DICK DODGE may be down, but he's
sure not out. In 1994, the last time the Arapaho girls won a
state basketball championship, Dodge was an Oklahoma Highway
Patrol trooper and escorted the team from Arapaho through Clinton

because of a debilitating stroke, Dodge was sitting by the side
of the highway this morning cheering the 2006 team on as it
left for its own state tournament. (CDN photo by Robert Bryan)3-2-06 |
