Football
The Chieftains battled the rain, wind, cold, and the East Central Cardinals last Friday, and ended the season victorious with a 47-11 win. The Chieftains finish the regular season at 7-3 and are headed to Grove this Friday to take on the Ridgerunners in the 1st round of the playoffs. Kickoff is at 7pm. Groves visitors side is NOT very big. I would suggest bringing a chair to sit in just in case. We should be getting info from them early this week, which we will share on our social media pages when we do. Also, we will be taking a student bus for 9th-12th graders. We will send out the info to students Monday afternoon.
Basketball
11/29 will be here before we know it, which is the home opener for the Chieftain basketball teams as they take on Sand Springs in the Chieftain Center. That night will be the annual “Beary Christmas” where the girls’ team collects stuffed animals to donate for Christmas. ALSO, we will be having a competition with Sand Springs for Cleats For Kids (https://www.cleatsforkids.org/) to collect gently used sporting good items (cleats for all sports, gloves, bats, rackets, shoes, etc.).
Other dates for basketball season:
- Mid-winter court: February 3
- Senior night: February 7
- Employee of The Year celebration: February 14
