head Coach Dillion Snow vowed his team would go to work and play better when the team made the trip to Meeker on Friday. The Wolverines did as Coach Snow promised and whipped a good Meeker Bulldog team by a sixteen point margin on Friday.
