With the final week of the high school football regular season kicking off, Mooreland looks to make the playoffs for the first time in five years. However, the Bearcats need a little help in keeping that final spot. If Texhoma defeats Hooker and OBA beats Fairview, then the Bearcats will finish with the fourth playoff spot. However, Mooreland could finish fifth with an OBA win and a Hooker win due to losing to the Bulldogs last week. In every other scenario, Mooreland has a shot at third place in the district. The Bearcats could play at...
On a chilly Friday evening, the Mooreland Bearcats hosted the last regular season game against the Hooker Bulldogs. Both teams needed this win to seal their fates and continue on to the playoffs. The Bearcats came out to win and scored first with a nice pitch from quarterback (QB) Dawson Frazier (1) to Connor Scarborough (27) who rushed in for 6. The 2-point try was no good and with 6:32 left in the first, the Bearcats led. The Bulldogs and the Bearcats missed opportunities to score due to... Full story

With the victory, the Dawgs vaulted back into first place in the GAC standings, a position they now hold with two matches remaining i...
OKLAHOMA CITY (Nov. 6, 2019) – Texas-Tyler defeated Oklahoma Christian 3-0 on Wednesday afternoon in a women's soccer match ended prematurely by lightning in the area. The game had been moved up a day from Thursday due to anticipated rain in the area and the storm arrived with a little more than 15 minutes left on the clock. When officials called for a lightning delay, OC coach Meagan Anderson and her Texas-Tyler counterpart, Stefani Webb, agreed to end the match then, with 70 minutes – the minimum required for a game to officially count – havi...

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A 70-year-old northwest Oklahoma man has pleaded guilty to trying to hire his business partner in Kansas to kill a man in Oklahoma City. Court records show Vernon Wayne Brock of Alva signed a plea agreement Wednesday admitting he tried to "conduct a murder for hire" plot to kill the unidentified man. Prosecutors say Brock asked his business partner in vape shots to kill the boyfriend of a former employee who had ended a sexual relationship with Brock. The employee and the business partner are not identified in court d...
WAGONER, Okla. (AP) — A man already imprisoned for murder has been charged in a separate 1995 killing in northeastern Oklahoma that state investigators say they solved by reanalyzing DNA evidence. Court records show 58-year-old Kenneth Tyrone Brown was charged Tuesday in Wagoner County with one count of first-degree murder in the killing of 24-year-old Donald Hawley. Hawley was found beaten to death on the bank of the Verdigris River north of Muskogee in April 1995. Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Director Ricky Adams says the a...
McALESTER, Okla. (AP) — A southeast Oklahoma sheriff's deputy has been cleared in the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old man who authorities say was trying to pull a gun on the deputy. The McAlester News-Capital reports that Pittsburg County District Attorney Charles Sullivan on Tuesday found the Oct. 11 shooting of Sayven Rowland by Deputy Cody Vaughn was justified. Sullivan said an investigation shows Rowland was reaching into his pants for a weapon after twice being shot with a "pepper spray like gel" when Vaughn shot him. Rowland was p...
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A top Republican legislator's complaint has launched an investigation into whether the commission that screens Kansas Supreme Court applicants violated the state's open meetings law in picking three finalists for Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly to consider in filling a vacancy. The complaint from Senate President Susan Wagle is likely to intensify efforts by fellow conservatives to give legislators the power to block a governor's appointments to the state's highest court, something they cannot do now. Republicans have had a r...
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Prosecutors have filed federal identity theft charges against a Mexican immigrant whom a former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent tried to free from jail. The U.S. attorney's office said in a news release Wednesday that they have charged 33-year-old Juan Tapia of Mexico with one count each of using another person's Social Security number, aggravated identity theft and unlawful possession of a firearm. Prosecutors say former ICE agent Andrew Pleviak falsely identified himself as an ICE agent in a foiled e...
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Congressional Republicans from Kansas have rejected a request from the delegation's lone Democrat that they join her in opposing a federal policy that allows faith-based adoption agencies to get taxpayer funding even if they turn away same-sex couples. Rep. Sharice Davids sent a letter Tuesday asking GOP colleagues to use their relationships with President Donald Trump to help reverse the policy. It rolls back a regulation from former President Barak Obama's term barring discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation a...
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The acting secretary of the Kansas Department of Corrections said a mass commutation of offenders was worth considering during his confirmation hearing. The Wichita Eagle reports that Jeff Zmuda was asked to comment Tuesday on what happened one day earlier, when more than 450 inmates walked out of the doors of prisons across Oklahoma as part of a massive commutation. Zmuda said Kansas officials are looking at several ways to make reforms and ease overcrowding and "that's certainly one that could be considered." Senate M...
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved removing Dr. Martin Luther King's name from one of the city's most historic boulevards, less than a year after the city council decided to rename The Paseo for the civil rights icon. Unofficial results showed the proposal to remove King's name received nearly 70% of the vote, with just over 30% voting to retain King's name. The debate over the name of the 10-mile (16.1 kilometer) boulevard on the city's mostly black east side began shortly after the council's d...
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Democratic state Rep. Brandon Whipple has defeated the incumbent mayor in Wichita after a contentious race marked by partisan meddling. Mayor Jeff Longwell lost his bid in Tuesday's election to keep the office he has held since 2015. Unofficial results show Whipple received 46 percent of the vote to 36 percent for Longwell. Less than 18 percent wrote in a candidate for mayor. The race was inflamed by an online ad that falsely suggested Whipple had been accused of sexual harassment at the Statehouse. Republican leaders l...
MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Police in a Phoenix suburb got a strange 911 call recently. A 5-year-old boy didn't have an emergency; he just wanted to order a Happy Meal from McDonald's. A Mesa police officer delivered the food in person to the child, along with some advice about the proper time to use 911. Randy Skabelund spoke to the dispatcher in a follow-up call to say there wasn't an emergency and his son Charlie must have had his cellphone. Officer Randolph "Scott" Valdez arrived later at the family's home for a welfare check. He brought the r...
