Chandler Fowler, Jenks baseball

Jenks got a big 3-2 win against Broken Arrow and Fowler did a little bit of everything. Not only was Fowler the winning pitcher, but he also hit a home run and drove in two runs.

With the Buffaloes having lost 13 straight games, Gillespie broke the streak by delivering a two-RBI walk-off home run in the 10th inning against Antlers.

Khaiden Gardner, Sterling baseball

Sterling swept Ninnekah to win a district title last week. The entire Tiger offense was impressive, but Gardner hit a grand slam in the first game and scored two more runs in the second.

A 6-3 win against Sapulpa put McAlester in the soccer playoffs for the first time in school history. Martinez scored two goals in the win.

In a 16-0 win against Spiro, Myers went 2-for-3, hit two home runs, had seven RBIs and was the winning pitcher.
