It’s been over two years since the Holdenville ‘ Victory Bell ‘ made a sound at Wolverine Stadium. But a happy bunch of Wolverine players made an attempt to wear it out following Holdenville’s 16-8 win over the Lexington Bulldogs. Holdenville Head Coach, Monty Lewis, turned his squad loose on the bell immediately after the final gun and the team rushed to the north end of the stadium to signal to the world that the long home losing streak had ended.

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.

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.

It’s been a while since Holdenville won a game on the field. (Wynnewood couldn’t field a team last week so as far as most folks are concerned that contest will count as a forfeit.) it’s been almost two years since the Wolverines actually beat another team on the field. Holdenville lost 15 games in a row before walloping the North Rock Creek Panthers 40-0.

Coach Sarah Morgan’s Wolverine softball team continues to improve. Holdenville played seven games this past week and won six. The Wolverines lost to highly ranked Tishomingo early in the week but came back on the rebound to take two games from Atoka ( 6-0 and 4-2), Two games from Hugo ( 12-0 and 10-0.), one game from Antlers (7-2) and a forfeit from Idabel.

Holdenville played Atoka on the road. Brayden Smith swung a big stick for the Wolverines and finished the game 4 for 4. Kaden Morris hit a ground rule double and a home run. Coach Morgan was pleased with her pitchers, Cheyenne Fixico and Faith Norman. According to Coach Morgan both pitchers dominated the Atoka batters.

Holdenville won both games at Hugo. The Wolverines made short work of the Buffaloes and won both games by run rule. Brayden Smith had an inside the park home run. Coach Morgan praised the hitting of Belle Mc-Farland, Emmy Mariott, Cylee Null, Stevi Huff, Kaden Morris,and Brooklyn Brown.

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.

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