Whenever Ohio State and Michigan do battle in anything, we’ll be there to take it in. Football, basketball, baseball, curling, you name it, we’ll always be rooting for the colors of Scarlet and Gray to prevail over Maize and Blue. That’s exactly what occurred on Friday night when the OSU men’s tennis team came from behind to beat the Wolverines on the road by a score of 4-3.
The Buckeyes have been awfully good at securing the doubles point under head coach Ty Tucker, but it didn’t happen against Michigan.
Oologah baseball made a statement Thursday at the Adair Festival.
The Mustangs notched a pair of wins behind two clutch offensive bursts and two standout pitching performances, leaning on Landon Roach’s complete game to edge Kansas 3-1 before riding a three-run homer by Maddux DeVilbiss to a 7-3 win over Sperry.
OOLOGAH 3, KANSAS 1
In a tense, low-scoring opener against the Comets, it was Oologah ace Roach who took command, striking out seven and going the distance to anchor a 3-1 victory.
With the game already tilting in Sequoyah’s favor, Wittaker Callery delivered the final blow.
Callery’s three-run double in the bottom of the third capped a dominant 14-0 victory Thursday for Sequoyah over Rogers County rival Chelsea in the first round of the Nowata Ironmen Classic.
The Eagles wasted no time setting the tone at Nowata High School, striking for six runs in the bottom of the first.
Braxton Watkins singled home two runs, Ryder Smalley followed with an RBI single and Callery added a two-run single of his own. Lucas Howard capped the inning by drawing a bases-loaded walk.

OU took a 6-5 lead into the bottom of the eighth, but then Alabama took control. Jason Bodin came out for another inning after working a scoreless seventh, but the first four batters of the frame all reached as the Crimson Tide took the lead. Kade Snell hit an RBI single, and Will Plattner followed immediately after with an RBI double to give the home team the lead.
The persistent narrative that RIck Barnes underperforms in the NCAA tournament continues to take on more and more water.
In fact, Barnes may at last have sunk it for good Friday when he led Tennessee to consecutive Elite Eights for the first time in program history.
Tennessee delivered a big-stage performance that had Peyton Manning clapping and cheering from his courtside seat, The second-seeded Vols overwhelmed rival Kentucky, 78-65, to avenge a pair of regular-season losses to the Wildcats.
