COVID postpones Homecoming This COVID stuff is disrupting everything! And how dare it interfere with Homecoming? There’s always been a joke between coaches about homecomings …..We know there’s going to be a homecoming ceremony and a dance and there’s a rumor there’s going to be a ball game! What if the opponent can’t play because they can’t put a complete team on the court? The answer……You postpone homecoming until the visiting can play! Thus the new date for homecoming is January 29 and hopefully both teams will be able to field a team! Holdenville drops two at Okemah Okemah is a tough place to play! The Panthers are always good and it’s really hard to defeat them on their home court! The ever improving Holdenville boys played well at Okemah and came within a basket of tying the Panthers. Brayden McLean poured in 22 points to lead the Wolverines in scoring in Holdenville’s 57-55 loss to the Panthers.

Wolverines earn trophies Sometimes you just say I’m fed up and I’m not taking it anymore! Apparently that’s the attitude the Holdenville Boy’s basketball team has taken when it comes to playing Wewoka! The Wolverines have been a doormat to the Tigers for as long as anyone can remember. Most of the contests between the schools have been a humiliating experience for Holdenville.
