Friday night storm damage in Shawnee. 

The canopy over the gas pumps at the E-Z Mart north of town (corner of Westech and OK 18) was blown off its foundation, landing in a ditch just south of the gas station.

Sources: Little Rock is finalizing a deal to hire veteran coach Travis Ford as the school’s new head coach, per me and @jeffborzello. He’s won 424 games over four Division I stops, including taking EKU, Oklahoma State and Saint Louis to a combined seven NCAA tournaments.

Big time, @sarahcphipps!

[I Was At The Game @IWasAtTheGame]

I love great photos, and Sarah Phipps with @TheOklahoman_ is truly one of the best in the business. Once again, she nailed it — capturing a perfect moment from last night’s Class 2A‑I title game.

And if anyone wondered whether Creed Barrett crossed the goal line, well… here’s your proof.

What an incredible #OKPreps shot!

@FMRangerFan Happy birthday!

[Jacob Unruh @jacobunruh]

Meet Washington freshman Jake Steele.

He was born with Down syndrome, underwent multiple heart surgeries and was diagnosed with autism.

And he has a special place with the Warriors.

In the band. With the football team -- his team. #OKPreps

#okstate coaching moves.

[Scott Wright @ScottWrightOK]

I’m working to nail down specifics of who is staying/going but sources tell me no coaches from the primary staff will be retained. That includes Clint Bowen, Mitchell/Bassett on the OL, and other position coaches. Most of the recruiting and operations staff will stay in place.

[Mayor David Holt @davidfholt]

In the summer of 2024, the news broke that two sports from the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics might be staged entirely in Oklahoma City. After everyone picked their jaws off the floor, the very first question I got was “how did this happen?”

I certainly had a story to tell - one of the most important in our city’s history - but it was not appropriate to share it yet. Now, that story can finally be told.

Thank you to @JenniCarlson_OK with @TheOklahoman_ for digging deep into this history, talking to key figures in OKC and L.A., and bringing that seven-year journey to life. If you have any interest in the Olympics or OKC history, I invite you to read Jenni’s piece below…
