Thumbs Up
Buffs basketball: Hey, it looks like West Texas A&M men's hoops coach Rick Cooper has his team jelling after Monday's impressive win over previously 9-1 Texas A&M-Commerce. Nice job.
Thumbs Down
Officiating: There is no excuse for the actions of Texas A&M-Commerce basketball player Ronnie Morgan on Monday night - spitting on a referee and kicking chairs. But from these eyes, that officiating job at the physical game between West Texas A&M and Texas A&M-Commerce was pathetic both ways and did nothing to calm down the tempers of the players.

SFA held the Tigers' offense in check and got another glowing game from junior Jordan Glynn in a 102-68 dismantling of East Central Oklahoma at William R. Johnson Coliseum.

Chase Neumann’s entire football destiny took root in a mid-game snap decision.
“He started off as a sophomore playing outside linebacker,” Dewey High head coach Chris Revard said about his All-State defensive lineman. “In his first game against Nowata, coach Henley said ‘He can’t cover the flats.’ I said ‘We’ve got to have him on the field,’ so in the middle of the game we moved him to defensive tackle.”
Thus, history was born.
Neumann’s selection as an Oklahoma Coaches Association All-State defensive lineman, on the East squad, breaks a loooooonnng All-State drought for the Dewey program.
The last Dogger so honored was quarterback Brad Woodard — back in 1991.

Several colleges are aware of Neumann’s on-the-field and classroom strengths.
Southwestern Oklahoma has offered him a fullride scholarship, and a handful of Ivy League and private schools are in contact also with him, Revard said.
