The clock is winding down, but there's still a lot of game left to be played.
It’s a rivalry that feels as old as its geographical namesake.
The Oklahoma Secondary Schools Association announced a play-in round for the high school football playoffs and protocols if a team faces a COVID-19 situation during the postseason.
In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the namesake king told a troupe of visitors to “suit the action to the word, and the word to the action” — meaning to say what they mean, and mean what they say. Daniel Amos is quick to do so much of the same in his everyday life.

Just maybe, two things happened Thursday evening.
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma City Thunder will hold a Thunder Youth Basketball camp in McAlester this summer. Registration for the Hustle Camp, scheduled for June 18, is now open.
