The 2020 Holdenville Wolverine Cross Country team finished the season at Waurika Saturday. The team didn’t have a runner that finished high enough to make state but Holdenville head coach, Ryan Turner, was pleased with the improvement the team made through out the year.

This is definitely the strangest year ever in high school sports! Holdenville High School has had to reschedule the 2020 homecoming ceremony three times! Two games have been cancelled or postponed! These kinds of weird scenarios have been happening through out the sports world and Holdenville is certainly included in the mix. The sports year started with the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association trying to imagine all the scenarios that could effect the district and state championships but there’s been an average of over 20 games postponed or cancelled every week and that’s more than anyone could have imagined.

The Holdenville Wolverines will host the Washington Warriors this Friday for Homecoming 2020. This year’s Holdenville High School Homecoming will fit the MO for 2020, the year of the virus. Most of the time, the choice of opponents for homecoming is the weakest team on the home schedule but this year the Holdenville Homecoming will feature an opponent who is by far the strongest team on the schedule. Wash-ington is good. They’re real good. They’re the best team on the schedule. They’re the team that’s picked to win the district and the team that many pick to win state.

The NEWS learned today that HHS Homecoming festivities have been postponed and set for Friday, October 23, 2020. The Wolverines went on the road last Friday and once again got off to a slow start.

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.
