We had a full schedule of high school sports last week for the first time since COVID-19 came calling last March, and that put smiles on a lot of faces. Above, Stroud Lady Tigers Lilly Thomas, Makenna Hall, Katy Pittman, Jadyn Young and Shelbie Caraveau were happy to be in the dugout at the Cushing Tournament. We decided to celebrate the week by putting together an extra large sports section with softball, football, cross country and baseball photos, articles and stats from across the area. We hope you enjoy it. And be sure to look for our Fall Sports Guide in next week’s edition. Photo/ Chelsea Weeks.
