Xander Storm was born Oct. 24, 2011 in Guymon. He lived with his family in Hugoton, Kan. and was the much-adored little “Xman." He brought joy to all who met him. He is with Jesus now, but he will be terribly missed here on earth.
The dedication of Guymon High School basketball players will determine the success of the boys’ basketball program next season.
Now at the helm as head coach, Troy Cox made the prediction, elaborating on his statement saying that if the players take full advantage of summer open gym for practice the team could do much better than last season.
“If I can get the kids dedication, we will be successful,” Cox said.
The Tigers finished the 2011-2012 season 11-15.
“We’ve got some talent coming in,” he said of players he anticipates will go out for basketball for the winter season.
Twenty-six Special Olympians from across the Panhandle returned to Guymon last Friday with gold, silver and bronze medals and ribbons.
They left May 8 for the 43rd annual Summer Games at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater with an escort out of town from the Guymon Police and Fire departments.
The local athletes brought home 10 gold medals, eight silver and 21 bronze.
First, second and third places received medals and all athletes placing fourth and lower were presented ribbons.
The addition of a new junior high school softball program will fill a two-year gap between the Kids Inc. program and the Lady Tigers at Guymon High School.
The Guymon Public Schools Board of Trustees approved the new program Monday night.
In anticipation of the game schedule for junior high girls, the Lady Tigers’ coaching staff has held junior high practices since the beginning of this month in anticipation that the trustees would sanction the program.
“We didn’t have a team, officially, but we could come out and play intramurals,” said GHS head coach Wesley Bryson.
