Oklahoma Notebook: History On Sallisaw's Side; Muldrow Finishes Strong

Sallisaw won eight consecutive games to capture the outright 4A-4 title and the top playoff seed. The Diamonds open the 4A playoffs at home Friday against Jay, the No. 4 seed from 4A-3. The Diamonds can play at home the following week with a win.

“We would like to continue that trend,” Sallisaw coach Craig Benson said. “We came in riding an eight-game stretch and we think there’s still a lot of football left to play and you don’t want to look down the road any at all, but it’s a situation where you strategically sometimes have to plan because we’re able to host two at home. ...

“When you have a No. 4 and a No. 1, the four is usually an underdog, but that’s the great thing about high school football, is you have to prepare each and every week and your season basically starts over.

“It’s like we told our kids: There’s going to be somebody that goes and upsets a No. 1 and we’re not going to let it happen to us.

Quiet Lion Creations: Easy Ettika Bow Bracelet

Step 2: Make the bow. Take your length of ribbon and make a loop in the center around your first finger (pic 1). Take the ribbon on the bottom, and loop back up around your first finger, over your thumb. Take the ribbon to the back of your first finger (pic. 2). Pinch the first loop you made along with the part we just took over the thumb with your other hand (pic. 3). There should be a small opening at the right to pull that ribbon from pic. 2 thru. Pull to form the bow. The arrows show you which way to pull the ribbon. Step 4: Add chain and finish. Measure your wrist to cut the correct amount of chain. The bow will be about 2" long. I needed my bracelet to be 6" long. I needed 4" of chain on each side,  8" of chain total. You need to double the amount of inches of chain you need on each side of the bow because you will be making a loop, and essentially cutting the entire chain length in half by doing so.

One of Boxing's Iconic Champions is Gone - Black America Web

Frazier died Monday night. On Sunday, I learned that he had liver cancer, had been placed in a hospice and wasn’t expected to live long. That news bummed me out, so much so that I – a Baltimore Ravens fan who absolutely WILL NOT MISS a Ravens-Steelers game - wasn’t interested, one bit, in watching Sunday night’s Ravens-Steelers game. Here’s my most vivid memory of the fight: Frazier threw one of his vaunted left hooks. Ellis slipped it and must have thought he was out of the woods. But Frazier had a second left hook waiting for him. Frazier nailed him with it, and poor Ellis – who found out the hard way that truly great boxers throw combinations – was done from that point on. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

there are sluggers, (as was Frazier) and there are boxers, as was Ali, Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Henry Armstrong, etc. etc. etc. Ali...
