The recent run of success in the Clinton girls’ basketball program looks to continue next year, with the entire starting lineup and reserves back and prep for the upcoming season started Friday at Weatherford’s camp.
Team players rarely get the recognition of the superstar on the roster, but Clinton senior defender Jordan Olvera got some hardware for his unselfish hard work over the years, when the Reds won the Class 4A boys’ soccer state title.
The Clinton Preps baseball team (7-0 overall) continues to shine bright this summer, sweeping the Kingfisher Tournament with a record of 4-0 to capture the title.
After a dominant, 24-3 win over Hennessey last Thursday, the Preps swept Friday’s doubleheader.
WEATHERFORD – Friday’s opener in the Weatherford Festival went awry late for the Clinton baseball team (3-3 overall), falling 13-5 to Elk City, but CHS didn’t stay down and won back-to-back games Saturday to return to .500 on the summer campaign.

Plenty of unknown, big-time stars littered the Clinton boys’ soccer roster this year, and one that really flew under the radar was senior midfielder Diego Martinez.
Like many of the breakout players for the Reds, Martinez was always talented.
KINGFISHER – The Clinton Preps Baseball team (2-0 overall) picked up its secondstraight win to open the season Thursday, beating Hennessey in the Kingfisher Tournament, 24-3.
The Preps exploded for 17 runs in the top of the first inning, putting the game out of reach early.
Two Red Tornadoes will put on the pads one more time this weekend, with senior running back/defensive back Tyson Miller and senior fullback/defensive tackle Raynen Pleasant participating in the K101 Bowl, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday night in Woodward.
