    Bob Stoops and the Oklahoma Sooners were on life support. After a disappointing 8-5 season, capped off with an embarrassing loss to Clemson, Bob Stoops was starting to feel the heat. So Stoops went out and made the best move of his career. He hired Lincoln Riley from ECU, and he gave the keys to his new offense to Baker Mayfield, the former walk on from Texas Tech.

If that wasn’t enough, Junior races back to the other side of the court and pulls back to take a three. It goes and soars through the air like a bird. Finally, it swishes right through the net without making a sound but, at the same time, crushing all of Wellpinit high school varsity basketball team’s hopes and dreams. Junior continued to display his A-game on every court, bringing them the championship title of the varsity league. The reservation team, Wellpinit continued to go on a losing streak from that point on. We from our seats don’t understand the damage that has been done. But, from a Native-Indian’s perspective of dealing with negligence their whole life, the Wellpinit basketball team’s future dreams of making it into the NBA would be crushed and destroyed while the privileged whites continued to shine.

    As a fourth grader, being told that “winning isn’t everything” was a little hard to believe. Only recently do I realize how true this statement is and how important it is to learn this. I believe that in playing sports, what is most important is improving oneself, working as a team, and demonstrating good sportsmanship. Playing CBAA basketball has taught me these values and has played a large role in shaping me into the humble and compassionate person that I am today.…

    Personal Narrative: Team Hoyt Father Of The Century

    Upon regarding the first clip, “Team Hoyt- Father of the Century”, a feeling of awe struck me. My eyes welled up to see the undying love of a father for his disabled child. To the father Dick, his son Rick (who has cerebral palsy- this happens when a child does not receive enough oxygen at birth or fetal stroke- which leaves the child with stiff muscles or affect one limb or the whole body) meant the world to him. I was so proud and overjoyed to see a father do so much for his son, helping his son- Rick lead as much a normal life as possible. In this day and age, where everyone is bound by the fetters of work, pressures of time, Rick’s father shows a sense of immense responsibility, passion, love, hard work and dedication to improve…

    Gender Roles and Homosexuality in Sports

    As society progresses, homosexuality becomes more prevalent and people become more comfortable with the subject of sexuality. Homosexuality is something that has dated back to Greek times, but just in the past 50-100 years has become more common; not that homosexuality did not exist, just that more people are becoming more comfortable and coming out. Gay and Lesbian people are all around us, weather it be the work place, schools, and specifically athletics. Many coaches, players, and athletic directors are gay and are becoming aware of the double standard and homophobia that exists in the heterosexual world, most commonly at the collegiate and professional level.…

    Character Analysis: Glory Road

    Helping his team reach victory through personal and emotional support, he often put his own issues at home second to the problems with his team. Receiving death threats, hate mail, and acknowledging sometimes statewide hatred, a lot was on his mind throughout the duration of the season. As the season progressed with their winning streak, Texas Western was placed on the map as a top contender for the championship, meaning they would also receive a lot of media coverage and attention. Unfortunately for Coach Haskins, this attention caused an exponential growth in the disgust for him and his team. Fortunately, though, Haskins only goal was to win, and although his and his family’s lives could’ve been in danger, he stood his ground and continued his warpath to…
