CRAIG COUNTRY SPORTS HISTORY
Photo by David Burgess
This photo was taken at Class C No. 4 White Oak's 43-18 semifinal loss to unbeaten No. 2 Central Marlow at Mustang in 1993, but – somehow – most of the information for the cutline was lost. The Rancher ballcarrier appears to be Reggie Skinner, who rushed 29 times for 131 yards and two touchdowns, giving him a single-season state-record 54 TDs.

HORNET AND LADY HORNET HISTORY
Photo by David Burgess
Jennifer Cass fires a pitch in the Lady Hornets' 5-3 regional consolation semifinal loss to Sequoyah-Claremore in 1992. She had beaten the 10th-ranked Lady Eagles 3-2 in 11 innings in the opening game of the regional, shutting them out for the final 10 innings after giving up two runs in the first inning. Christy Briley started the bottom of the 11th inning with a walk that was followed by a wild pitch and a game-winning double by Beverly Lauchner. Coach Chuck Hoskin praised outfielders Tatiana Burckhalter, Amy Harrison and Lauchner for making several run-saving catches.
