The smell of crisp autumn air during a football game demands its own special feeling, as does basketball, which blends the aromas of freshly finished hardwood floors and popcorn, like a simmering, sports potpourri.
In that same way, spring sports have a different feeling all their own. The season begins with a mixture of warm and cold days, which is followed by the transformation of grass fields from a bristly brown texture, to lush, green bermuda turf, producing a most refreshing feeling.

When the best of the best (of the west) get together, good things can be expected.
In a clean game, with plenty of good pitching, the North team topped the South 2-0 in the Western Oklahoma Baseball Coaches Association All-Star game Wednesday in Weatherford.
The large-school North squad’s pitching trio of Pioneer’s Prett McNaughton and Derek Gabriel, and Clinton’s Devin Ring, hurled a shutout and allowed just two hits.
Chosen to play in the senior-only game were Elk City High School seniors Connor Rogers, who played right field for the North, and Levi Wilson, a short stop for the South. Both Elks made catches in the field, while going 0-for-1 at the plate.

The Elk City Soccer Club Rangers Academy U8-U10 age groups will accept players through a June 15 deadline.
The program, designed to bridge the gap from recreational to competitive soccer, runs from August 1 to May 31, and is based on a “year-long” season lasting 10-11 months, not including June and July.
The Academy focuses on the development of each player, while still developing an entire pool of players in these age groups. The environment is designed to be limited of stress.
Teams play indoor soccer and/or Futsal during the winter season, and compete in approximately eight games per season and 16 per year, not including tournaments.
Teams are formed based on players’ abilities, while games will play 8v8 or 6v6 with goalkeepers.
Players will be allowed to register for the spring season, even if they played recreational soccer during the fall.
For more information, contact Alfredo Hernandez at (580) 799-3766.
