OKLAHOMA CITY – A quick roster adjustment helped lock in all three spots and all five Clinton boys’ tennis players for this weekend’s state tournament, at the regional tourney Monday at the Oklahoma City Tennis Center.
Not to be outdone, the Arapaho-Butler boys’ golf team took the long postseason route but had an individual qualify for state in the program’s first year.
In its inaugural season at Arapaho-Butler High School, the track team qualified three spots for the Class A state meet at regionals in Cherokee and placed others.
Both opponents don’t get much better than what the Clinton soccer teams will face at 6 p.m. tonight in the Class 4A semifinals.
ALTUS – The stage got bigger, but Clinton track’s results stayed the same, as its throwing trio dominated at the regional meet Friday and qualified for state, including a discus title from freshman Kat Meacham, and a new face is also headed to state in sophomore hurdler Javion Hill.
