Relay for Life Sweetheart Dinner

ProvidedSWOSU baseball closes out opening weekend by defeating Emporia State 15-5 for record of two wins one loss to start the sesason. Senior pitcher Jose Laboy started the game with 4 strikeouts in four innings.

Relay for Life is hosting a dinner and basket auction at the SWOSU Pioneer Event Center on February 12th. Starting at 6:30pm, steaks will be served for all attendees in the Sky View Suite. Tickets to the event are required and can be purchased for $20 from a

Relay for Life member or at BancFirst in Weatherford. Tickets must be purchased before the 10th of Feb. All proceeds of the fundraiser will go to the American

Cancer Society. Darla Hawkins who works with the Relay for Life organization explained that they wanted to split the basket auction from the Relay for Life Event in March to help draw in more people. They set up the basket auction for February 12th as a Sweetheart Dinner, because Texas Roadhouse in Oklahoma City will be cooking the steaks. “You can take your Sweetheart out for a steak dinner and fun for $20 a piece,” Darla said. “That’s a great deal”.

Southwestern Oklahoma State University Opera Workshop singers in Weatherford and dancers from the Oklahoma City Youth Ballet are teaming up to present the Oklahoma premiere of David Lang’s Pulitzer Prize winning adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen story—the little match girl passion.The production will take place at two times in the

SWOSU Fine Arts Center in Weatherford—7 p.m. on Saturday, February 16, and 3 p.m. on Sunday, February 17. Admission is free with a canned food donation that will go to the Weatherford Food & Resource Center in honor of National Canned Food Month.SWOSU Music Associate Professor Dr. Kristin

the little match girl passion Coming to SWOSU

Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) with locations in Weatherford and Sayre has announced the establishment of the Marjory Scouten Smith Fund.The endowed fund has been generously provided by Dr.

David Hunter and Dianne (Smith) Hunter, M. Ed. (SWOSU Classes of 1986 and 1990) of Edmond.Dianne is a past president of the SWOSU Alumni

Association and currently serves as chair of the SWOSU Foundation, Inc. Board of Trustees—the first woman in the 40-year history of the Foundation to do so. David has received the SWOSU Alumni Association Service Award and is a devoted and valued SWOSU volunteer.The Hunters are faithful, passionate benefactors of

SWOSU. In late 2007, the Hunters established the Hunter Endowed Lectureship, which has brought excellent psychology programming to SWOSU. Now, the Marjory Scouten Smith Fund will direct invaluable support to SWOSU’s efforts to build and enhance relationships with the university’s alumni, emeriti, donors and friends.“SWOSU is honored by this visionary investment on the

part of the Hunters,” said SWOSU President Dr. Randy L. Beutler. “The Marjory Scouten Smith Fund will assist our Office of Institutional Advancement in connecting to our graduates around the world and in forging future private-public partnerships that will enable our students and faculty to achieve higher levels of excellence.”The Hunters’ latest investment in SWOSU’s mission is

named for the late Marjory Scouten Smith, Dianne Hunter’s

mother.Marjory was born on April 5, 1919, in Sickles (OK) to Roy

and Ida (Ralston) Scouten. She passed away on July 11, 2012, in Oklahoma City at the age of 93. Marjory graduated from Sickles High School in 1937. She married Scott Smith in 1937 in Anadarko. She moved to Weatherford in 1961 and relocated to Colorado in 1975 where she resided until 2005, moving back to Edmond. Marjory worked as a hairstylist and farm manager. She was an artist and loved to paint. Marjory also enjoyed traveling, reading and her "plant room.” She was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Hinton.“We are delighted to pay tribute to our beloved matriarch in

this special way,” said the Hunters. “SWOSU is blessed with a diverse and enthusiastic community of alumni, emeriti, donors and friends, and it is our hope that these resources will permit the university we all love to better engage with and strengthen that community.”The Marjory Scouten Smith Fund is stewarded by the

SWOSU Foundation, Inc. The Foundation was established in 1977 to promote philanthropy and distribute funds to support the activities and programs of SWOSU. Located on the Weatherford campus in the historic Burton House, the Foundation currently stewards over $25 million in assets for the benefit of SWOSU.

The War Is OnThe War is on! It seems that with each day’s

news we see a crumbling of values that once seemed precious. The evening news is a crime report; what horrific description of lives being taken will we sleep on tonight? Life that should be considered sacred is snuffed out without any fear of the Lord.The State of New York has just passed a bill that will allow

abortion up to the date of the intended birth. The legislature in Virginia is considering the same type of bill. This is nothing short of murder. This is not a political question, it is a moral issue. Modern medical technology will often allow a baby born after the second trimester to live and achieve an active normal life. I cannot help but think of our family’s personal experience. Two days before our firstborn was to arrive she was moving and kicking, very much a live human being. For some reason, known only to God, her little heart stopped beating the day before the birth date. God mercifully healed our broken heart on Christmas day with a phone call that changed our lives. An unwed Louisiana Tech coed had given birth to a little girl three days before and on Christmas day she decided to give the baby up for adoption. The phone call was from her doctor who was calling to see if we were interested in the adoption. We were overjoyed and received her into our hearts and lives. That was 1967. If this had happened 6 years later, after Roe vs. Wade went into effect, in all likelihood she would have been aborted. That life, that has given us much joy and two wonderful grandchildren, plus being our caretaker as we grow older, would have been snuffed out on the basis of “inconvenience.” Today’s news brought forth the fact that a committee in the

U.S. Legislature is considering dropping the phrase “So Help Me God.” from those taking the oath to tell the truth in court proceedings. They want nothing to do with God. But for the Christ Follower, there is the knowledge that we don’t

fight the battle in our strength alone. “For though we walk in the flesh we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons are not of the flesh but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We destroy every speculation and lofty idea raised up against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive in obedience to Christ.” II Cor. 10:3-5. This powerful promise gives us hope. The battle for truth and righteousness is not ours alone. The God of creation and Mount Sinai, the God who brought forth Jesus from the grave and gives meaning to life, has not left us as orphans. His promise that the Holy Spirit lives and reigns to destroy fortresses and lofty ideas and speculations that deny God his rightful place in our world, is still in force. Sadly, most of our churches could no longer be called “houses

of prayer.” A called “prayer meeting” designed solely to call for repentance, revival, and renewal, would be poorly attended while a concert given by a popular Christian entertainer would fill the house. In the words of Elton Trueblood, a philosopher/ theologian of the past, “We have trivialized that which is really important and magnified the trivial.” Until we take captive every thought in obedience to Christ, we will reap the harvest of a world gone mad after the things of this world.

Goldie Pettle SWOSU Athletics Mourns the Loss of Jackson WilhiteSouthwestern Oklahoma

State University mourns the loss of Jackson Wilhite, a freshman member of the SWOSU Football team who passed away on Tuesday.“Jackson Wilhite was a fine

young man who I had the pleasure to meet,” SWOSU President Randy Beutler said. “The SWOSU community is saddened by this tragic loss, and we know this is a very hard time for all of Jackson’s family and friends. We extend condolences to all.”Wilhite graduated from Norman North High School last

May and enrolled at SWOSU in August, where he quickly won the starting kicker position during fall camp. He appeared in nine games for the Bulldogs last fall, connecting on 20-of-21 extra point attempts and 3-of-6 field goals.“Since arriving at SWOSU in August, Jackson embraced

being a Bulldog and was a model student-athlete while competing for our football team,” SWOSU Athletic Director Todd Thurman said. “We are sending our thoughts and prayers to Jackson’s family to help comfort them following this sudden loss.”Funeral services for Jackson were held on 1pm Tuesday

February 5th at First Baptist Church in Norman.“Jackson was a special kid who was able to make a

profound impact on our program in a short time,” SWOSU Head Coach Chet Pobolish said. “He was a tremendous representative of Southwestern Oklahoma State University and a hard-working, dedicated teammate to his brothers on the football field. Jackson was a very family-oriented young man, and we are extending our deepest condolences to his parents Joe and Melinda along with his family and friends.”

Hydro-Eakly playoffs live on 95.5FM, The Coyote

SPORTS Presented by:

Doug SelfSWOSU Sports Information Director


With district play starting up this weekend across Oklahoma for classes A and B, it’s all on the line over the next three weeks with all roads leading to “The Big House.” For the Hydro-Eakly Bobcats and Lady Bobcats, the journey to state begins on their home floor. The Lady Bobcats are one of the top teams in Class A this season with a top five ranking to prove it. They began the year with high expectations and won eight of their first 9 games. A runner-up finish in the Canton Tournament, followed by a 3rd place trophy in the West Central Tournament, the Lady Bobcats are 18-3 on the season with their sights set firmly on the first week of March. As for the Bobcat boys, they, too, have some lofty goals over the next few weeks. The Bobcats have a sporty 14-7 record with a couple top 3 tournament finishes, including a 2nd place finish in the West Central Tournament a couple weeks ago. Of those 7 losses for the Bobcats, only 1 has come against a team outside of the top 20 in their class and that was to 2A Minco.The playoffs will be a stiff test for both the Hydro-

Eakly girls and boys. Both, though, start off with a bye on Friday in the opening round of district play which guarantees them a spot in regionals. Joining the

Bobcats and Lady Bobcats in the Union City Region are some excellent teams like Arapaho-Butler, Thomas, and Glencoe. If you take a broader look at Area 1, it may be, top to bottom, the best Area in Class A girls’ basketball. At the top you have the three-time defending state champion Seiling. The Lady Cats can make history by becoming the first girls’ basketball team in state history to win four consecutive Gold Balls. The Shattuck Lady Indians have young talent. Okarche was a state semifinalist last year. If the Lady Bobcats want to make it to Area and beyond, they will need their “A” game going forward. For the Bobcat boys, their region is full of talent as well. The Thomas boys are playing tremendous, Arapaho-Butler will be a tough out, and the Glencoe boys are always strong. Overall in Area 1 for the boys, there is no clear cut favorite. It will come down to who makes the plays in the big moments.Saturday night the journey begins for Hydro-Eakly,

both teams earning that aforementioned bye into the District Championship games. The Lady Bobcats tipoff at 6:30pm against the winner of the Canton and Geary match-up on Friday night. The Bobcat boys will follow at 8pm against the winner of Canton and Geary. You can listen to the Hydro-Eakly playoff run from districts and beyond on 95.5 The Coyote.

Lady Bulldogs Top Century Mark for 19th Straight Win

For the second time this season, the #15/14-ranked Lady Bulldogs scored 100 points in a game as they defeated Arkansas-Monticello 100-78 for their 19th consecutive victory, which establishes a new Great American Conference record. SWOSU surpasses the previous long win streak of 18

straight games, which was set by Harding during the 2013-14 season. The Lady Bulldogs are now 19-1 on the year and 14-0 in GAC play with eight games remaining in the regular season. The Lady Dawgs led 20-14 after one quarter, but found

themselves in a dog fight with the score knotted at 28-all midway through the second quarter. SWOSU then went on a 17-0 run fueled primarily by Hayden Priddy and Taylor Hedrick and ended the half on a 24-5 run to lead 52-33 at the break. Momentum stayed with SWOSU in the third quarter as they build a lead as large as 27 before holding on to win by 22. Priddy led the way for SWOSU with 24 points while

Hedrick reset her season-high for the second straight game with 20 points and seven rebounds. Tyra Aska

added 11 points and seven boards while Hailey Tucker finished with 10 points, eight rebounds and three steals. Alexa Harvey matched her season-high with nine points off the bench, with Savannah Gray adding eight points and Maddie Sperle chipping in seven as part of 31 total points scored by the Lady Bulldog reserves. In total, 11-of-12 Lady Bulldogs who took the floor

against Arkansas-Monticello on Saturday got into the scoring column, with the lone outlier being Bethany Franks, who played just seven minutes in her first game back after missing the past two games due to an injury. "I didn't really like our pressure defensively in the

first half today, but I thought our offense did a good job of taking advantage of what their defense was giving us," SWOSU Head Coach Kelsi Musick said. "We were getting to the lane and forcing them to collapse and that led to scoring opportunities for multiple people. We have a lot of players who can score and I was glad to see several of them step up today." Next up for SWOSU is four straight games against in-

state rivals, beginning on Thursday night at 5:30 pm as the Lady Dawgs host East Central at the Pioneer Cellular Event Center.

Strong Three-Point Effort Not Enough for Dawgs at UAMDoug SelfSWOSU Sports Information Director

SWOSU hit 14 three-pointers on Saturday at Arkansas-Monticello – two off of their season-high – but it was the Boll Weevils who picked up the 90-79 victory at Steelman Field House to sweep the season series against the Bulldogs. Tre Evans finished with a game-high 33 points and

added six rebounds, three assists and two steals, but he was the lone player for SWOSU to score in double figures in the game. In addition to Evans, five other players knocked down two three's apiece, with Nick Shoemaker and Luke Lewallen finishing second on the team with eight points each.

SWOSU shot 42.9% (27-of-63) from the field and 42.4% (14-of-33) from three-point range, but they got to the free throw line for just 15 attempts. The Bulldogs committed 22 personal fouls in the game, sending UAM to the line for 36 free throw attempts, where they connected on 29 for the biggest statistical discrepancy in the box score. UAM outrebounded the Bulldogs 42-to-27, but they were unable to make it count as SWOSU still finished with an edge of 10-to-4 in second chance points. The defeat drops the Bulldogs to 4-16 on the year and

1-13 in Great American Conference play with eight games remaining. SWOSU is back at home on Thursday night, hosting East Central at 7:00 pm inside the Pioneer Cellular Event Center.

SWOSU AT THE VILLAGE- There is a new inter-generational residential experience in Western Oklahoma. Corn Heritage Village and Rehab, along with Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford, now have “SWOSU at the Village.” It’s a collaboration designed to benefit both senior citizens and University Students. Corn Heritage Village provides apartment style independent living for senior citizens at their Corn location. With the new program, the facility provided a free, partially furnished apartment for the SWOSU Students in exchange for their interaction with the Senior Citizens. This program is the brainchild of Henderson, Administrator and Stephanie Warner, assistant Administrator at the Corn Heritage Village and Rehab Center. Two SWOSU Students were selected to take part in the program this September.

We were right around 1800 students.
