Minco softball has emotional return to field six months after bus crash Minco softball returned to action Monday, but after a horrific bus crash, this wasn’t just the start of something new. It was also a continuation of something sacred.

Always honored to share the story of Minco softball. This team, its players and coaches, continue to welcome me with open arms. Their joy has become mine, and I hope they inspire you like they have inspired me.

Rosie Davis' walk-off HR 'felt like butter' in Oklahoma State softball win vs Nebraska The pitchers' duel between OSU's Ruby Meylan and Nebraska's Jordy Frahm met expectations and Rosie Davis won it for OSU with an 11th-inning bomb.

Videos of Rosie Davis' walk-off homer keep popping up -- and I watch it EVERY SINGLE TIME. What a great game that was. Thanks, OSU and Nebraska. How about you do that again a couple more times this weekend?

Big day in Oklahoman Sports HQ -- we found out we won a Triple Crown in the APSE contest. Print. Projects. Event coverage.
So proud to be part of this team!

Softball friends, I heard from Marita Hynes today. There's apparently a site out there that reported her death. The former OU coach and admin most certainly isn't. We chatted, and she wants folks to know she's doing just fine.

OU football LB Owen Heinecke's eligibility appeal denied by NCAA OU football linebacker Owen Heinecke's NCAA eligibility appeal was denied, impacting the Sooners' depth and his future.

Broke a little news today. Sad to see this appeal denied, but from the first time I talked to Owen, I knew that he was a star human in the making. I have no doubt that he's going to be great no matter what.

Thunder up 68-41 at halftime. Lu Dort leads all scorers with 13 points, followed by SGA with 12. Magic have three tied with nine points.

Thunder still doubling up the Magic, 61-30 with 2:59 left in the second quarter.
Orlando finally got over the more-made-baskets-than-turnovers hump, so that's something.

Did not have Isaiah Joe posterizing Banchero on my bingo card.

I just told Andrew Schlecht that Hartenstein was seeing Wagner and some dude wearing No. 93 shooting threes, Isaiah was gonna shoot one.
AND HE DID!
HA!

Maybe the Thunder should see if @jeffapatt.bsky.social will move me permanently onto the beat. OKC playing as well as it's played all season, up 39-14 at the end of 1Q.
(Kidding, by the way. Our man Justin Martinez is killin' it!)

Thunder rollin' early, up 28-10 with 2:43 left in the first quarter.
Sharp on both ends of the court.
SGA and Dort both have eight points, Jaylin Williams seven.
Orlando now shooting 20.0 percent.

Alex Caruso, Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams have also checked in. Thunder seemingly getting some guys healthy.

Thunder firing early, up 17-8. Shooting 58.3 percent while holding the Magic to 27.3 percent.
OKC also getting into passing lanes, making basic things difficult.

Thunder starters: Dort, Holmgren, Hartenstein, Wallace, SGA

Let's ball.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams have gone from questionable to available on the Thunder injury report. Alex Caruso is still questionable for tonight vs. the Magic.
But the Thunder went from almost no bigs to all of 'em being available.

Still awaiting OKC's starting lineup. Lots of questionable players on the injury report, but SGA, Hartenstein and Caruso have gone through warmups. I may have missed others, but we'll see if any of those guys are available.

Filling in for Justin Martinez on Thunder duty tonight. Take it easy on me, Thunder fans, but I'll do my best to keep you updated.

Same!

If you know me or have followed my social media for any amount of time, you know how big a fan I am of Red Panda.
My heart was going a mile a minute when I approached her after her performance Saturday.
What a treasure.

If you ever had the good fortune to meet Clendon Thomas, you met a prince among men. So genuine. So kind. I'm heartsick to hear this news. All hugs to his wife, Soni, his family and his friends.
