Holdenville splits with Chandler The Wolverines traveled to Chandler last Friday and the games could be summarized by saying the girls couldn’t miss and the boys couldn’t hit. The Holdenville girls opened the evening with a 67-28 lopsided victory over the Lions.

Both Wolverine Teams win 2 lose 1 The Wolverines began the week with a clash with their Hwy 270 rival, Wewoka, a Thursday road trip to Bethel and a Saturday trip to Konawa. The Holdenville boys gave the Wewoka Tigers a good ole fashion beat down.

Allyson Inselman is the Holdenville News female scholar athlete of the week. Allyson has a perfect straight ‘A’ average. The Holdenville High School junior won multiple trophies in the local livestock show last Saturday and then made the trip to Konawa and helped the Wolverines defeat the Tigers.

Wolverines win two at Prague There’s an old saying amongst some coaches that “they would rather play good and lose than play bad and win.” The problem with that philosophy comes when you try to determine how to record wins and losses! The best philosophy is a win is a win is a win! And, a won-loss record only shows how games are won and lost. Neither Holdenville team played their best basketball of the season at Prague but the Wolverines still won both games.
