WEATHERFORD – It had been three seasons since the soccer version of the Custer County Conflict had been played, and the Clinton soccer program reminded Weatherford who ran the soccer rivalry in recent years, sweeping the Eagles Thursday night on the road.
A second shot at its non-district rival awaited the Clinton baseball team (11-7 overall) Thursday night at home, but heading into the bottom of the sixth inning, Kingfisher (14-5) had a 5-2 lead and appeared to be headed for its second win in as many attempts against the Reds.
Trailing 5-0 through the first two innings, the No. 18 Arapaho- Butler baseball team was in trouble against No. 15 Shattuck at home Monday night.
Just like Arapaho-Butler baseball, the A-B slow-pitch softball team (9-9 overall as of press time Thursday) has created winning momentum down the stretch, before district pairings are set to be released next week.

There was no rest for the Clinton girls’ golf team to open the week, playing back-to-back tournaments Monday and Tuesday, after having played just one all season prior, but the young squad battled against the elements to take home a thirdplace team trophy Tuesday at Tecumseh’s tourney.
Six players from the Clinton and Arapaho-Butler basketball teams received big-stage honors for their efforts this past season.

Since its districtopening, run-rule loss to Elk City, the Clinton baseball team (10-7 overall, 6-1 in district) has responded by laserlocking its focus and winning six-straight in 4A-4, including a second-consecutive, doubleheader sweep Monday night at home against Harding Charter Prep.
