December 8th
Hi, my name is Roy. I am 15 years old and I am pretty new at Boys Ranch Town. I’ve been here for about a month and a half. I am originally from Oklahoma City and I have two sisters. If I had to describe my family, I think I am a pretty lucky guy because I come from a loving and a caring family. My grandparents raised me and my sisters. We are grateful for them caring for us.

The Oklahoma Panhandle State Aggies stuck to their game plan and did what they set out to do against West Texas A & M on Wednesday, but it wasn’t near enough to stop the surging Buffs.
OPSU kept West Texas from beating them inside the paint, forcing them to take shots from the perimeter. West Texas obliged, going 8-for-18 from long range, while their smothering defense did the rest as they topped the Visiting Aggies, 68-45.

With 3 seconds left, Guymon coach Tyler Chapman looked at the clock, shook his head and asked aloud, “Are you serious?â€
