Both Wolverine Teams win 2 lose 1 The Wolverines began the week with a clash with their Hwy 270 rival, Wewoka, a Thursday road trip to Bethel and a Saturday trip to Konawa. The Holdenville boys gave the Wewoka Tigers a good ole fashion beat down.

Allyson Inselman is the Holdenville News female scholar athlete of the week. Allyson has a perfect straight ‘A’ average. The Holdenville High School junior won multiple trophies in the local livestock show last Saturday and then made the trip to Konawa and helped the Wolverines defeat the Tigers.

Wolverines win two at Prague There’s an old saying amongst some coaches that “they would rather play good and lose than play bad and win.” The problem with that philosophy comes when you try to determine how to record wins and losses! The best philosophy is a win is a win is a win! And, a won-loss record only shows how games are won and lost. Neither Holdenville team played their best basketball of the season at Prague but the Wolverines still won both games.

Wolverines sweep Okemah The Holdenville Wolverine basketball fans that made the trip to Okemah last Tuesday were treated to two of the finest high school basketball games in the history of the school! Girls win 53-50 Both Holdenville and Okemah girls were ranked in the top ten and the match lived up to the expectations. The game was close throughout and wasn’t settled until the final seconds when Okemah failed to connect on a desperate half court three point shot.
